Steve Irwin, through his TV series and specials, showed the world what animals are truly capable of. In every encounter, he spoke all about the animal's plight and why it should be protected. His hands-on approach revealed another dimension of the animal kingdom; one the world would be oblivious to were it not for his constant risk-taking for the sake of educating us about species that we threaten yet may otherwise never see.
I have more respect for the stingray now that I know what it is capable of than ever before, and that goes for just about all animals Irwin presented in his characteristic way. Let's not let his strong personality and dramatic flair fool us: he was a professional who lived (and died!) with selfless dedication to conservation.
