This one man, in his short time in the spotlight, did more to educate the public and humanize reptiles than most of us can hope to do in our entire lives. I believe firmly that with the death of Steve Irwin, Animal Planet switched gears to what it has become today. People like Steve, Jeff Corwin, Nigel Marvin, and others are in a class all their own...these are the kind of people this hobby deserves, and the kind of person we all should strive to be.
