An awesome show for your children to grow onto. Steve is a fantastic role model and teach young and old, to respect animals, and the habitat they live in. R.I.P. Steve, you inspired so many, and you will be missed dearly.

What Parents Need to Know
This review of The Crocodile Hunter was written by Emily Ashby
Parents need to know that this show's stars include crocodiles, lizards, and snakes, and although the host doesn't seem to mind, he occasionally does get nibbled on (and bitten). Part of that is due to his tendency to get in the animals' faces, behavior that kids shouldn't imitate at home. Kids who are leery of bugs and reptiles may want to tune out. Animals are shown close-up in their natural habitats, and viewers are inundated with fun facts about the creatures. Parents may have to answer questions about "breeding" or "mating," as the host often points out occurrences when they're available. Note: Host Steve Irwin was killed in September 2006 following an encounter with a wild stingray.
Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about wildlife endangerment. How does a species become endangered? What can be done to preserve it? What can you do in your own home to maintain environmental health? Parents also can talk with kids about animals' specialized skills that help them survive. How do animals protect themselves from their environmental dangers? What are some of your own special traits or skills?

Is It Any Good?
The Crocodile Hunter is great for kids who love animal facts, and the ick factor no doubt will add to the fun for some. But parents take note -- Steve often pokes, prods, and pulls at the animals to capture them or prompt some sort of reaction, so kids might need a reminder to not do the same to the creatures they meet.

What a tragedy.
I cried when Steve died. I really did- it was horrible. He did so much to protect animals.. how horrible. I loved the show and I still do. It's funny enough to keep the kids interested, but it's still very educational. Thanks steve. We miss you.
