Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

I agree. He was stupid at times, but he was really passionate and really wanted to educate the world.

Damn! That just plain sucks! This really saddens me to no end.
I know a lot of people didn't care for him. They say he's careless, and foolhardy. Ya know, a LOT of us either ARE, or STARTED out the same way. Gung Ho, with no fears of getting bit, wreckless if you will. Well, he may have been all that, but he was a genuine person. He truly cared for the animals, and education about them was his first interest. Perhaps it should have been second to safety after reading this.
Having had the occasion to meet Steve once during his Cochise Canyon, AZ episode, I know that the enthusiasm he felt and displayed for reptiles, and teaching people about them was the real deal. The way he lit up when the subject of reptiles came up........not something you could fake too easily. He had a huge heart, and it showed in his love of animals.
R.I.P. Steve Irwine

This man was one of the great Naturalists of the 21st century. He was a very passionate Conservationist and will be missed by 1000s of people throughout the world. I learned a lot from him. He is responsible for my love of Crotalus. I will miss him, may he rest in peace.
