I watched this episode everyday when I was 3 or 4 with my grandpa and always wished I worked at their zoo and still want to work there if I had the chance to work there I would because I love wild life in everyway just not snakes I'm scared of snakes but the rest I'd definitely work with I remember when bindi was born and she grew up too be my crush if I had the chance to work at the zoo I definitely would
She may have been upset at the time to have the film crew there but how priceless and precious is this video to the family now. How wonderful to have it memorialized on tape. Steve was such a great dad.
I cannot imagine the depth of searing pain Terri experienced losing her once-in-a lifetime soul mate. Those two were absolutely made for each other. And they made two beautiful children to be proud of. To this day I have a sore spot from the loss of Steve. Can't imagine the massive hole in the hearts of his wife and two kids. What a terrible loss for them, as well as the whole world. He is so missed.
I'll never forget where I was when I heard of Steve's passing. I"m from Scotland and I emigrated to Brisbane in 2006. I was in a pharmacy and heard the news broadcast on the radio. I was gobsmacked! My heart goes out to Terri, Bindi and Bob. R.I.P Steve Irwin.
it was early morning here in the u.s. and I had fallen asleep with the tv on.. the announcement of his death on an early morning news program woke me out of a dead sleep. my eyes opened and I just layed there hearing the words, then came the tears.. what a man he was, I'm just so glad the world hasn't forgotten him.. ::love you Steve
What a beautiful human being. True to himself and the world around him. Not afraid to show affection and not afraid to tackle a croc. I'll never forget the day I received a phone call at work telling me he had died. I cried in the kindergarten storeroom for a while. I taught the class about Steve Irwin that day and now I have my own children I teach them about him. He will never be forgotten and his love and connection with animals is inspirational. I'm sure his parents nurtured this part in him. People who speak badly about this man just don't understand or aren't in tune with what really matters. My eyes often well up when we watch his adventures. Crikey, what a little rippa.
I remember watching this show/episode when I was about seven. It was always my favorite to rewatch. Steve was my superhero as a kid. Seeing Bindi on dwts tonight made me all emotional lol. So many feels.
God, I miss that man SO MUCH! I remember when he passed away: I was getting ready for work and then I happened to turn on the news. No one will ever forget Steve Irwin❤❤❤
Steve’s face!!!!! I went specifically looking for this part cause my Brother had all the Croc Hunter DVD’s growing up (we live 45mins from Australia Zoo) & still over a decade later, even long before Steve passed, I never forgot Steve’s face when Bindi was born & how supportive he was up there on the bed too during labour, it’s always stuck with me so had to go looking for this today. It’s still as beautiful as I remember, he’s such an incredible human being & I feel blessed to have been able to of seen some of his shows & be present during his memorial service (which BTW, the footage doesn’t do justice, that service was beautiful & gut wrenching, it’s hard to describe the power in the emotion that day, I’ve never forgotten that either). Bless his soul!!! 💜💜💜
Every time I watch these episodes, they bring tears to my eyes. It's so wonderful to see how much love and excitement he had, not only for his passion for wildlife but also for his family. The love he had for his wife and kids was so intense. I miss him so much.
Thinking about this today as Bindi gave birth to her baby daughter yesterday & announced it this morning. This family deserves nothing short of everything ♥️
I agree. this is a lovely man! what a wonderful family. I so regret his loss of not seeing this child grow up and his family's loss. why does the world loose people like steve? he is just like a little kid, sharing joy and enthusiasm with everyone. he'll be greatly missed. RIP
It makes me wonder if Robert has any actual memories of his dad. I have memories going back to just a year old, but that's extremely rare. And most of my memories prior to the age Robert was when his dad died are of major events, such as the birth of my sister. Robert had just day to day memories at that point so I do wonder if any stuck. At least his dad was always being filmed! Must be nice to have that, especially when he died before you were old enough to really make a lot of memories yourself.
@@michellebaker6302 I seem to remember reading a magazine interview where Robert said he had a few faint memories of his dad - impressions, really, rather than clear memories - but that he had grown up watching videos of his dad, and that the zoo contained so much of his dad's heart and soul that it was like he was still there. So he felt like he'd grown up knowing him even though Steve died when he was only three.
This is the perfect example of how a husband should love,and support his wife during the birth experience. You can see the love Steve had for Bindi from the first moment they met. So beautiful!
0:24 And with that Our Star Bindi Irwin is born. Bindi is the best this is the day it all began and she would grow up to be the best zoo vet in the world.
When my boyfriend cut my baby cord lol he said it was tough like chicken. 😂 I don’t think birth is a beautiful thing because it’s painful and messy the best part is when the birthing part over and you have your baby in your arms. I wish I could relive that moment when the doctor put my son on my chest. 😭
That’s why it’s so beautiful because it’s painful messy challenging yet when we look back our hearts sing reliving the moment at the end when we have them in our arms
I agree. Anyone who says birth is beautiful has rocks in their head. It's hours of agony followed by pooping a basketball 🤣 but when the baby is put into your arms you feel like you would do it all again
He does get that we are essentially the worst kind of animal not dissimilar to the main ones Steve studied and he always understood that this man should been given a Nobel peace prize no doubt fair dinkum lol I'm British Big fan of the whole family look at how they have blossomed it's so beautiful and sad but real with a strong legacy. God bless the irwins and r.i.p Steven Robert irwin
