What the hell am I supposed to do with this information? On the one hand, the guy was always cheerful and seemed like a fine person. On the other, he was engaged in the most absurd brand of bear-bating I could ever imagine and would most surely argue against. Picking up the world's most poisonous snakes by the tail, getting right in their faces. Oh, and crocodiles. This would make a great internet hoax because of this nonsense were it not so distasteful.

Requiescat, Steve, you crazy motherfucker.

At least he died how he lived. I think all of us would want that.

After years and years of carelessly jiggling poisonous snakes around, taunting crocodiles, and fearlessly/stupidly venturing into the lairs of some of the most dangerous animals on earth, HE GOT KILLED BY A FUCKING STINGRAY.

Family Dasyatidae, salut!

Even though he was a bit of a ham....this is fucked up. I've always appreciated his work.

Salut! This nutty animal loving guy.

He should have been around a lot longer.

His shows were really fun to watch.
Playing with snakes while explaining it could kill an elephant in a few minutes.

Not sure that fucking about with extremely dangerous animals is such a great idea when one has a young family.

This reminds me of how surprised my wife and I were when Jeff Corwin made reference to his wife during an episode of "The Jeff Corwin Experience".

We had always assumed that Jeff Corwin was gay.

yeah, exactly.
<holds a snake in the air>
"you want to bite me? sure, you want to bite me"
<looks in to the camera>
"his venom can kill a full grown man in 30 seconds. look at those teeth, what a beauty"

he was always fun to watch and it seemed like he cared about those wild animals. sad news.

RIP Steve, you crazy mofo!
