Steve Irwin lived in Australia, from February 22, 1962 to September 4, 2006. What he did was he showed people that nature is suppose to be wild, and not to be messed around with. Also he opened a zoo and held shows whenever he had the time. He was also a person who, when an animal was sick or dead, he would do his best to prevent other animals from having the same fate.
