I am very sad to say but, today, one of the greatest and bravest Australians ever to live...has perished.

Steve Irwin, the famed creator of the Crocodile Hunter documentaries on Animal Planet, has passed on today after being stung by a sting-ray in the chest. He left behind a wife and two children.

May he rest in piece...

Apparently the stingray was a very large one and was mistaken during the film shooting as a manta ray, which are huge majestic creatures that we see here in Florida as diamond shaped shadows flying in and out of rivers and bays on the changing of the tides. And manta rays people can grab ahold of and take an exhilerting ride on ... so apparently they were going to film Steve riding the ray. Unfortunately, he must have spooked the sting ray to provocation!

Sea World came on the evening news yesterday and told everbone that their stingray barbs are all trimmed back on a regular basis so that people can commune with and pet the rays while swimming with them I say, quit disarming the beautiful creatures of their natural defenses and return them to Mother Ocean, their home.
