crikey mate!

Not really my hero, but it's always a shame when someone who does mean well ends up in trouble for their efforts.
 
A conservation warrior and one who really cared RIP
 
Nope, sorry chaps.

Any prat who dangles a virtual newborn, your own or anyone else's in front of a large pissed-off reptile with pointy teeth gets little sympathy from me.

Sorry for his family though.
 
So sombering...I myself have petted rays, messed with barracudas and sharks, taunted Morays...we gotta remember that these are wild animals and we are their guests.

On a side note...were his his wife and kids there? I hope not...but maybe it would be better that way.
 
I'm planning on goin to australia for a dive trip and planned to go to the zoo his family runs. I was hoping of maybe running into him. RIP a man who was sent here to care for animals above and below the water.
