Crocodiles

The work he was known for and the work he did before anyone was watching. Through the late 1970s and 1980s he volunteered for the Queensland East Coast Crocodile Management Program, catching and relocating more than a hundred problem crocodiles that would otherwise have been shot. That was his own unpaid work and not, as it is often told, a government contract shared with his father. Later the demonstrations, the Crocoseum shows, the field research, and the named animals. Robert does this work on camera now, so the segment runs to the present.

Part of Steve Irwin

122 moments in this segment.

  1. - Steve’s Wildest Croc Encounters | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Measuring, handling and releasing saltwater crocodiles was work Steve had been doing long before a camera followed him. He volunteered for the Queensland East Coast Crocodile Management Program in the late 1970s and 1980s, taking more than 100 problem crocodiles out of populated river systems so they would not be shot.
  2. - Heart-Pounding Close Call: Steve Irwin vs Massive Crocodile | Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. The capture technique on screen is the same one he learned removing problem animals for the Queensland East Coast Crocodile Management Program. Much of what looked like wrestling was capture-and-release research method, and the tracking programme it fed has since produced peer-reviewed results.
  3. - Steve Irwin's Big Croc Diaries at Australia Zoo | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Many of the crocodiles at Beerwah arrived because Steve had removed them from rivers and beaches where they were in danger of being shot. Some were released into remote habitat, others came into the park, which was renamed Australia Zoo in 1998.
  4. - Steve Relocates His Feistiest Crocodiles | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Relocating crocodiles inside the park was a scaled-down version of the fieldwork that made his name. The property has grown from the two acres Bob and Lyn Irwin opened at Beerwah in June 1970 to roughly 700 acres today, about 110 of them open to visitors.
  5. - Steve's Favorite Crocs! | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Terri Raines was a working naturalist running a cougar rescue in Oregon when she watched Steve do a crocodile demonstration at the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park on 6 October 1991. She co-hosted the series throughout and now owns Australia Zoo.
  6. - Steve Irwin Meets Herd of Wild Hippos! | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Nile crocodiles on the Luangwa in Zambia took the series well outside Queensland. The crocodile work at home fed a long-term research programme: since 2007 the University of Queensland and Wildlife Warriors have tracked 296 crocodiles on the Wenlock River.
  7. - Steve Relives His Dangerous Moments! | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Terri co-hosted The Crocodile Hunter from the first episode, which came out of the crocodile-trapping trip they took instead of a honeymoon in 1992. John Stainton filmed it, and it became the series opener.
  8. - Steve Irwin’s Adventures in America | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. American audiences met the series in 1997, a year after its Australian debut, through Animal Planet and Discovery. The North American broadcast is what turned a Queensland reptile park into an international destination.
  9. - Steve Irwin Explores Isolated Fraser Island | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Fraser Island sits off the Queensland coast north of Beerwah, close to the country the family knew best. The Irwins moved north from Victoria in 1970 and opened the Beerwah Reptile Park on 3 June that year.
  10. - Steve and Terri CAPTURE A Freshwater Croc! | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Australian freshwater crocodiles are a different animal from the saltwater crocodiles Steve relocated for the Queensland government. Both live at the zoo, and Robert Irwin now presents the freshwater and alligator feeds on camera.
  11. - Steve Shows How to Catch A Crocodile | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Trapping, netting and lassoing were the working methods of the East Coast Crocodile Management Program, not television inventions. Steve caught more than 100 crocodiles this way as a volunteer before any of it was filmed.
  12. - Steve Encounters Wild Boars and Large Lizards | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Cape York is where the conservation story would later land: the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve, about 330,000 acres of former cattle station on the peninsula's western side, was bought by the Australian Government in 2007 as a memorial to him.
  13. - Steve's Dream: The Crocoseum | Irwin Family Adventures. The Crocoseum was Steve's own design, a 5,500-seat arena built around a crocodile lagoon and described by the zoo as the largest wildlife stadium in the world. It is also where his public memorial was held.
  14. - Steve Catches Rodents On The Farm | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Mouse plagues in the Australian grain belt are a real and recurring event, and the series covered ordinary Australian wildlife as often as it covered crocodiles. The Crocodile Hunter ran to 78 episodes.
  15. - Steve Irwin Confronts a GIANT Komodo Dragon | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Komodo dragons took the series to Indonesia. The Crocodile Hunter reached more than 100 countries at its peak, though the frequently quoted 500 million viewers is a distribution reach figure rather than a measured audience.
  16. - Steve Irwin's Unbelievable Encounter with Nile Crocodiles | Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Nile crocodiles are the African counterpart to the saltwater crocodiles Steve worked with at home. The approach on camera is the capture technique he developed relocating problem animals in Queensland rather than a stunt built for television.
  17. - Steve Irwin Swam with American Alligators in the Everglades | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Bindi Irwin was born on 24 July 1998, the same year the park was renamed Australia Zoo, and she travelled with her parents on shoots from infancy. American alligators are a separate species from the crocodiles the family works with in Queensland.
  18. - Love Is In The Air For Crocodiles Acco & Cassie | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Acco and Cassie are two of the best known crocodiles in the collection. Terri Irwin has run Australia Zoo since 2006 and took Australian citizenship; she was a working naturalist before she ever met Steve.
  19. - Crocodile made famous by Steve Irwin at centre of dispute | 9 News Australia. Wild crocodile management in Queensland is a live public argument, and Bob Irwin has been one of its more outspoken voices since stepping away from Australia Zoo to run his own foundation.
  20. - Steve Irwin Gets Cozy with Cuddly Creatures | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. The series covered far more than crocodiles, from big cats to orangutans, across 78 episodes between 1996 and 2007. Steve's colleagues have consistently said the on-camera enthusiasm was not a character.
  21. - Steve Vs. The Craziest Crocs He's Ever Encountered | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Crocodilian work is the densest single body of footage in his career, and it started as unpaid government volunteering rather than as television. More than 100 crocodiles were caught before the cameras arrived.
  22. - SEASON 1 DEADLIEST Creatures | Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. The Crocodile Hunter debuted on Australian television in 1996 and reached North America the following year through Animal Planet and Discovery. Terri co-hosted from the first episode.
  23. - Steve Irwin’s Encounters with Sea Creatures | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Marine work was a constant thread through the series, from whale sharks to sea turtles. Steve was a serious diver and much of the ocean material sits alongside the crocodile fieldwork rather than apart from it.
  24. - Steve's Favorite Creatures of SEASON 6 | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. By its sixth season the series was travelling worldwide, though the crocodile work in northern Queensland remained its spine. The Crocodile Hunter ran to 78 episodes.
  25. - Steve Irwin's Adventures in the Outback | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Outback material gave the series its range: crocodiles, snakes, malas and skinks in the same programme. The park at Beerwah had opened as a reptile park in 1970 and reptiles stayed at the centre of the work.
  26. - Steve's Favorite Creatures of SEASON 5 | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Season five ranged from spiders and lions to the crocodile diaries filmed at the zoo. The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, a separate behind-the-scenes series, ran to 96 episodes between 2002 and 2006 and is the largest single body of episodes.
  27. - SEASON 2 Steve's Favorite Creatures | The Crocodile Hunter | Animal Planet. Season two mixed mouse plagues, crocodile traps and sharks. The trapping and mud-wrestling sequences show the working relocation method Steve used as a Queensland government volunteer.
  28. - Steve Irwin Rescues Abused & Scared Crocodile | Crocodile Hunters: The Best Of Steve Irwin. Crocodile work in Timor-Leste took the method abroad. Removing an animal to safety rather than destroying it was the whole point of the East Coast Crocodile Management Program he volunteered for at home.
  29. - Steve Irwin's Biggest Crocodile Battles (Wildlife Documentary) | Real Wild. Catching a problem crocodile and releasing it away from people is exactly the work Steve did as a volunteer in the late 1970s and 1980s, more than 100 animals in all, before any of it was televised.
  30. - Steve Irwin Catches A Crocodile In Epic Battle. Relocating a large male crocodile out of a populated river is the original job. Steve did it for the Queensland East Coast Crocodile Management Program, and it is where the entire Crocodile Hunter method came from.
  31. - Steve Irwin Relocates Australia Zoo's Crocodiles | Crocodile Hunters: The Best Of Steve Irwin. Relocating the park's crocodiles required inventing a safer method, and Steve's team tested it on the animals they knew best. The property was renamed Australia Zoo in 1998, seven years after he took it over from his parents in 1991.
  32. - Steve Irwin Introduces Conan To A Crocodile | Late Night with Conan O’Brien. American talk shows were where the persona reached its largest audience, and he brought live animals to nearly all of them. The Crocodile Hunter had reached North America through Animal Planet the year before.
  33. - The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course (2/10) Movie CLIP - Crocodile Hunting at Night (2002) HD. Released in 2002 and directed by John Stainton, this was Steve's only starring feature. It is often described as a flop and was not: roughly 12 million US dollars in budget against roughly 33 million in gross.
  34. - Steve Irwin Faces A Massive Saltwater Crocodile In Australia | Crocs Down Under | Real Wild. Saltwater crocodiles grow to six metres and a tonne, which is why the relocation work was dangerous and why it mattered. Steve took more than 100 of them out of populated Queensland waterways as a government volunteer.
  35. - Steve Irwin Meets The World's Most Venomous Snakes | Real Wild. Australia holds most of the world's most venomous snakes, and reptiles are where the family story starts: Bob Irwin was a plumber and amateur herpetologist, and Beerwah opened in 1970 as a reptile park.
  36. - Starstruck by the world's oldest living crocodile | Killer Crocs with Steve Backshall. Crocodile documentary work continued long after him and the animals he made famous are still filmed. Saltwater crocodiles are among the longest-lived reptiles in captivity, which is why the individuals at Australia Zoo have decades-long records.
  37. - Terri Irwin, The Croc Hunter's Wife. Steve Irwin hand feeding a crocodile at the Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, 1997.

  105. - Robert Irwin's Croc Profiles - Scrappa | Australia Zoo Life. Scrappa is one of the saltwater crocodiles who appear in the daily Crocoseum show. Australia Zoo holds over 1,200 animals and says it employs more than 500 staff, figures that come from the zoo itself.

  107. - Crazy Scrappa Chases Robert Around The Crocoseum | Australia Zoo. Scrappa is one of the more assertive crocodiles in the Crocoseum rotation. The show is run by a team on foot around a lagoon, using the same reading of crocodile behaviour that the relocation work depended on.
  108. - Robert Irwin's First Crocodile Feeding | Crikey! It's The Irwins. Stepping into the Crocoseum to run a feed is a milestone the family had been building towards for years. Robert Irwin is now on the zoo's management team and a board director of Wildlife Warriors.

  112. - Epic Croc Action… x3!. Keeper cameras and a drone give a view of the croc feeds that the daily Crocoseum audience never gets. The 5,500-seat arena with its central lagoon was designed by Steve himself.
  113. - Robert Irwin Almost Dislocates Arm | Australia Zoo. Bluey is one of the growing saltwater crocodiles at Australia Zoo. The head shake is how a crocodile tears food, and handlers work to it rather than against it, which is the reading of behaviour the relocation years taught.
  114. - Nostalgic Crocodile Action with Robert Irwin. The triple ponds carried the daily crocodile feeds while the Crocoseum was being renovated. Steve designed the Crocoseum, and it remains the most narratively loaded structure on the property.
  115. - Robert Irwin Relocates Alligators. Moving large crocodilians safely is the practical core of the work Steve did for the Queensland East Coast Crocodile Management Program, where the point was always to relocate an animal rather than let it be shot.
