(Who Was?)","description":"By popular demand, the 100th Who Was...? subject is Steve Irwin!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSteve Irwin did not have a typical childhood. Born in Melbourne, Australia, on February 22, 1962, he was raised on the wildlife park his parents owned. He cared for the animals and especially loved reptiles--he got a python for his sixth birthday! At nine years old, Steve was already helping his father wrestle small crocodiles. He became a crocodile trapper after graduating high school, catching the creatures before dangerous poachers could. Steve met his wife, Terri, at his family's park, and instead of a honeymoon, the pair filmed a wildlife documentary that led to the creation of the well-known series The Crocodile Hunter. Tragically, Steve was killed on September 4, 2006 while filming a documentary when a stingray attacked, piercing his heart. He was forty-four years old. However, his life's work obviously still strikes a chord with kids who voted him the winner of the 100th Who Was...? title.","brand":"penguin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46501641257014,"sku":"9780448488387","price":480.0,"currency_code":"EGP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/diamond-pub.com\/ar\/products\/who-was-steve-irwin-who-was","provider":"Diamond Pub","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
