MUMBAI:
The legendary Croc Hunter, Steve Irwin, with this signature khaki
shorts, has been synonymous with Animal Planet for nearly as long
as the network has been in existence. Animal Planet will honour
the wildly popular and exuberant wildlife conservationist during
"Celebrating Steve"; a special full day marathon to observe
his first death anniversary.
 Beginning
from midnight on Monday, 3 September till 23:00 hours on Tuesday,
4 September, the special programming line-up will highlight Steve's
background and personal history, from his early days at Australia
Zoo, to his worldwide fame as the Crocodile Hunter, as well as his
boundless passion for wildlife and his family. The full day programming
will feature some of the best episodes from the long-running Crocodile
Hunter series, which showcase Steve's dedication to conservation
and his exuberant approach to educating viewers about the natural
world.
"Celebrating
Steve" reveals some of the rare footage from the pilot of their
first TV show and special segments dedicated to the conservation
work that Steve and Terri did at Australia Zoo in wildlife rescues,
habitat protection, endangered species breeding programs and their
wildlife projects around the world. The programmes offer an intimate
look at the life of Steve Irwin - husband, father, friend, conservationist
and icon - through the eyes of those who knew him best. Through
iconic, edge-of-your seat Croc Hunter moments to never-before-seen
footage, this tribute recognizes, celebrates and honours Steve's
passion and enthusiasm for spreading wildlife conservation. His
tragic and untimely death shocked the world, but his legacy will
continue to thrive through the Irwin family's continuous efforts
to embrace and encourage wildlife conservation.
