Plt;bPgt;By popular demand, the 100th Who Was...? subject is Steve Irwin!Plt;/bPgt;Plt;brPgt;Plt;brPgt;Steve 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 familyP#39;s park, and instead of a honeymoon, the pair filmed a wildlife documentary that led to the creation of the well-known series Plt;iPgt;The Crocodile HunterPlt;/iPgt;. 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 lifeP#39;s work obviously still strikes a chord with kids who voted him the winner of the 100th Who Was...? title.
