HOW DID IT ALL START?

Steve the star was born after a chance encounter with his friend, a television producer
who was filming in the Park for TV. In true Steve style they took a punt and the first
documentary, "The Crocodile Hunter" was produced in 1992. The tremendous success of
this one program quickly encouraged the making of more and so over the next 3 years,
10 one hour episodes were made and on television screens all over the world. Steve has
now filmed 50 episodes of "Crocodile Hunter", 52 episodes of "Croc Files", and his next
project would be an animated series
WHAT IS THE AIM OF THE CROCODILE HUNTER SERIES?
Steve: "Our aim is to continue producing more wildlife programmes to entertain and
enlighten. We'll take the audience to some of the wildest and remotest territories in the
world. The time has come when all of us must be accountable. We don't own the planet
Earth, we belong to it. And we must share it with our wildlife. It's obvious that every
man, woman and child can contribute to the well being of our native wildlife and the
planet through simple day-to-day stuff such as recycling, chemical and pollution
awareness, and not wasting water. Terri and I eat, sleep and live for wildlife. Our love,
passion, and devotion is to educate and share with the world our magnificent - often
threatened or sometimes threatening - wildlife. Our job in this world is to bring
misunderstood and feared animals (as well as the cute and cuddlies) right into your
house, so that we can share and learn about the world's wildlife.
Terri: "Steve and I are very lucky to live and work with what we love best. Zoo life
definitely has its ups and downs but there is nothing else we'd rather be doing. It's our
goal and our passion to open everyone's hearts to love and care for wildlife for
generations to come."
