His father was the founder of Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park, a small conservation park where young Steve lived among crocodiles and other reptiles. His herpetologist father initiated him in the handling of crocodiles at the early age of nine. Irwin took over his parents´ park in 1991 and renamed it Australia Zoo in 1992. It was during a visit to the zoo that he met his wife Terri Raines, an American naturalist. When interviewed, they say it was love at first sight.

Steve gained popular acclaim after the release of his popular show "The Crocodile Hunter" whose first episode, released in Australia in 1996, was produced from film footage of Steve' and Terri´s honeymoon. The show came to America the following year. Steve starred in other shows related to the animals and the environment.
