I don't know about some of you but I learned more about Australian wildlife than I ever expected by watching Irwin's TV programs. He was fun to watch and made light of himself while passing a good message about wildlife issues.
I can assure you he did things I would never dream of.....the one scene during the "Ten Most Poisonous Snakes" program where he was laying on the ground near a hole and the number one fella crawled out and licked him on the nose was a stunner and definitely not planned. The look on Irwin's face when that happened confirmed it (as probably the undie change afterwards too).
The Man lived life and died doing what he loved...he leaves a lovely family and a lot of friends behind. Seems like quite a good legacy to me.
