That was sad news about Steve Irwin.
I remember visiting the Australia Zoo in Queensland years ago, he's quite a

And the way he bought it sent shivers down my spine: over many years of
visiting Bahaman and Caribbean islands, I can't even count how many times I've
snorkeled over the top of stingrays with only a foot or so of clearance
between my chest and the ray. Some times you just don't see them mudded down
until you're virtually on top of them...
