I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.
I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
I believe our biggest issue is the same biggest issue that the whole world is facing, and that's habitat destruction.
Crikey means gee whiz, wow!
You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it'll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it's not even funny.
Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know.
Yeah, I'm a thrill seeker, but crikey, education's the most important thing.
My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status, regardless of the past.
Yeah, for some reason parrots have to bite me. That's their job. I don't know why that is. They've nearly torn my nose off. I've had some really bad parrot bites.
Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart.
So fear helps me from making mistakes, but I make lot of mistakes.
When I talk to the camera, mate, it's not like I'm talking to the camera, I'm talking to you because I want to whip you around and plunk you right there with me.
Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.
I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.
I bled a lot. I got hit across the face. We couldn't film for seven days. I got hit, whacked, underwater, across the face. I finished the shot, got into the boat and blood started coming out.
My field is with apex predators, hence your crocodiles, your snakes, your spiders.
I am optimistic globally. So many scientists are working frantically on the reparation of our planet.
So now what happens is the cameras follow me around and capture exactly what I've been doing since I was a boy. Only now we have a team of, you know, like 73 of us, and it's gone beyond that.
Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate.
Yeah, I think it's an absolute disaster that Australia, the government, allowed kangaroo culling.
