Austin Michael I heard him say in a number of his shows and interviews, that of course people expected a croc to kill him. Or a snake. Something in his zoo most likely. It was important to him that that not happen. He took precautions whenever possible, but he never slowed down. Gotta admire that, he was quite a caring man. And I think he would have preferred how he died to how people expected him to die. It was a kind of victory which I can see now, looking back.

Summer Dawn How is it not respect? Teaching millions of people about animals, especially those perceived as dangerous, gives a lot of safety to them through the interest and care of the people. If you think that getting handsy with an animal to teach about it and make people become interested is not “respect”, then you should know that not interacting with them whatsoever and having little exposure to the masses is what made up most of their bad reputation and caused many of them to become nearly extinct.

DID HE DIE? By foolishly grabbing a sting-ray from behind, an animal which defends itself by erecting its stinger to stab anything which attacks it from behind?
