you can't spell reptile without R.I.P



Steve Irwin the "Crocodile Hunter" has died at the age of 44.

He was filming a show titled "Worlds most Dangerous Creatures" when he got too close to a giant Stingray, prompting the Stingray to pierce him. Normally they are very painful but not deadly however it entered just under his rib and hit his heart.

I would have always figured he would have been eaten alive by a croc.


Crikey!...

it is actually a really venomous stingray, where the venom alone can in fact kill you.

it is also one of the only stingrays that sting forwards - like a scorpion...

if it was any other stingray, he'd be fine...

sting rays are dangerous fuckers. but attacks on humans are more rare than lightning strikes and all that...

they are my favourite sea animal. all the rays. so beautiful
