The world's animals have lost a friend and we have lost a great presenter and teacher. He was a true infotainer who dabbled with the most dangerous and wowed the world. He was like a modern day Noah, a larger-than-life personality who opened our hearts and minds. His personality and style were infectious and an inspiration to us all!
A tragic loss and one full of irony. It's easy to think that wildlife is fragile when it is we who are often more so. Clearly no-one is beyond the backlash of the wild even the barb in the tail of a 'pusycat of the ocean'!
Steve made magic connections with nature for us, allowing many to replace fear with knowledge. His legacy of work will remain as a reminder for us all to learn the many lessons from.
