Steve Irwin, famously known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” was an Australian wildlife expert and conservationist who became internationally famous for his fearless encounters with crocodiles, snakes and other dangerous animals.
Through his television series, The Crocodile Hunter, he introduced millions of viewers to wildlife and encouraged people to understand and protect animals rather than fear them.
The quote reflects his unusual perspective on danger.
Crocodiles are predators, and their behaviour is largely driven by instinct.
They do not disguise their intentions or pretend to offer friendship.
Human relationships, however, can be much more complicated because people are capable of hiding their motives behind kindness and trust.
