Sad News:Steve Irwin Was Killed

[Rupert Pupkin]

I just heard some very sad news. The crocodile hunter Steve Irwin was killed by a stingray. He was swimming underwater and the stingray's barb went right into his chest. It was a freak accident. They were filming an underwater documentary for television. I feel really bad about it. I really liked Steve Irwin. He was such a colorful character. He and Paul Hogan did a great job of promoting Australia.

It's really a shame. He was a young guy. He was only 44. I will miss seeing him on television. I really enjoyed it when he would come on the late-night shows and bring different animals on the shows.

I like Jack Hanna too. He does the same thing on late-night television as Steve Irwin. They would both come on and bring all kinds of exotic animals. I believe Hanna is the director of the Columbus Zoo. Irwin was a zoo director in Australia.
