In 1991, years before his tragic passing, Steve Irwin was bitten on the neck by a snake #trending

In 1991, years before his tragic passing, Steve Irwin was bitten on the neck by a snake while filming for television — and he famously kept the cameras rolling! 🐍😯 The culprit was a non-venomous python that struck during an educational segment. Instead of panicking, Irwin calmly reassured viewers, saying, “She’s just defending herself,” and used the moment to explain the snake’s behavior. Moments like that — where he showed empathy and respect even in danger — defined Irwin’s legacy as “The Crocodile Hunter,” a man whose courage was matched only by his compassion for wildlife. #history #wildlife #cinema #sad #trending
