Steve Irwin: The Devastating Death of ‘The Crocodile Hunter’


After chasing deadly animals around the globe, it was a freak accident with the normally calm stingray that ultimately took the life of the Australian animal advocate in 2006.

When Steve Irwin was 6 years old, he caught a common brown venomous snake. While most kids (and adults!) would shudder at the very thought of a deadly creature, it lit a spark for the young Australian. Three years later, his passion for interacting with wildlife was in full force, as he helped reign in problem crocodiles by wrestling them into a boat.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban Are Converting Their Tennessee Farm into a Wildlife Sanctuary: Following in the Footsteps of Steve and Terri Irwin


Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are known for living a quiet life outside of Hollywood in their Nashville mansion.

And now the notoriously down-to-earth couple are reportedly set to become even more anti-Tinseltown - by converting their Tennessee farm into a wildlife sanctuary.

According to the latest issue of New Idea, the twosome are keen to follow in the footsteps of Steve and Terri Irwin, and want their daughters, Faith and Sunday, to be raised around nature like Bob and Bindi were.





“It was Nicole's idea to create the wildlife sanctuary for their girls,” New Idea quotes grocer Bobby Saucier as saying, who manages a local restaurant that Keith reportedly buys sandwiches from.

He continued,” Nicole liked what the Irwins’ did for Bindi... Spending time in a down-to-earth place like this, in the country, is important to them.”
The happily married couple's 16-hectare farm sits in Leiper's Fork and is worth $3.5 million. It's located just 25km from their luxury $4.9 million dollar mansion in Nashville.

The stars currently split their time between their Nashville home, L.A. for work, and Nicole's sprawling luxury farmhouse in rural New South Wales.





New Idea reports that when in Nashville, Keith and Nicole regularly come into town and mingle with the locals, and can often be spotted getting ice cream with their kids or riding around the countryside on Keith's motorcycle.

The 48-year-old country singer's work schedule is about to become a lot less busy soon with the final season of American Idol, set to wrap up in the next couple of months - giving him more time to focus on the wildlife sanctuary.

Another celebrity couple with a home in Tennessee's Leiper's Fork is Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake, who own a $4 million dollar estate on 126.63-acres.

Timberlake is also known for his love of wildlife, and has previously visited the Irwins' Australia Zoo during his 2014 Australian tour and even donated $100,000 to the zoo back in 2007.

Back to nature: Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban are reportedly planning to turn their Tennessee farm into a sprawling wildlife sanctuary.



Following in their footsteps: According to New Idea, the Aussie couple were inspired by Steve and Terri Irwin.



"Nicole liked what the Irwins did for Bindi... Spending time in a down-to-earth place like this, in the country, is important to them," grocer Bobby Saucier told New Idea.


Livin' large! The 16-hectare farm is located just 25km from Nicole and Keith's $4.9 million dollar mansion in Nashville.


In good company: Nicole and Keith's farm is located in Leiper's Fork, where fellow wildlife enthusiast Justin Timberake also happens to own a multi-million dollar estate.
