      Ikr? He had a beef with every crocodile he could laid his hands on.
      They were on a walk with tv crew when Steve saw a crocodile. He said „that motherfucker” and before everyone knew he jumped and got the creature in chokehold until the tv crew managed to separate them. Croc barely made it out alive to his wife and kids.

        Everyone thinks Australia zoo was for the preservation of animals, when it was really Steve’s own personal fight club.

        I worked there in the 90s and the amount of times I had to physically pull him off of animals throughout the day was ridiculous, I kept telling him, Steve its a fucking emu… It isn’t trying to steal your wife mate!
