Bob Irwin

Robert "Bob" Irwin (born 8 June 1939) is an Australian naturalist, animal conservationist, and a pioneering herpetologist who is also famous for his conservation and husbandry work with apex predators and reptiles. He is the father of the late Steve Irwin. He continues to campaign for wildlife and its environment through his foundation: Bob Irwin Wildlife and Conservation Foundation Inc.

Personal life

Bob Irwin was born in Melbourne, Victoria. He married Lyn, a maternity nurse who died in a single automobile accident in 2000. Together, they had three children, a daughter, Joy, son Steve (who died in 2006), and second daughter, Mandy. While Irwin made a living as a plumber, and Lyn as a maternity nurse, the family's consuming passion was rescuing and rehabilitating local wildlife. Steve Irwin, the couple's middle child, would not only come to fulfill the roles of curator and director of the Beerwah Reptile Park, but also produce and star in his highly popular educational documentary series, The Crocodile Hunter. Steve would enlarge the park to its present size of 72 acres (29 ha) and rename the park the Australia Zoo.

We're Back

by: Bobby Brown

We're here to make a change
So all can be free
A call has been made
And we're back, we're back
Oh, we're back
We're back, so start cuttin' up
'Cause ain't nothin' up
Pardon my expression
But huh, you ain't tough enough
We're back, so start cuttin' up
'Cause ain't nothin' up
Pardon my expression
But huh, you ain't tough enough
We're back, so start cuttin' up
'Cause ain't nothin' up
Pardon my expression
But huh, you ain't tough enough
We're back, so start cuttin' up
'Cause ain't nothin' up
Pardon my expression
But huh, you ain't tough enough
In fact you're timid, weak, soft, illiterate
Call yourself a magician, I'm not kickin' it
You're at the top of my list
