When the East Timor conflict broke out, when they gained independence, the militia killed a lot of East Timorese people. And their sacred totem is the crocodile. They believe that their island is actually a solidified crocodile, so it has sacred status.

The first crocodile I ever caught was at nine years of age, and it was a rescue.

You know, I'm Australian, and we have got the worst sense of humor. We are cruel to each other.

I have no fear of losing my life - if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.

Every cent we earn from Crocodile Hunter goes straight back into conservation. Every single cent.

I get called an adrenaline junkie every other minute, and I'm just fine with that.

Snakes are just very instinctive to me. I've been playing with snakes since before I could walk. It doesn't matter where or what it is, from the biggest to the most venomous.
