Australia has one of the worst mammalian extinction rates in the world.

I think my path would have always gone back to or delivered me to wildlife. I think wildlife is just like a magnet, and it's something that I can't help.

Where I live if someone gives you a hug it's from the heart. I've had these blokes in Hollywood hug me trying to make out I'm their friend and as soon as I turn their back they take out a big bunch of knives and stab me in the back. I feel sorry for these people because they are so shallow.

The message is simple: love and conserve our wildlife.

If we save our wild places, we will ultimately save ourselves.

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

I'm a proud Australian, a very, very proud Australian.
