Steve's a naturalist or something like that, an Australian with a nature
center at home. He and wife Terry, an American, do TV shows that are
frequently seen in the U.S.
He's most notable for making the Crocadile Dundee caricature seem quite tame
by comparison. Steve flings himself headlong out of trucks to tackle
kangaroos, out of boats to wrestle crocs and into caves to grab handsful of
poisonous snake - all the while reminding viewers how dangerous this is.
The most common word in the Steve and Terry vocabulary is "Gawwwjuss!", used
to describe the world's ugliest critters with the vilest tempers.
Ring a bell? If not, it's probably 'cause he shoots a Nikon. Obviously
he's been bitten, stung and whomped in the head too many times.
