Irwin came by his enthusiasms honestly -- he was the son of naturalists, Bob and Lyn Irwin, and he grew up around wild animals, at Australia's Queensland Reptile and Fauna Park. By the time he was nine, his father had taught him how to jump into the water and catch crocodiles in the rivers in his native North Queensland. Long before he became involved in his TV program, he was a fixture at the family-owned Australia Zoo in Beerwah, north of Brisbane, where the father-and-son team could boast that the park's more than 150 crocodiles were either caught with their own hands or born and raised at the zoo. To his detractors, Irwin was a fool and a buffoon. "I think he's a bloody idiot; he's addicted to the attention," an Australian crocodile farm owner, Keith Cook, told Australia's Courier-M...

Twenty hours after Steve Irwin's death and Australia was still stunned, still staring at television screens looping with images of a laughing boyish face yelling "crikey! It is easy when looking at the colour and showmanship of Steve Irwin's life to overlook his extraordinary grasp and understanding of environmental and nature conservation issues," [John Howard] said. "He paid a very high tribute indeed to Steve Irwin's depth of detailed understanding of the creatures that inhabit this Earth and of the environmental challenges that we all face."
VIENNA, Austria -- The European Union foreign policy chief probed how far Iran was prepared to meet a UN Security Council demand for a uranium enrichment freeze in talks yesterday that could decide whether Tehran is punished with sanctions. The discussions between Javier Solana and Ali Larijani, Tehran's top nuclear negotiator, were meant to see if common ground could be found for negotiations between six world powers and Iran over its nuclear defiance.

Though this special's title makes added details unnecessary, the two-hour program examines the relevance of women's breasts in areas from show business and fashion to politics and medicine. The physiques that helped bring stardom to Marilyn Monroe and Jayne Mansfield are recalled, as is the advent of the Wonderbra. Joan Rivers, activist Erin Brockovich, publisher Helen Gurley Brown and actress Natasha Lyonne comment.

The Australian koala bear rivals China's Giant Panda for that rare form of captivating charm, which prompts toy makers to borrow their likeness, stuff it and sell it off to millions of besotted kids. Representative Bob Beeton said the committee would not be swayed by its status as one of the country's favourite animals. "I mean, we'd consider the koala with the same level of diligence and dedication as if it were the death adder. The koala bear is a consistent hit with the visitors, even if it's not really a bear. Rather than sharing a kinship with the grizzly, its closet living relative is the wombat, one of evolutions' oddest looking creations.
Kota, a born at the Assiniboine Park Zoo on April 5, 2003, will soon be moving from the Toronto Zoo to the Mota Zoo. Here in Winnipeg, you can still see Kota's mom, Lhassa, who was born at the Granby Zoo near Montreal in 1994. Kota's father, Dmitri, died in 2007.
