I've probably saved thousands of peoples' lives with my educational message on snake bites, how to get in around venomous anything.

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

But I put my life on the line to save animals.

My dad taught me from my youngest childhood memories through these connections with Aboriginal and tribal people that you must always protect people's sacred status, regardless of the pest.

So fear helps me from making mistakes, but I make lot of mistakes.

Herein lies our problem. If we level that much land to grow rice and whatever, then no other animal could live there except for some insect pest species. Which is very unfortunate.

There's a lot of research behind the scenes that you don't get to see, but I have an instinct that my dad nurtured from when I was born. I was very lucky then.

Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.

You know, you can touch a stick of dynamite, but if you touch a venomous snake it'll turn around and bite you and kill you so fast it's not even funny.

Take the crocodile, for example, my favorite animal. There are 23 species. Seventeen of those species are rare or endangered. They're on the way out, no matter what anyone does or says, you know.

Born a wildlife warrior, die a wildlife warrior.

Because when they strike it can be that quick that if they're within range, you're dead, you're dead in your tracks. And his head weighs more than my body so it's WHACK!

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.

Statistically there's only one crocodile-related human fatality per year in the whole of Australia.

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.

I was born and raised with crocodiles; they are a piece of cake. But kids are so ... unpredictable.

My belief is that what comes across on the television is a capture of my enthusiasm and my passion for wildlife.

We've evolved from sitting back on our tripods and shooting wildlife films like they have been shot historically, which doesn't work for us.

No, snakes are no problem. I'd go to any country, anywhere, any snakes, not a problem.
