" It does seem like, in the world today, we’ve moved further and further away from wildlife. There’s that sense of whatever you’re scared of, you just want it to go away. Here in Australia Zoo, part of our ongoing plan is that re-connection. " - Terri Irwin

" I’ve grown up with an active outdoor lifestyle. Before I lived in Australia, I ran a construction company in Oregon, U.S.A. I also owned horses and would spend several weeks a year exploring Oregon’s beautiful wilderness areas on horseback. " - Terri Irwin

" I think being in a car is far more dangerous. I feel much more in control with a 16 foot croc, 3,000 pounds jaw pressure trying to have a go at me. " - Terri Irwin

" I found that Steve’s passion for wildlife and willingness to lay his life on the line so exciting. " - Terri Irwin
