A Close-Up, Personal Look at 'Crocodile Hunter's' Life
In an ABC News exclusive, Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin's widow, Terri, speaks for the first time to Barbara Walters since his tragic death on Sept. 4.
Watch This One-Hour "20/20" Exclusive, Wednesday Night at 10
Irwin, 44, was a popular Australian television personality.
He was swimming over a large stingray off Australia's northeast coast when the ray lashed out and the serrated barb from its tail pierced his heart.
Walters sits down with Terri, Irwin's American-born wife, and their two children, Bindi Sue, 8, and Bob, 2.
Irwin says she's getting through his death, "One minute at a time sometimes an hour at a time with great faith, great determination."
Ironically, Terri, a native of Eugene, Ore., met her husband at Irwin's Australia Zoo, while vacationing in Australia in 1991.
Terri sometimes called the "Crocodile Huntress" co-starred on her husband's TV show and in his 2002 movie, "The Crocodile Hunter Collision Course."
Walters also speaks to Irwin's longtime business partner and friend, John Stainton, who was with Irwin on the day of his death.
They were shooting a segment for a series called "Ocean's Deadliest" when Irwin was killed.
The wildlife enthusiast's show "Crocodile Hunter" was broadcast internationally by the Discovery network.
The "Crocodile Hunter" documentaries were seen by 200 million people around the world.

I didn't pick up the Enquirer when I was at the grocery store today - I refuse to read that trash - but it did have a picture of a man in khakis and goggles swimming over a stringray. I can't remember the caption.
I think it's just awful that even a re-enacted picture is available.

(Yes we here in Australia get to see the interview first at 8.30pm tomorrow night, whereas when you guys get to see the American one it will be Thursday afternoon here.. but why the heck do they have to claim a world first?)
Bindi takes a break
LIKE a lioness protecting her cub, Terri Irwin has shielded her daughter Bindi from speaking on television about her dad, Steve.
The courageous eight-year-old broke hearts with her moving tribute to the Crocodile Hunter at his memorial service last week. But her mother felt Bindi had been through enough and chose to do interviews with Ray Martin and US celebrity interviewer Barbara Walters on her own.
A spokesman for Channel 9 denied Bindi broke down in tears before the Saturday interviews and became too distressed to go on camera.
"Bindi didn't speak to either Ray or Barbara. It was Terri's wish that she not take part and of course channel Nine and the (American) ABC respected that," the spokesman said.
In the Nine interview, Terri tells of the telephone call she had always dreaded.
It came from close family friend John Stainton, Steve's manager.
"He said there's been an accident with Steve," Terri says, before repeating over and over in a shaking voice: "Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it . . . but he said it."
Walters interviewed Terri first at the Irwins' Australia Zoo, but Nine can claim a world exclusive because its interview goes to air first: at 8.30pm tomorrow.

Irwin 'watching over' Terri
TERRI Irwin believes her famous husband is watching over her.
Barbara Walters, the veteran American newswoman who flew to Queensland to interview Steve Irwin's widow, said Terri spoke about her continuing bond with her husband.
"You almost have the feeling that she is channelling him," Walters said today.
"She feels he is there."
In the interview, to be broadcast as a special primetime one hour TV news event to millions of Americans this week, Terri told how she was coping with the painful loss of her husband.
"One minute at a time," Terri told Walters in the interview.
"Sometimes an hour at a time with great faith, great determination."
The interview took place at the Irwins' Australia Zoo at Beerwah on Queensland's Sunshine Coast on the weekend.
Footage shows Terri walking with Walters through the animal park with elephants wandering in the background.
"They live at the zoo," Walters told her audience on her US TV talkshow, The View, today.
"There are animals everywhere you look.
"They're not behind bars ... you look up in a tree and there is a koala. You look somewhere else and there's a snake."
Walters described the experience - which included two 22-hour flights between New York and Brisbane in three days - as "a very special trip for me".
"I did this wonderful interview with this amazing, touching, funny, marvellous woman," Walters said.
Terri only granted two interviews - the Walters interview for America's ABC TV network and Channel 9 in Australia.
The Irwin's children, Bindi, 8, and Bob, 2, did not take part.
While Walters and ABC are touting their interview as an exclusive, Australia's Nine will be the first to broadcast.
Both interviews will air Wednesday night in their respective countries, but due to the time zone differences between the US and Australia, Nine's interview conducted by Ray Martin will be be seen first.
Nine's interview will begin at 8.30pm AEST, while Americans will see Walters' interview with Terri 15 hours later.

Steve Irwin gives us something bigger
I've been living on the Sunshine Coast for two years, and I've never been to Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo, even though its just down the road. My wife and I have spoken about it and thought it would be nice when our daughter is maybe just a little older. I am here in my home office listening to the radio broadcast of Steve Irwin's memorial. I have been amazed by the public response, but then again, there's something very understandable about that, and the death of the Crocodile Hunter is only part of the story.
I can understand his family and friends, colleagues and supporters grieving over Irwin's untimely death. When anyone dies, there's always a vacuum left behind in the lives of those who remain that he or she has touched. But, when it was announced there would be a memorial for Irwin, thousands camped outside Australia Zoo in the hope of getting tickets. Many of them were children. There is something going on here.
Let's leave the Sunshine Coast for a moment and go to Lebanon. We've seen pictures and heard of the horrors of a war that need never have been, lives destroyed that had no reason to be. Move to Darfur in western Sudan where innocent families are awaiting genocide as the military forces arraigned against them gather. Look at the children and their parents shivering at the entrance to Australia Zoo waiting for tickets and make the connection.
The point is that when people like Steve Irwin die unexpectedly, those who knew of him are shocked into grieving. And the shock is that great that the grieving rages like a bushfire and comes to incorporate a kind of global sorrow. For all those in Lebanon, Darfur, North Korea, for all that suffering in the world out there, those of us who are touched by Steve Irwin's death cannot escape their pain.
If nothing else Steve Irwin has become a symbol of global suffering. For all those kids who lose their dads, for all those wives who lose their men, for all those parents, friends, hero lovers and anyone with any modicum of humanity, Steve Irwin's death has become a pointer, a signpost, a tearing band-aid across the skin of the soul, without warning and without logic.
The truth is that Steve Irwin was a goose. He was also a great man. Much like many of us in our own way. He was a bloke, a human being who did some dopey things, who offended people, but who lived through his heart, loved his family and did what he thought was right. He was a devoted family man who feared leaving his kids without a dad. All dads can relate to that.
Ultimately, you can't knock that.
This is where all our pain as human beings in a confusing and frightening world comes out, because we are rarely permitted the chance of feeling our own fears, acknowledging our own anguish.
Now we can gather and feel a collective feeling, tap into a community sorrow and through that feel ourselves as humans. Through that we can find ways to appreciate the joys of life: love even more those who share our lives; attempt to comprehend the savage unfairness of it all; the sadness that runs through us all like a weave in a cloth; and understand perhaps much of what makes us who we are and how we can become better people - not in the image of someone else like Steve Irwin perhaps, but through the energy he created and through the legacy he left in our community and in our lives.
Steve Irwin may well have been a great conservationist, a savvy businessman, a beaut dad and husband. I must admit I don't know enough about him to judge. Anyway, history will put all that into perspective. But, on this day his passing has given me a greater sense of life, a greater love for my family, a recognition that our world is actually smaller and simpler than I sometimes admit, and the chance to be part of a community emotion which we so rarely have the opportunity to be part of.

Terri Irwin still mourning Steve
26th September 2006, 16:04 WST
Terri Irwin says she can't shake the idea that her husband will return home from one of his adventures.
Speaking in an interview on the Nine Network, Terri tells of the bond she had with Steve, who died from a stingray barb to the chest while diving off the far north Queensland coast on September 4.
"There never has been before and never will be again another Steve Irwin," she says.
"Every day he was my prince charming."
During the interview with Ray Martin to be aired on Wednesday she relates how she was told by close family friend and manager John Stainton of the diving accident and then death of the man known as the Crocodile Hunter.
"He said there's been a diving accident with Steve - (I thought) Don't say it, don't say it, don't say it - and he said it. He said those three words. And he died," she said.
"I'm still at the stage where I think he's going to come home. And it didn't really happen."
Terri says she has found it hard to cope but considers herself lucky to have received such support and thanked the public for their "thoughts and prayers".
She says she's grateful for the support during the memorial service at the zoo last week.
"I walked into the Crocoseum and I knew people would be missing Steve but the feelings of love and support from Australians was just overwhelming.
"He (Steve) would have said 'Crikey, mate, I can't believe this'."
Millions of Irwin fans across Australia and New Zealand are expected to tune into the hour-long special at 8.30pm (AEST).
A separate American ABC special will air in the US 15 hours later.
Barbara Walters, who interviewed Terri for an American special, said she spoke of her continuing bond with her husband.
"You almost have the feeling that she is channelling him," Walters said.
"She feels he is there."
In the US interview, Terri tells how she is coping "one minute at a time - sometimes an hour at a time with great faith, great determination".
The Irwin children, Bindi, 8, and Bob, 2, did not take part in either interview.
Meanwhile, Bindi has become the youngest person ever to appear on the cover of Australia's New Idea magazine in its 104-year history, and a survey in the magazine showed 93 per cent of readers wanted Bindi to become the next "Crocodile Huntress".
Bindi stole hearts last week with her eulogy at her father's public memorial ceremony in which she said she would continue her daddy's work.
Mr Stainton said Steve had always known there would be a day where he would become his daughter's co-star as her fame eclipsed his.
Bindi's television show, which is due to screen next year, will be completed in the coming weeks.
Mr Stainton said Bindi's fame would "explode", especially in America, once her show aired.
"I just think there's a little volcano waiting inside her," he said.

Yes Nutsy, I would like to know if Terri says something Walters does not cover. I am not sure if Walters is as informed about Steve we are.
I think I'd better get the tissues ready for Wednesday night here because I get teary eyed just reading these excerpts from the interview.

Jay Leno does not do these kind of interviews. He does his show & people get their 5-10 minute spot, then on to the next guest.
Barbra Walters is a HUGE name in the news industry. She always interviews people like this for specials. There are a few big names who interview people in situations like this, and Barbara Walters is one of the big ones.
Personally I would have liked to have seen someone else interview Terri Irwin because I am not a fan of Barbara Walters. But I can see why she got the interview. When there is a big interview like this, Barbara Walters is almost always the first choice of people.

You Gave The Wings of Wilderness
the Wondrous Winds to Lift
We stopped the clock at eleven o'clock, September four two thousand and six,
As the shockwaves convoluted, we stepped back and saluted as the news dropped its pallet of bricks,
A wilderness warrior had left us he was unique in every sense of the word,
Mortally wounded in the ocean a farcical notion?... Steve Irwin Dead? Absurd!
The weather had turned for the worst on the reef, but time squandered for Steve was a waste and a thief.
His Croc One was anchored, slightly north east of the 'Port', where the reef in its glory spreads its signature story the underwater world's centre court,
It was here that his big heart stopped beating called forth from the front in his prime,
As the Maker he called 'mate' swung open the gate and calmly and quietly called "Time!"
He had a rage to live to pitch in and give to battles fought for the cause,
As the larrikin-wag launched his khaki battle flag, in conservation's wars.
Essendon born, Steve came north as a kid seemed he loved every animal in the Ark,
Loved every fang, feather and fin with his parents, Bob and Lyn, in their Reptile and Fauna Park,
He mastered the highways of the less-travelled roads, deciphering the sweet songs in wildlife's codes,
Saw fame when it came as a bit of a joke, for Steve saw himself as just an ordinary Aussie bloke.
As the Crocodile Hunter, his large life took wings lifting the veil on dangerous things,
Building in our minds their patterns of flight the mastery in their magnificence their perfection their plight,
You've left some big muddy footprints mate, and some tough ones that point uphill,
And some khaki shorts, and some shirts and boots, and by crikey they'll be hard to fill,
Steve's call to us now is to get on with the job so let's back Terri and Bindi, and his little mate Bob.
For you brought home to us the glorious worth, of the marvellous things that co-habit the earth,
Your life, though short, was a God given gift "For You Gave the Wings of Wilderness The Wondrous Winds to Lift".

Irwin's wife tells of fairytale marriage
TERRI Irwin, wiping tears from her eyes, said she would go through the pain of losing her husband again if it meant getting a second chance to be with him.
Clutching a handkerchief and her eyes red from crying, Terri spoke emotionally to US TV interviewer Barbara Walters about her fairytale marriage with Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.
"If I had to do it all over again, even knowing how it ended, I would in a minute," Terri told Walters in the interview to be broadcast in the US tomorrow night, said.
Walters, one of America's best known TV journalists, flew to Queensland last week for the interview.
Terri also sat down with Australia's Ray Martin for a separate interview to be shown on Channel 9 tonight.
In the US interview, Terri spoke about the love she has for her husband, who died earlier this month on the Great Barrier Reef when a stingray shot a barb into his heart.
The US TV network airing the interview, ABC, aired a brief portion of it today on its morning news program, Good Morning America.
"I feel I was so blessed," Terri told Walters.
"I had the best 14 years, two beautiful children, and just a romance like I didn't think existed anymore."
