Tribute to Steve Irwin, a guy who genuinely loved nature and animals.
This man was beyond real
“Crocodiles are easy. They try to kill and eat you. People are harder. Sometimes they pretend to be your friend first.” - Steve Irwin (r.i.p.)
okay but that snake bit him right in the neck and he didnt even flinch
thats how you know he’s australian….
Funny joke aside, he also knew that the snake he was handling was not venomous, it was only biting him to show it was not happy with the situation it was put in. If it was venomous, he wouldnt have had it that close to himself
“If we can teach people about wildlife, they will be touched. Share my wildlife with me. Because humans want to save things that they love.”
Part 2 is on my Dashboard or under the tag #blackgodsandgoddesses.
Edit: I know there are already black gods and goddesses in mythology native to Africa. And I’d love to explore those characters and their personalities. Like many bookworms, I loved Greek mythology when i was younger and I thought it’d be cool to cast them with black people in the roles to celebrate blackness. Plus, greek mythology has been interpreted and reinterpreted in so many many ways. And let’s face it: they’re gods. They can look however they want and baby: black is beautiful 🤷🏾♀️
The Poison Garden is a public garden full of deadly plants. When the Duchess of Northumberland took over the English garden in 1995, she wanted to fill it with something different that would interest children, who “don’t care that aspirin comes from a bark of a tree. What’s really interesting is to know how a plant kills you, and how the patient dies, and what you feel like before you die.”
