The Crocodile Hunter was a wildlife documentary television series hosted by Steve Irwin and his wife, Terri. The show became a popular franchise due to Irwin's unconventional approach to wildlife. It spawned a number of separate projects, including the feature film The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course and two television spinoffs: Croc Files and The Crocodile Hunter Diaries.
The series was presented on Animal Planet, becoming the network's highest-rated series at the time, and was in international syndication on networks worldwide. [4] The series aired 64 episodes during five seasons, from 1997 to 2004, two years before Irwin’s death, with a pilot episode in 1996 and 13 specials into 2007.
With a nearly 11-year run, the series is the second longest-running program of any Discovery Communications network, behind MythBusters.
