“He was known as “The Crocodile Hunter,” but Steve Irwin wasn’t exactly hunting crocodiles… he was saving them,” Google said in a Twitter post.
Fans of Irwin took the day to celebrate and reflect on his accomplishments as an animal rights activist, performer and family man.
His children honored him with touching Instagram posts.
Bindi posted an adorable snap of them together with a koala.
The Crocodile Hunter passed away in 2006 after he was stung by a stingray.
