I hope that one month old learned something from his lesson. Stay away from DAD!
Actually Steve Irwin seems like a good guy, and I'm sure he did have as close to complete control as you can get but it just doesn't look good to have a baby out there while you are feeding a hungry croc.
It's one thing to do a show and let people think you are putting your own life in danger. It's another thing to bring the kids into the act. He didn't have very good judgement bringing the baby out there.
Tonight on the news they had a quote from Terri, the wife. She said something to the affect--"It was a great sensory experience for him. He really dug it!"
If that had been my baby I would have gone nuts. Of course, I probably wouldn't be married to a Croc Hunter in the first place. The guy named his daughter, Bindy, after a croc for goodness sake!
