Steve Irwin's fans will be able to say their final goodbyes to the wildlife extraordinaire. His widow, Terri, confirmed on Thursday night that a public memorial service will be held at her late husband's Australia Zoo next Wednesday.

The 44-year-old "Crocodile Hunter" died tragically last week, when a stingray's poisonous barb pierced his heart.

Steve Irwin's legacy will live on through his daughter. "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's eight-year-old daughter vowed on Thursday night to copy her father and swim with stingrays.

Brave Bindi even said she will film the same giant fish who killed her father when she presents her own wildlife TV show "Jungle Girl" scheduled to air in January.

It's been over a week since Steve Irwin's tragic death, but some fans have now reportedly chosen to seek revenge on the usually docile sea creature that took the conservationist's life.

Fans of the "Crocodile Hunter" have allegedly been killing stingrays in a series of revenge attacks for his death.

Just days after he died, animal rights group PETA have launched an attack on the late "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin, making insensitive remarks about the Australian's work with wild animals.

Campaigners for PETA - People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals - blasted the T.V. star - who was killed September 4, aged 44, by a stingray - about his life-long work with exotic animals.

Family and friends gathered on Sunday to say their goodbyes to the extraordinary animal lover, Steve Irwin. The "Crocodile Hunter" was buried at a private funeral service at his Australia Zoo over the weekend.

The wildlife expert - who was killed last Monday, aged 44, by a stingray - was laid to rest in a campfire service attended by friends and family who shared their favorite stories of his life.

It has been claimed that "Crocodile Hunter" Steve Irwin's attempt to save his own life by tearing the stingray barb from his own chest was probably what killed him.

Video footage of the Australian wildlife expert's last moments reveal his fatal action of pulling the ray's barbed tail from his heart, which medical experts agree increased the damage caused.
