In addition to
The Crocodile Hunter series, Steve and Terri filmed 53 episodes of the Emmy Award-nominated
Croc Files,
The Crocodile Hunter Diaries, a behind-the-scenes look at Steve's daily life at Australia Zoo, and
New Breed Vets, a series highlighting the cutting-edge veterinarian science.
As testimony to their commitment to conservation and the environment, Steve and Terri purchased over 60,000 acres of wildlife-sensitive land and worked the rehabilitation and breeding of some of the world's most endangered animals. At Australia Zoo, they established a breeding program to help such endangered species as the southern cassowary, koala, giant land tortoise, Fijian crested iguana and Komodo dragon, to name just a few. The zoo, a dedicated conservation area covering over 250 acres, earned Australia's most prestigious tourism award as "Major Tourist Attraction" for 2003. Steve was recently awarded the title "2004 Queensland Australian of the Year."
