In this episode of CrikeyCast, we revisit “Sleeping with Crocs,” a classic episode of The Crocodile Hunter.

Your hosts Maddie and Erich dive into Steve and Terri Irwin’s early days at the Queensland Wildlife Park, before the fame of Australia Zoo. From wrestling alligators and moving crocodiles to feeding cassowaries and fixing up a wounded albino shingleback lizard, this one’s packed with wild moments.

We also get a mini bio on Terri Irwin, touching on her roots, her work with wildlife before meeting Steve, and how their love story unfolded. If you’re into behind-the-scenes animal care, 90s mullets, or kangaroo cuddles, you’re in the right place.
