Lions, Tigers and Crocs Oh My!” Terri Irwin is the widow of the late great Australian Animal lover and Zoo Keeper Steve Irwin, who passed away due to a fatal stingray incident to the heart, on September 4, 2006. However, the sprint of Steve Irwin still lives through his wife and children Bindi Irwin who recently got married to her long time boyfriend Chandler Powell, and her brother Robert Clarence Irwin, who still represents their rich family heritage, promoting animal safety.
Terri was born in America Oregon, USA, but through her late husband, Steve she became an Australian ambassador and part owner of Australian Zoo.

Since then, the Discovery Store has shifted their focus to more digital content online, developing a web only business model, never returning to retail brick and mortar locations.
