Totally Insane and Dangerous Wild Animal Encounters

Steve and the Stingray

Unfortunately for one celebrity animal lover, the sting landed right on his heart, and ending his life. Steve Irwin was doing some routine shooting when an aggitated stingray reacted and just so happened to directly hit Steve in the heart.
