The wildlife special Crocodile Hunter star Steve Irwin was shooting when he was killed in September is to air in the new year.

The Discovery Channel and Animal Planet TV networks will simultaneously air 'The Steve Irwin Tribute,' as well as his last TV project 'Ocean's Deadliest' in America on 21 January.

In 'Ocean's Deadliest,' Irwin is joined by oceanographer and adventurer Philippe Cousteau (grandson of the famous oceanographer Jacques Cousteau) as they explore the waters between Australia's Gold Coast and the Great Barrier Reef.



Cousteau, who was aboard Croc One with Irwin during the expedition when he was struck and killed by a stingray, narrates the 90-minute documentary.

'The Steve Irwin Tribute' is an intimate look at the life of the Crocodile Hunter as a father, friend, icon and conservationist through the eyes of those who knew him best.


His widow, Terri, along with family and friends will share personal stories about Irwin.
