Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin, who died last year when a stingray's barb struck him the chest, is having a wildlife reserve in Outback Australia named after him.

Some of the animals on the reserve include quolls, a nocturnal, carnivorous marsupial; and speartooth sharks, river sharks that resemble the oceanic bull sharks (the Wenlock and Ducie rivers border the reserve). There's also a "gallery of dry vine forests," but vines don't chomp into the heads of rats and possums like quolls do, so they're not nearly as cool. Then again, maybe vines in Australia are man-eaters like Audrey II in Little Shop of Horrors. That alone could convince me to fly to Australia and check it out.

Irwin's family will manage the 333,585 acre reserve. His wife Terri and daughter Bindi have continued his conservation efforts in the wake of his tragic death. Bindi can currently be seen on Bindi: The Jungle Girl on Discovery Kids.

Starting this year, you'll be able to catch some of your favorite Discovery series online (including all the channels under the Discovery Communications umbrella) before they hit the TV airwaves.

Discovery iPremieres will launch in the third quarter of this year, two per week. The premieres will include both new and existing shows, including: Man Vs. Wild, American Chopper, What Not to Wear, Bindi: The Jungle Girl and Dirty Jobs. The premieres featured each week will change based on the top-performing shows. The online episodes will also include extra behind-the-scenes clips.
