Heartwarming / Crocodile Hunter

• Steve playing with a village's domesticated mongoose in "Island of Snakes". He just cannot stop cooing over the thing.
• In The Crocodile Hunter episode "Faces in the Forest", Steve has not one, but two very sweet encounters with female orangutans, a mother with a juvenile, and an expectant mother. The orangutan sanctuary staff warned Steve that the mother with the child strongly disliked people and to not even attempt approaching her. He ignored this and climbed into her tree to say hi to which the mother responded by... nestling herself next to him and showing him her very wiggly child. The pregnant orangutan let him touch her belly and feel her unborn baby moving inside. He attributed the good encounters to him being a new parent himself at the time.
