Former Guns N’ Roses rocker Slash has teamed up with the late Steve Irwin’s father to launch a wildlife foundation in Australia on Wednesday.
Slash helped Bob Irwin to official unveil the Bob Irwin Wildlife Foundation at the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary in Brisbane, Australia on Wednesday.
A long time animal lover, Slash once famously owned a large collection of snakes and other reptiles.
After meeting Irwin back in 2010 at the Soundwave music festival in Australia and they bonded over their shared passion for wildlife so he was glad to help launch the new organization, which aims to educate children about animals.
Slash told reporters at the launch, “He brought some animals down to Soundwave so we got to actually meet, so I was really starstruck… Ever since I can remember from childhood I’ve liked snakes and reptiles and animals in general. But snakes in particular.”
Steve Irwin, known to most as the crocodile hunter died in 2006 after a fatal encounter with a stingray in Australia.
