Prince William Named a Croc | Entertainment and Celebrity News

0:00On September 1st, so get this, Robert Irwin, you know, Steve Irwin's son, he went and named a massive saltwater crocodile after Prince William. We're talking a 12-foot beast, and they're calling him Prince William. It's all a nod to the Prince of Wales' work with the Urshap Prize, trying to save the planet and all that. This isn't just some random naming though. This crock is actually the 301 they've tagged as part of a big research project down at the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve. Ever Irwin announced it on Instagram, calling the crock a modern-day dinosaur, and saying he was proud of this milestone. It's pretty wild to think about this giant reptile carrying royal recognition. They're going to be tracking this Prince William for the next decade, checking out what he eats, how DP dives, and how climate change messes with. His body temperature. It's all about gathering serious data for conservation. Robert Irwin is actually an ambassador for the Urshap Prize, so he's got a pretty solid connection to Prince William's environmental mission.

The Urshap Prize has been going strong since 2020, handing out cash and support to folks trying to fix environmental problems. And the royal connections don't stop there. Robert Irwin also mentioned that Prince George, Prince Assharlad and Prince Lewis, helped name a baby kangaroo at Australia Zoo. That little guy is now called C.W. Itchi, which is Welsh for cuddle. It's a whole family affair with the Irwins and the Waleses, all about conservation. Pop culture, powered by AI. This is Entertainment and Celebrity News today. I'm Corey with the story.
