Young Explorer Robert Irwin Stops by Manila To Promote Wild But True atThe Exploreum

Kids nowadays would either be stuck doing common things and probably would be hooked on video games or the internet. But that situation is different with the son of the legendary Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, Robert Irwin who at only 11 years old is fast becoming a chip off the old block with his fascination with animals and science.

And at his young age, he is now part of an educational show about animals called Wild But True which airs on Discovery Kids. He recently visited Manila at the Exploreum at the SM Mall of Asia for a meet and greet and even did live experiments with a participating audience. Together with his family, his mother and his sister Dindi.

In the show, the wildest naturalist in the house, Robert Irwin teams up with Isabel Yamazaki, Discovery Kids’ resident science geek with all the info at her fingertips, to reveal how science has made mankind a true student of Mother Nature. The brand new show premieres every Tuesday at 5:00 p.m., starting 2 December. Encores are every Saturday at 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m.
