The wife of the late Steve Irwin - more popularly known as the “Crocodile Hunter” – is scheduled to visit Oregon this week to announce a donation to Oregon State University for whale research.
Irwin’s widow, Terri, is expected to arrive to Oregon within the next several days to make the donation announcement. Terri is a native of Eugene.
Several members of the Irwin family are expected to sign an agreement with Oregon State’s Marine Mammal Institute on Wednesday to fund the humpback whale research projects that will gather information on the threatened marine mammal species, the Associated Press reports.
Although the donation will go directly to OSU, research teams will head to Alaska and the American Samoas to study humpback whale breeding, foraging, migration and stock identification, the AP reports.
Steve Irwin died Sept. 4, 2006, as the result of an injury to his heart from a stingray.
