The Australia Zoo founder and father of late wildlife warrior Steve Irwin has spent the last 15 years living a quiet and secluded life away from the public eye.
Daily Mail Australia can exclusively reveal in the more than two years since leaving the zoo, Wes Mannion , 52, has married younger girlfriend Dominique Franks, 30, and started a new career.
Wes Mannion was once a integral part of Australia Zoo and an honorary member of the Irwin family. But around two years ago, he suddenly became notably absent from the zoo s projects and photos.
