One of the greatest fears many people have, without a doubt, is running into a snake head-on, or worse, being bitten by one of them. Such is the case of the following video, which was shared by Robert Irwin, son of Steve Irwin, the legendary Discovery Channel “Crocodile Hunter”, shows us the exact moment in the boa is bites him directly in the face.
In the video you can see how the young photographer, conservationist and Australian television star, just 16 years old, was hesitantly handling the python, when suddenly the snake unexpectedly attacks him by plunging right on his face. But the good news is that the incident didn’t end up severely hurting the son of the former Animal Planet star, who inherited a love for dangerous animals.
After the terrible scare, the young man who works in an Australian zoo shared the video through his Instagram account, where he payed tribute to his father, Steve Irwin, who had a similar situation a few years ago. “it brought back fun memories of a very similar situation that happened decades before in one of the original crocodile hunter documentaries,” he wrote of the video that went viral almost immediately.
The incredible event took place during the recording of the program “Crikey! It’s The Irwins.”
