There’s
nothing as scary as seeing a live snake close to you but what’s more
scary and shocking is seeing a two-old child so comfortable and happy
playing with a snake.
This is the case of a 2-year old Australian boy, Charlie Parker whose family owns a wildlife park in the country.
He is one of Australia’s youngest wildlife rangers. Although his family
said they have never exposed him to the animals, he however got along
with them naturally.
“We’re
still shocked by his natural ability with the animals. It’s quite
remarkable to watch – he has absolutely no fear of them and he doesn’t
just handle them, he also has the knowledge. ‘We’ve never purposely
exposed him to the animals – he’s just got this obsession with snakes
and lizards. It must be genetic’, his father said.
Apparently it runs in the family: Charlie’s dad, Greg owns Ballarat Wildlife Park in Victoria.
