Robert Irwin uploaded a video to social media that left lots of his followers in shock. The brave young man suffered an unexpected attack which he recorded and later published on social media. The video ended up going viral in just a few hours.In the video, you can see the young man, who is an avid photographer at just 16 years old, handling a python, when the animal reacted unexpectedly and attacked him.The snake went straight for the young man’s face, who fortunately managed to dodge out of the way thanks to his quick reflexes. Despite ducking the attack, however, the snake still managed to bite one of his cheeks.Robert inherited his father’s love for dangerous animals and in fact, the young man works at a zoo in Australia and often mentions his father in his many Instagram posts.
