Freek Vonk has another scar again. During recordings in Queensland in Australia, the TV biologist was bitten in his hand by a carpet python. He then shared the bloody photos on social media.
“Of course we already know that filming in the wilderness is not always without danger. And that it doesn’t always go well too! “, Freek introduces his story.
“I saw this three-meter-long carpet python crawling across the road here in Queensland (Australia), and with that they unfortunately run the risk of being run over by a car.”
Freek decided to lend a hand to the snake and to bring it across, but the animal put his razor-sharp teeth in his hand as a ‘thank you’. “Woops! With the python bitten in my back of the hand and with his muscular body wrapped around my arm, I went on to the other side of the road. I could not do anything else but wait for five minutes until the snake realized that I a) am not food and b) is not a threat. “

The snake then unwrapped itself and withdrew. “He looked at me for a moment, and then slowly crawled into the bushes – on the safe side of the road, that is. Snake happy, I happy. And oh well, what more or less is a scar? “
Last week, Freek paid a lot of attention to the much-discussed shark bite that he contracted three years ago.
