In the viral video, US Health Secretary Robert F. Which species of snakes was Kennedy Jr. seen handling? Who was present with Kennedy in the video, telling him to be careful? What is special information about ‘Southern Black Racer’ snakes?
A video of an American minister is going viral on social media, in which he is seen battling with two snakes. This minister is US Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In this 49-second video shot in Florida, Kennedy is seen handling two snakes of the ‘Southern Black Racer’ species with his bare hands. It is being told that this video has been shot in the courtyard of the Palm Beach house of famous celebrity doctor Mehmet Oz. Kennedy’s wife Cheryl Hines is also heard in the video telling him to be careful.
The video shows Kennedy holding both the snakes in his right hand. Then suddenly a snake raises its head and bites his left hand. Due to pain, he quickly pulls his hand back. Meanwhile, a woman’s voice is also heard, which says that ‘he is mad’. However, the ‘Southern Black Racer’ is a common snake found in Florida. They are known for their agility, but are not poisonous nor are they considered dangerous to humans. There is no information about when this video is from and what happened to those snakes later.
This is not the first time Kennedy has been in the news over wild animals. He himself previously admitted that he had left the carcass of a dead bear in New York’s Central Park. His recent biography also revealed that he had cut off a part of the body of a raccoon lying dead on a motorway. The US Department of Health and Human Services has not commented on this video. But, sources close to Kennedy say that despite the snake bite, he is completely healthy.
