Brady Barr bit by giant python - not happy

Had to happen eventually, I suppose. Snakes everywhere are snickering under their breath. National Geographic clip at LiveLeak.

    That is why you don’t screw around with nature or the animal kingdom. What an idiot. And what the hell was he hoping to accomplish anyways? This guy is definitely no Steve Irwin.

    No doubt, Biltmore, how annoying is this guy? Somebody pays him for that personality?

    “I’m waist-deep in backwater and I’m going in after him in the crack!” Heeeheee what a moron.

    I honestly can’t believe why the Discovery Channel would put this asshat on, and pay him as well. It’s like they’re paying some kid to poke a rattlesnake with a stick.

    He didn’t say “backwater”, Dim67, he said “bat guano”. To me, even funnier!

    How many freaking times does he have to repeat “I’ve got a really bad bite!”? This guy is bloody annoying.

    just wondering….
    do you think that the bite was really that bad?
    i mean….i’m just not sure after seeing the whole clip…..i might have to hear him say it another few hundred times to make sure.

    I wonder if he was freaking out more because he knew the risks of swimming in 3′rd world caves filled with guano enriched water? That would make me nervous.
    It could set you up for some nasty infections.

    If it was for the snake bite by itself then, omg total pansy. This guy must live a pampered life off camera.

    what a freakin’ clown. seriously, what did they expect to happen? i, too am left wondering if the bite was bad or not….

    note: i thought he said “backwater” too - but it’s definitely “bat guano”. which makes perfect sense, what with all the bats flying around. yet another reason not to be screwing around down there. no sympathy - just laughs for this loud-mouthed dork. he was annoying even before he got bit.

    lets all repeat: i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite. i got a bad bite.

    From: Me

    WHERE is the wound? I sat through him saying I’ve Got A Really Bad Bite some seven hundred and eighty one times to see flesh and tendon hanging off of bone only to be denied, much the way that Toronto Maple Leafs denied the Ottawa Senators oh those many times in the late 90’s and early 00’s.

    Bah.

    Now, I’ve seen some pythons in the past (though mostly just my vast biceps) and that one didn’t look terribly large. Still, I was bitten by a garter snake one right in the soft, fleshy bit between the thumb and the rest of the hand and I’m pretty certain I cried like a 4 year old girl. Which I was not.

    did this remind anyone else of the garbage-disposal scene in Star Wars?

    Do you think maybe he was bitten? It got him got him good -this is almost as funny as the katana accident on you tube– http://youtube.com/watch?v=z18X1jmj15w

    I think you are all idiots, for starters, it’s National Geographic not Discovery…

    I can assure you a person in this line of business does NOT live a pampered life, sure they are compensated well; but spending nine months a year doing this is not something you could do Nora…Idiot

    All of you should be bitten by a python in a cave in Indonesia. I’m sure you would give us a lot more reasons to laugh…pansies.

    I have seen video of this man catching a Cobra because it was after the same crock eggs in a cave he was going after. That’s survival at it’s best. Know what you are talking about. Everyone’s a critic.

    Oh and by the way…Apparently Steve Irwin is actually no Dr. Barr after all at least he’s still alive. God rest Steves soul.

    Dr. Barr was actually doing scientific research on how snakes survive such a hostile environment. It’s actually pretty amazing. He wasn’t just screwing with snakes just to screw with them. Sometimes this kind of work requires getting hands on with dangerous animals… comes with the territory.

    If I’d been there, I would have cut the snake up with a shovel.

    brady barr maybe knows something (not sure what) about animals. his personallity on tv so annoying that i want to smash the tv so i wont have to see or hear how stupid he sounds. this jerk isnt good enough to lick steve’s shoe. alltho im not sure if anyone can replace steve and his amazing why he was with all animals. i hope nat geo wises up and gets someone with a far better personallity the this clown.

    Barr can be a tad emotional, but I’ve grown fond of his persona — and he does indeed know his stuff. I deal with wild animals all the time, and I must say if I got the bite he did, I’d scream like a 6-year old. I think he’s charming in his own — for those who don’t, just change the channel, folks.

    there is alot more to Dr. Brady Barr than most know. He has a Ph.D. in Biology and is also the first scientist ever to capture and study all 23 species of crocs in the wild and help preserve them in their habitat. No easy achievement by any means! He has worked for Nat Geo as their resident herpetologist for over ten years with over 60 films and TV shows under his belt. He is also a member of the Endangered Species Coalition of the Council of State Governments. This all is just a small portion of his achievements too. As for the python bite. It bit him on his left leg right below his rear end. Pythons have four rows of recurved teeth on top and two on bottom. That is alot of teeth and alot of hurt no matter the size of the python. They don’t just bite and let go. Those teeth are recurved to hang on to prey and they can do alot of damage. I saw Mr. Barr’s bite and it was really bad and he had to worry about infection too because of the bat guano he was in.

    In the eyes of my son brady barr can do nothing wrong, he is his hero.

    Oh Cindy, you are Sooooooooo in love with Brady. Give me a break. It is COMMON for large constrictors to go into caves and other dark places that would APPEAR as very inhospitable environments to humans to digest meals and rest.

    I don’t care if Brady boy has 10 PhDs, anyone who goes into a cave, in bat guano filled water and grops around with his bare hand try to “find the head” got exactly what he deserved. The snake was just minding it’s own business and the idiot provoked it.

    I doubt seriously from these made for TV antics that Brady buy was doing any serious scientific research on how snakes survive in harsh environments.

    Bur some people will buy anything, especially when they are in love. So pathetic.

    you all are dumb asses he was doing scientific research and he wanted to catch a python and pythons are extremely strong if he wanted to collect any blood samples or anything from it he had to catch it and maybe he was makeing mistakes grabbing it by the tail at first but he was really wanting to catch it and was happy when he found it, everybody makes mistakes. and if you were bitten by a snake that big you probably would have screamed to. yes I admit him repeating I’ve got a bad bite was pretty anoying but when someones in that much pain they try to find something to keep there mind off of the pain weather its laughing,yelling,cursing,etc. he kept repeating I’ve got a bad bite to keep his mind off the pain and he probably wasnt concious of what he was saying at the time. its common sense. I’m really getting sick of all these bad comments critizing peoples videos. and people who leave these comments usally think there smart. if these people were truly smart they would find more constructive things to do with there time instead of critizing others. Im just posting this because I write blogs and I make money doing it. This is my job or more of practice for becomeing a better writer or blogger.
