By now, we're all well aware of the uncanny resemblance that Robert Irwin shares with his late father Steve. It's not just their looks, either — the pair are both passionate about animals, with Robert continuing his dad's conservation efforts and mission to teach people about the importance of the natural world.
Although Rob and Steve's footage has been shot decades apart, they both unwittingly get bitten. That's not too surprising, right? Snakes can be dangerous creatures and they should be handled with care.
But get this — Rob and Steve were both handling the same species of snake, meaning that they both — at one point in their careers — got bitten by carpet pythons.
Understandably, people took the piss in the comments and were laughing at how eerily similar Rob and Steve's situations were.
There was also praise for how calmy both Rob and Steve handled being bitten — which, once again, goes to show their passion and expertise when it comes to interacting with animals.
