Photos: Two Year Old Boy Lays Claim To Australia’s Youngest Wildlife Ranger

Fearless Charlie Parker looks far from rattled as he comes face-to-face with a 10kg snake and while the youngster’s legs may wobble under the weight of Pablo – a 2.5m boa constrictor, the enormous reptile holds no fears for him.

At just two-years-old, the pint-sized animal lover is already an expert snake wrangler and is laying claim to being Australia’s youngest wildlife ranger. Charlie’s dad and park owner, Greg Parker, is also an animal carer and he said the lad comes from a long line of animal lovers who own and run the Ballarat Wildlife Park in Victoria. Aside snakes, Charles is also obsessed with Lizards.

It is just amazing what this two year old is doing with such a big snake. I won’t even touch that with a pole.
