Here i want to tell you about an interesting personality, Austin Stevens.
You might have watched him in Animal Planet in some adventurous shows like "Austin Stevens: Most Dangerous" performing some dangerous feats. He has lot of guts and doesn't fear from any animal. He has a great passion for animals, especially snakes.
Stevens was first interested with snakes when he became a teenager.He brought snakes home when he found them.His house was inhabited by many snakes.
Austin served in the South African Army during the war in Angola, during which he was called upon to identify and remove snakes from the battlefield or anywhere where they bothered his fellow troops.
After the war Austin left the army, to take up the position as curator of reptiles from the director of the Transvaal Snake Park. Over the course of six years, Austin underwent training and became a fully qualified herpetologist.
Stevens lives in Swakopmund, Namibia, sandwiched between the Atlantic Ocean and the desolate vastness of the Namib Desert.^[2] Stevens stays fit and sharp by practising martial arts, in particular, nunchaku. He claims it keeps his reflexes heightened when working with venomous snakes.
