Viral Video: When it comes to Australia, the world is no stranger to its wild side. From breathtaking landscapes to its unpredictable wildlife encounters, the country often delivers moments that leave the internet either in awe or disbelief. But just when people thought they had seen it all, a bizarre video surfaced, proving that Australia’s fearless reputation knows no bounds.

A video making rounds on social media shows a group of children in Queensland’s Woorabinda engaging in what appears to be an ordinary game of skipping. However, instead of a rope, the kids are seen swinging a dead python snake, laughing and playing as if it were just another backyard toy. The scene, both unusual and unsettling, quickly sparked debate online.

While some found humour in what they dubbed 'the most Australian thing ever,' others were shocked, questioning the risks and ethical concerns of such behaviour. According to reports, the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science, and Innovation is looking into the matter.

A viral video uploaded by the user ‘clowndownunder’ on X (formerly Twitter) has sparked widespread attention. Captioned, "Australian Aboriginal children use dead python as a skipping rope in Woorabinda, Queensland," the clip has already amassed 12K views within just a few hours, leaving social media users divided in their reactions.

Social media users wasted no time reacting to the viral video, sparking a heated debate. One user wrote, "That's the most Australian thing I've seen in a while." Another, however, criticised the act, writing, "Protected species under Nature Conservation Act (1992). But nothing will happen to these shits." A third user sarcastically added, "They have so much respect for animals and land. Give them another 1b a year of our taxes."

While some criticised the act, others defended it as harmless fun. "Good on them. Having a bit of bush kids fun. I too have skipped with a snake when I was a kid living in the outback. Snake was already dead, no one got hurt," one user shared. Another added, "So what? That's something I'd totally do with my Polish mates if we found dead pythons growing up. You must have had a very sad childhood, mate."
