YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Wild video shows the 12-year-old niece of a popular Australian radio host grabbing a massive snake and swinging it around “like a hammer thrower” to rescue her pet guinea pig from its jaws.

Brisbane radio host Kip Wightman shared the footage to Instagram of his niece, Rosie, jumping into action after an 8-foot-long python attacked her beloved pet MaxiBon in the family’s backyard in Eumundi, Queensland.

The girl is seen looking through shrubs to look for her missing pet — then suddenly spotting it in the snake’s jaw.

Rosie then frantically grabs the slithery predator by the tail and begins swinging it around like she was an Olympic hammer thrower, with MaxiBon still in the snake’s mouth.

Rosie was swinging it “like a hammer thrower and screaming at the top of her lungs,” said her dad, Luke Wightman.
