Watch This Kid Catch a Stingray with His Bare Hands and Birth Its 12 Pups

Steve Irwin, is that you?

In this video, it appears that a young Australian boy is making bigger catches than most of us could ever boast about.

According to the video description and channel, Miller Wilson is a 12-year-old explorer who frequently ventures into wildlife. According to the video, this time he managed to catch a pregnant stingray and deliver 12 pups.

Obviously, don't go out and do this on your own. As Wilson mentions, stingrays have sharp, venomous barbs that act as their only means of defense against attackers, accidental or intentional. This warning hearkens back to the famous death of wildlife personality and TV host Steve Irwin, whose chest was pierced by a stingray barb in 2006, but this could happen to anyone, especially someone who doesn't have proper training in handling marine life.

Safer and more responsible to let nature run its course, and, like this YouTube video, observe from a safe distance.
