R.I.P. Dingo Dinkelman

[rualexander]

South African conservationist and Youtuber 'Dingo' Dinkelman has died after being bitten by one of his snakes over a month ago.

Been watching his interesting and informative channel for a couple of years and noticed he hadn't posted anything for a couple of months.
Turns out he'd been bitten over a month ago and has now died.

I've never heard of him but that's sad news. It seems he liked to take risks, like petting this crocodile (or is it an alligator 🤔) I saw in one of the links you provided.

There are obviously risks in this line of work. I'm Reminded of Steve Irwin, killed by a stingray attack while filming, some years back.

It's amazing that David Attenborough has made it to such a big age.
Love his shows, all the more as he was born the year before my dad, who passed over 20 years ago.
