Art project from 2015 Camp
Dr. Brady Barr from 2015 Camp
By increasing our knowledge and understanding of these powerful creatures, Barr hopes to save both reptile and human lives. This is even more critical at a time when people are developing communities in wild habitat such as the Florida Everglades, resulting in more frequent attacks on humans.
Barr is currently the host of Dangerous Encounterson the Nat Geo Wild. True to the series title, he recently survived an attack by a 12-foot reticulated python while working in waist-deep guano inside a bat cave in Indonesia—an attack that made headlines worldwide. A frequent guest on The Tonight Show, Barr is nationally recognized for his work with reptiles and efforts to preserve them."
