At an age when kids are usually busy with toys, this daredevil boy has developed unique ability to catch snakes.

Nguyen Xuan from Quang Ninh in Vietnam was taught by his father, who is an experienced snake hunter, how to catch snakes at the age of five.

Footage shows the 7-year-old boy holding a huge snake with his bare hands after catching the reptile in the back garden of his house.

The clip was captured on November 24.
