A member of one of America’s most inbred families was spotted shopping for Christmas at Walmart.
A heartwarming video circulating online shows the family adding presents to a cart.
The Whitaker family, who live in Odd, West Virginia, have been an internet sensation for decades, ever since they were visited by filmmaker Mark Leiter, who runs the YouTube channel “Soft White Underbelly.”
Ryta has been giving fans a glimpse into the life of the Whitaker family by releasing several YouTube videos.
In a video uploaded on Dec. 9, he takes members of the Whittaker family to the supermarket for Christmas shopping.
He could be heard asking Ray Whittaker what he wanted for Christmas, and he appeared to be gesturing towards a stuffed animal.

Rei held the smiling stuffed animal tightly and smiled widely as she hugged it.
He then placed the bear flat in the shopping cart before continuing shopping.
betty Whittaker, who is considered the matriarch of the family, was asked if she wanted pajamas for Christmas.
Meanwhile, Larry, a member of a large family, is invited to choose clothes from the shelves to find something that fits him.
The family then joked that maybe Ray should invest in suspenders instead of a belt since he doesn’t like wearing belts.
“Timmy’s pants never fall down,” said Laita.
The family was seen browsing the clothing aisles with festive cardigans and shirts in their carts.
Timmy said he wanted a new watch for Christmas, and the documentary maker joked: “He’ll tell me he’s always late.”
Then he was all smiles when he was given a reindeer antler to try on on a headband.
Timmy is given the opportunity to choose a watch from a rack inside a Walmart store.
Ray’s eyes lit up when he saw the monster truck on sale for $59.
He picked up the toy and threw it on top of the items he already had in his cart.
After browsing the toy and clothing departments, they looked at Christmas trees and decorations.
They bought artificial Christmas trees, decorations, and gift wrapping paper.
When Ray picked up a Santa hat and tried it on, it made the rest of the family and Laita laugh.
Laita and her family have been friends for decades and have been spotted at Walmart before.
Earlier this year, he recorded the moment the Whittaker family was taken in for a haircut.
Lyta first visited the Whitaker family in 2004, which he recalled as “the craziest thing” he had ever seen.
“It was out of control. People were walking around, their eyes were looking in different directions, and they were barking at us,” he said on an episode of the Koncrete KLIPS podcast.
Neighbors were reportedly incredibly protective of the family, chasing anyone who tried to take photos or make fun of them.
Some close-knit families communicate through grunts, while others have physical deformities.
Laita said he suspects some of the defects are the result of inbreeding, but that has not been confirmed.
Medical experts say inbreeding can cause defects such as decreased fertility, increased infant mortality, increased risk of cardiovascular disease and increased facial asymmetry.
