Africa is home to many amazing venomous snakes. This continent has many ecosystems. We will explore deserts, savannas and rainforests of sub-Saharan Africa. The last, third episode is about venomous snakes living in rainforests. We will begin with a scene where the Brown forest cobra (Naja subfulva) encounters chickens near a village. Then we will visit coastal woodlands, which are home to Eastern green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps). Another green mamba species is the beautiful Jameson's mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni). This episode also shows three species of bush vipers. The first one is the Great Lakes bush viper (Atheris nitschei) from mountains of Albertine Rift. Green bush viper, also called Variable bush viper (Atheris squamigera) is the most common bush viper species. The third species is the Rough-scaled bush viper (Atheris hispida), a rare and secretive snake. Later we will show you the Rhinoceros viper (Bitis nasicornis), one of the most beautiful snakes on Earth. A closely related and also deadly venomous snake is the Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica). You will see a big Gaboon viper hunt and kill two mice! The episode finishes with a scene focused on snake export topic.
The cinematography is almost is as beautiful as the snakes. The initial rhinoceros viper shot was perfect.
Thank you for watching! :)
There is just something mesmerizing, and terrifying about venomous snakes. Primal fear and respect for such creatures.
We agree that these animals are amazing and special. That is why we travel around the world in search of them! :)
I find the mambas to be exquisitely beautiful. Such incredible snakes. And the ground dwelling vipers stunned me with how much they look and move like caterpillars!
Africa has some gorgeous snakes for sure! Thanks for watching!
Those bush vipers are so beautiful. Love the way their scales protrude
We agree, true dragons among snakes!
They really are, arent they? Almost cruel that theyre so deadly. Would love to hold one.
Yeah bush viper is one of my top 3 snakes, red headed krait and blue insularis are the others
Incredible that some of the locals see the value of these creatures in the wild! Week done!!
Thank you for watching! :)
Tyler Mac Congo is the worlds
I love how the gaboon viper moves, almost like it has locomotion. They are also one of the most gorgeous snakes on the planet.
I find them fascinating as well. :)
Yes Sir...and the size of those fangs...amazing
I agree the gaboon is beautiful
We agree!
Rhinoceros viper!
Great video! And shoutout to the guy who's educating his people about snakes.
Thank you very much for watching! 🙏
The african snake hunter was a cool dude. Great to see local conservation. Teaching kids to not be afraid but just avoid the vipers and he took good care of them. I hope they are treated well by the purchaser.
Yes, he is a good man! Thank you for watching our videos!
Excellent video as always! Love your work and I wish I was able to financially support your channel but I’m disabled and my monthly check barely covers rent. I’ve been a fan for years and I can’t thank you enough for bringing some of the worlds most amazing and beautiful snakes from their habitat into my life.
I m disabled also. It barely covers the rent like you said. I also love this channel and would support it if I could afford. I just wanted to let you know that you're not alone. Try and stay positive. Have a great week
Thank you for watching! :) We are very very happy to read this comment. It is always amazing to see the support from a long-term fan! You are supporting us a lot just by watching our videos! You can share them with your friends or family and that is enough ;) Take care and stay safe!
We also want to thank you a lot for your support! Just the fact that you watch our videos is great! All the best from Matej and Zuzana from the Czech Republic!
Those green Mabas are stunningly beautiful. Actually, I take that back! Every creature in this video is STUNNING. A real credit to the platform.
Thank you very much! We agree that snake species from this episode are very beautiful and we feel honored that we could film them in the wild 🙂
Big Up's to the snake catcher... Catch for, educational purposes, exports some and releases the rest and holds a valid permit... You're the man my guy... 👍👌Surving with Nature...
We are very proud that we could work with locals in Uganda for several years and show them how to value snakes in another way than just selling them abroad. This hunter is now our friend, we financially support his kids so they can go to school and he educates locals about these animals :) It is great to see that some snakes are coming back to their natural habitat.

I met up with an Eastern Green Mamba not far from Malindi, a coastal community in Kenya. It was beautiful! I kept my distance but photographed it going up a whitewashed wall into the horse barn.
Nice! These snakes are beautiful!

Thanks again for your hard work. We really love these videos, we learn so much.
Thank you so much for watching our videos!
Fascinující záběry, jak hadů, tak prostředí. Jak jste se vlastně k téhle práci dostali? Ovlivnilo vás hodně studium, nebo jde spíš o osobní projekt? (každopádně držím palce do budoucna, jste skvělí)
Mockrát děkujeme! Natáčet hady jsme začali už během studií zoologie, před zhruba 10 lety. Postupně, po asi 6 letech, se naše záliba stala pro jednoho z nás prací :) Living Zoology je výhradně náš projekt.
Loved this one! Thanks guys! 🤍
Thank you for watching! :)
what is making the sound of laughter? Magnificent video.
Hornbills.
I truly enjoyed this documentary on venomous snakes. In Africa, you guys are doing a great job. Educating people about venomous snakes and let them live in the ecosystem with the planet of earth
Thank you very much for watching!
What stunning creatures I hope never to meet in person! But nonetheless beautiful 😍
Just amazing how these creatures can hide themselves 😮 please wear snake boots!
Some of these snakes are amazingly camouflaged and beautiful! ❤️🐍 It is hard work searching for them! We try to wear good boots most of the time! 🙂
Awesome
Thank you very much!

Cobra nervously observes the chickens, but the chickens aren't nervously observing the cobra.
No, haha!
Just a matter of time before some lunatic brings a few of those to Florida!!!
They are already there.
Always great shots..
Thank you so much!

Great video. Just came across your channel & am an instant fan. My unicorn of venomous African rainforest snakes would have to be Pseudohaje goldii.
Thank you! Enjoy many snake videos on our channel!
That Jameson Mamba is some snake, the color of green is so amazing. And how it spends most of its life I'm trees is also very interesting.
Yes, Jameson’s mambas are gorgeous snakes! Thank you for watching!
Tyler Mac were is the africa snakes
Beautiful Video , as always .
Thank you! Cheers!
Another awesome and informative video! Thanks
Thank you for watching! :)
I love see the videos of this chanel
Thanks for watching! :)
Looks like the ants disturbed the Gaboon viper's salad course...................................
Another great video...hope you all are well.
Thank you for watching! :)
Pangolins are so cute! I couldn't imagine eating them.
Although, I can clearly see why their scales were used to create high end ultralight weight and very effective armour.
We agree, amazing animals which should be protected!
Gaboons have huge fangs... just the stab alone would hurt ya.
Yes, their fangs are absolutely huge!
Gaboon vipers are crazy cool snakes ! I live in ashtabula ohio , I've seen gigantic massasauga and timber rattlesnakes .
They are! Timbers and Massasaugas are cool too!
Ooh my 8kg snake is heavy 😮
Yes, a very big snake!
the only thing wrong with this video is that it isn't longer
love these videos, keep up the great work
Thank you for watching! :)
Marvellous work as always, but the sounds of birds in background is quite annoying
Thank you! Those hornbills can be a bit annoying sometimes!
Then perhaps you should put earplugs in your ears to block out the sounds of nature.
Great video, amazing shots. Hope no one got bit for the shots.
Thanks for watching! :) We were never bit by a venomous snake!
Green Mamba has a coffin-shaped head from producer to consumer everything is included in the price 😉😂😂😂
Thanks for watching!
17:58 - Gaboon viper slogan: the forest floor will eat you! (If you're a rabbit or other prey). Gorgeous viper that looks like it has leaf patterns on it.
Thanks for watching! Gaboon vipers are amazing.
Nice work 👍👍
Thanks for watching! :)
very nice as usual, but risky with young guys to close of baby gabonica !
Thank you! The local hunter seemed to be experienced in showing these snakes to kids so nothing dangerous happened 🙂
I watch all of these Videos.
That is great!
2:25 Yes, a threat. If it wanted to strike it would not make itself so visible.
Yes, you got it right!
Bitis nasicornis is unbelievably beautiful
Thank you for watching! :)
Nejhezčí videa ze všech!!!
Hrozně rád se na ně dívám 👍🙋♂️🇨🇿
Moc děkujeme! :)
Gosto muito de seus vídeos 👏👏👏👏
Thank you for watching!
never kill snakes because it's wrong to do that now and days
We agree, it is not good to kill snakes!
Incredible work❤️
Thank you very much!
Wow, with all the other exotic snakes on display, I hadn't expected the gaboon viper to stand out so much! Two wild feedings, AND babies?!
Thank you for watching! :)
I want to know how they got all this video footage of some of these very dangerous snakes.
We filmed this footage during several herping trips to Africa 🙂 We both studied zoology and we know how to search for snakes and work with them in order to get a high quality content 🙂
@@LivingZoology how long did it take you ? I mean so shots you must have followed those snake for ages.
And getting such clear shots at not disturbing the snakes is amazing.
Some serious zoom lenses.
They have horns to protect from head-on attack by other animals ....the horns stab into the predators head when they try to bite down.
The horns are basically weird scales and they are not hard and strong, you can bend them with a small stick.
@@LivingZoology It's meant to be an obstacle to swallow
@@LivingZoology The horns make it much harder for another snake to eat him. A lot of snakes like (Cobra - King Snake) hunt other snakes exclusively. Perhaps there was a time when he was on the menu.
Used to go into the rainforest to pick oranges and cocoa as a 5 year old. Honestly shocked to still be alive 😅
You don’t encounter snakes often if you don’t look for them specifically 🙂
I eared that big adult Bitis gabonica coulkd be able to eat small antelope and porcupine, right ???
Yes, they can hunt a pretty big prey!
@@LivingZoology yes but not horny or risky animals Who can perfore stomach
💝💝💝
Thanks for watching!
You've got to admit these snakes are gorgeous colours & Reptiles..🐍 why can't people just "bloody" leave them!!..BE😤😠.
Yes, thes snakes are really beautiful and we think that they should stay in the wild.
The rhino viper and reg gaboon viper 4 both gorgeous snakes but when they mate there offspring r n my opinion the most beautiful snakes I can't remember what there name is but they have the same pattern as mom ad pop but different colors like I seen one that was Brite yellow and black
Hybrids between Gaboon vipers and Rhinoceros vipers are called gabinos. We were super lucky to see one in the wild! th-cam.com/video/4eKukG34HzY/w-d-xo.html
that black chicken looked at the cobra like "yummy, thats a big worm..."...go ahead and try chicken...
Thanks for watching! :)
This was a very excellent documentary. Thank you so much for it. Very enlightening too
Thanks for watching! :)
Always sad when any species loses habitat to humans
Yes, very sad! Thanks for watching!
Adoro i serpenti i colori,killer tengono sotto controllo i ratti,la colpa è del uomo che ha invaso il loro territorio
Thank you for watching! You are right, snakes control rodent populations and we should let them live in their natural habitat!
man, pangolines are one of the coolest animals ever
PS. That allways repeated thing about gaboons having the longest fangs, I doubt that very much. And also, what it is, a record or average. Is it two snakes of same lenght, of same age....its all messy. Also gaboons are VERY curved while bushmaster for example have almost straight dagger like fangs, which are longer almost allways if we measure in straight line fro the root to the point
PPS. That rhyno was stunningly beautyfull, and that jamesons mamba was super dark, crazy, colourwise not even looking like a mamba
Thanks for watching! The longest fangs of the Gaboon viper measured were we believe 5.5 cm long, bushmasters have just a little bit shorter fangs. We agree that those Rhino vipers and Jameson’s mambas look awesome!
@@LivingZoology a gaboon of five cm fangs, and bushmaster of four, bushmaster injects venom waaay deeper. That five cm gaboon fang is going maybe at three cm depth, they are just that curved
should wear some of your merch to show the print quality
We wear our merch at the end of this video!

Thank you for watching!
❤
Thanks for watching!
Ternyata di Afrika ada pohon jambu
There is guava trees, golden apples, different species of mangos and exotic fruit trees all over the place!
Thank you for watching! :)
mu buddy had a gaboon viper for 10 years...thing was so sick looking
Thanks for watching!
Sick looking? I hope he took it to a veterinarian.
