I've said it before but want to just say it again: the videos are so calming, so beautiful, the next best thing to actually being there. The sounds of the forest and the footage of the animals in their natural environments. AND I really appreciate how you leave the animal alone. I've watched some behind the scenes videos from you and know that you sometimes handle the animals but that footage hardly ever makes it to the final edit. There is something so enjoyable about this aspect. Now, when I watch herpetology videos from other channels, I am spoiled and a little irked by all the footage of them messing with the snakes. I think the snakes are too. Thank you again Living Zoology.
The male boomslang is absolutely beautifully coloured, with its mixture of green, black and yellow. The vine or twig snake has the most insane camouflage, and the way it puffs up its neck is awesome!
I remember camping near Ngorongoro crater in Kenya. We set up camp and a ranger came over and told us to move to a different spot. The tree we pitched our tent next to had a pair of black mambas in residence. He told us the snakes had lived there longer than anyone could remember and that the best thing was for us to pick a different spot. We moved, but we never saw the snakes. I thought it right that we moved on.
@@LivingZoology And those few people die! How do you even know it's just a few? They are not living to tell the tale are they? If black mambas bit a few members of your family every year you would have no family left!
Woooooooow! Amazing snakes, am really super happy to watch this, also I can't wait to watch another episode about venomous snakes of Africa. We are keeping our fingers crossed for you on your trip ( Alfa and Rhania).
You guys are so AWESOME 🙂🙂🙂! YOUR videos are by far the VERY best (way better than the "mainstream" wildlife channels). As others have commented, these videos ARE calming (it is unnerving to me when people risk being bitten or might traumatize a snake by their "parlor tricks"). It's also so nice that some of your videos are now narrated vocally. The footage is just outstanding! I don't know how you all manage to get so up close and personal with these snakes! Thank you so much for all you do. I'm very grateful that you all are willing and able to educate us AND entertain us by bringing such beautiful parts of the world into our homes. Be safe, and God bless 🙂🙂🙂
Thank you so much! We really appreciate your amazing comment! We donate huge amount of time and effort into getting our footage, so it is awesome to read positive reviews 🙂🙂🙂
What a great video. I wish they were able to understand when we’re trying to help them!! Especially if we said “ look mate I’m trying to get you better or make your life better, chill out!! “and they understood it.
Mambas are snakes of the subfamily Dendroaspidinae, there are five extant species under three genera, the Black Mamba (Melanophis polylepis), the Jameson's Mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni), the Black-Tailed Mamba (Dendroaspis kaimosae), the Eastern Green Mamba (Dendronaja angusticeps), and the Western Green Mamba (Dendronaja viridis).
@Living Zoology, mambas no longer constitute one genus, they more correctly constitute the subfamily Dendroaspidinae with three separate genera, Melanophis with just one species being the Black Mama (Melanophis polylepis), Dendroaspis with two species being the Jameson's Mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni) and the Black-Tailed Mamba (Dendroaspis kaimosae), and Dendronaja with two species being the Eastern Green Mamba (Dendronaja angusticeps) and the Western Green Mamba (Dendronaja viridis), the jameson's mamba and black-tailed mamba are no longer conspecific and are now separate species with Dendroaspis now only applying to these two species, whilst the black mamba and green mambas are removed from the genus.
Thank you very much! Great that you loved watching this one, please check the other two episodes! m.th-cam.com/video/CBxxhzv77eE/w-d-xo.html and m.th-cam.com/video/sK2iUDAWXsk/w-d-xo.html
That is a pity. They keep the population of rats down. South Africa has one of the best networks of snake catchers in the world, check who is operating in your area.
Same here in Limpopo Province in South Africa, I've never heard of snake rescuers residing in this province but I'm glad there aren't dangerous snakes residing around my area, I've only seen black mamba once in my life... But yeah we see one we assassinate
I hate to see anything killed to just kill. You can have them moved away from your home. When I moved to snake country on the coast of southern US, as I was getting needed phone numbers, I sure got the number of the snake rescuer. We must protect all creatures for a balanced environment. Each has its reason for being, many I’m frightened of, but they all have their purpose.
@@Sushi2735 As you say, if there is an option not to kill, it should be used! More and more snake catchers are working nowadays and in many cases snakes can be safely moved away.
Not many venomous snakes were I live … Ontario, Canada … but we do have the little Massassauga rattler near Tobermory in southwestern Ontario. The African snakes in this video are all so beautiful. The photography and narration are exquisite! Wonderful video, very enjoyable. Thanks so much. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
@@LivingZoology I subscribed before I’d watched even half of the first video quite a while ago. As a science nerd, I’m addicted to nature videos. I “have” a big female Eastern Garter snake as a tenant, whom we’ve christened Queenie. She’s called my property home for several years. Even watched her giving birth to the cutest little snakes I’d ever seen! Under my deck, with my Lab puppy out for a P in the middle of the night, and noticed her. (Held the pup.) Queenie lives under a brush pile made from my garden waste. Can’t compost it and be a home wrecker! Now teaching my grandkids all about her and snakes in general. Sent a link to your channel to my daughter, who controls the kids TH-cam content. Start them young! 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
@@Momcat_maggiefelinefan It’s awesome that you have an Eastern Garter on your property! Thanks a lot for subscribing and sharing our content, as you say, the education of the young generation is important! We do a lot of education programs about snakes in schools with our 4 pet snakes and kids love them!
I live in the rattlesnake capitol of the world. Tucson Arizona Sonoran desert 🌵. I've been bitten. But it was in Sacramento California, a northern Pacific rattler, not a Mojave or diamondback. Where I live there are four species of rattlesnake. Within an hour drive there are more. And the gila monster
@@pango-y8j That’s amazing! I love reptiles and was barred from bringing snakes in the house. Frogs and salamanders were fine, but no snakes. The innocuous Eastern Garters are nothing compared to your list rattlesnakes. I’ve only ever saw one, and it was a small rattlesnake, and I’ve never been bitten by a snake at all. It’s a dream of mine to some day visit your area. I’ve never seen a desert ecosystem. Amazing what one can learn in this manner. 🇨🇦🖖🏻🇨🇦
Also something cool about Boomslangs is that they’re sexually dimorphic (visual difference between male and female, like lions). The males get bright green with blues and teals, while the females are just kinda brown and gray.
Did Field study in Mocambique 1999. Saw a Vine snake, just sat in a small tree for three days without moving waiting for a Bird or chameleon. Saw another one as well. The first snake I saw was called a common slug eater saw a cobra, a small Rock python and several small snakes. No Mamba puff adder boomslang. I had a book
The python you saw would have been the Southern African Python (Python natalensis). The African Rock Python (Python sebae) is found further up in Africa.
I haven't been on utube in a few month I click on living zoology which is never a disappointment always educational such great footage Thank you 😊 keep the great videos coming 🇺🇸
That skinny little Boomslang snake is one finely tuned product of evolution indeed. No limbs, no legs or arms, yet there it is, sliding through a bunch of chaotic and unpredictable, open branches, moving very accurately at high speed too. Then it opens it's mouth in a yawn, and shows a size that would allow at least three of it's own heads to fit into it. Can you imagine if a human's open mouth was so large, that if we yawned, we could fit three human heads inside it!?? Imagine how large our mouth would have to be to allow that. It also has that unique red tongue, and it KNOWS IT! It uses it as part of a warning to other creatures, if it feels threatened. In other words it knows that it's red tongue is scary and uses it as part of a method to BE scary looking! Good god! We really need to take a serious look at how we define intelligence.
"Boomslang" is actually a Dutch word which translates to "Tree Snake. The pronunciation is however different; the double oo (u) in English becomes an O in Dutch. So basically Bom-tree and Slang-snake.🤗
@@HermanQ1 Afrikaans is een (en ook de enige) dochtertaal van het Nederlands. Dat betekent dat de taal afstamt van het Nederlands en er nog steeds nauw mee verwant is, maar ondertussen is uitgegroeid tot een afzonderlijke standaardtaal. Duidelijk, toch? Net als de pidgin Engels van Nigeria afkomstig is van Engeland.
I feel like it would be a full-time job correcting statements made by ignorant people regarding the behaviour, toxicity, real-world danger and taxonomy of snakes. It amazes me how people seemingly just make things up about them. So with that in mind, thank you @LivingZoology for putting together factually correct documentaries. Well done!
Thanks a lot! We try hard for already 10 years to show people how amazing snakes are! The difference between scary and beautiful is knowledge. There are so many myths about snakes.
A Boomslang looks just like his treehouse! It would be deadly easy to approach the tree with the intentions of snapping off a small twig, just thin enough to clear the residue out of the carburetor of a pot-pipe, and reaching right onto the snake itself! "Bad trip" is a gross understatement of that ordeal.
Luckily Boomslangs are very shy snakes and they rarely come into contact with people. The snake will move away much sooner than the person could come close.
We get a lot of Rinkhals in my area and there're a lot of children in my street, before the nursery school opened 2 months ago. Letting one live or trying to detain it until a catcher arrives is too much of a risk. I love all life, plants and animals but I have a human bias. I know if I leave snakes alone they will do the same, but a child might not understand that yet. I'm working on building some owl boxes in my area to attract native owls closer to house to control the rodents near our house and hopefully the snakes won't wander too close to us. I just need to deal with all the black people in my area accusing me of witchcraft sigh 🙄
I want to see a king cobra, black mamba, a boomslang, an anaconda, the bushmaster, fer de lance, gaboon viper n a few other snakes in person. Anyone know of any place on the east coast United States that I can go to see all of these animals?!? I’m in Maryland also.
Did you know that: Black Mamba is the name of one of the most venomous snakes in the world, living mainly in sub-Saharan Africa, including areas such as East Africa and southern Africa. The Black Mamba's venom is one of the deadliest in the animal world. Their venom is an extremely powerful neurotoxin that can cause death within 20 minutes to several hours if not treated promptly.
What is the rational for saving the Mambas,or cobras for that matter? Are they endangered? Taking them to a reserve and releasing them, dosn't that create an overpopulation there?
@@princeofpcos9804 Aid is a tricky thing. Helping while not causing more problems it very difficult. And a lot of aid has strings attached. Usually human nature.
I've said it before but want to just say it again: the videos are so calming, so beautiful, the next best thing to actually being there. The sounds of the forest and the footage of the animals in their natural environments.

Superb as always. I particularly am drawn to the beautiful greens of the boemslangs, stunning coloration
Thank you! Cheers!
I think those cobras on the island realise that they’ve got it made in terms of food, so why jeopardise that by biting someone.
They are certainly used to people.
But uh... how do they know humans would jeopardize that? That is a more complex cause and effect intelligence than I would think snakes would have.
What a great video. I wish they were able to understand when we’re trying to help them!! Especially if we said “ look mate I’m trying to get you better or make your life better, chill out!! “and they understood it.
That would be cool!

The Black Mamba's venom is one of the deadliest in the animal world. Their venom is an extremely powerful neurotoxin that can cause death within 20 minutes to several hours if not treated promptly.
What aborto the taipan ?
Always admired the boomslandg. Not quite sure why, other that my lifetime interest in reptiles. Regards from an 88 year old Englishman. March, 2024.
Hello! The Boomslang is a very beautiful species, we understand you!
we say Ringhals in Germany as well. In that case german and dutch are the same.
black mamba is one of my favourite african snakes.
We also like Black mambas!
Because they are so at ease the islanders get fair warning if the irritate one and it hoods up. Definitely a safety margin there,
Thanks for watching! :)
I watched Bullet Train recently and my respect for african boomslangs really grew up
Unfortunately it is not a Boomslang in that movie, not even a real snake.
@@LivingZoology i know they shot it with some kind of grass snake but the venom effects displayed are quite correct, except the period they hit in
@@BlackIronCollector The hemotoxic venom is slowly working and it takes hours and mostly days for a person to masivelly bleed.
@@LivingZoology that's what I'm talking about, the effects of the venom are much slower, but generally they're the same as in the movie
Pleasant voice also
Thank you!
Thank you for your beautiful video program. Personally, I am always afraid of snakes, poisonous or non-poisonous, even in movies.👍😄
Venomous, not poisonous. Two different things.
Thank you very much!! Great that you love this video! With snakes it is correct to say venomous. Venom is injected, poison can be eaten ;)
A black mamba in the bedroom?! I don't know what it would take to make me go back into that room for a nap !
Even this happens sometimes and we were happy to witness that and be a part of the rescue!
😂😂maybe tired?
What is the rational for saving the Mambas,or cobras for that matter? Are they endangered? Taking them to a reserve and releasing them, dosn't that create an overpopulation there?
They really help with the rat, mice and other pest problems
Fun fact; the species with the highest rate of overpopulation is humans! Who are we to kill other species?…
@@MyBentleyBoo I would be all for stopping 3rd world aid to Africa. And everywhere for that matter
@@princeofpcos9804 Aid is a tricky thing. Helping while not causing more problems it very difficult. And a lot of aid has strings attached. Usually human nature.
@@princeofpcos9804 humans need a reality check and to stop producing. We are going to ruin the Earth.
