Just a correction, some antivenins are used for multiple snakes. For example, no commercial antivenin is produced for the variable bush viper, so its bites are treated with antivenin for the carpet viper. Also, it's almost universally horses that they use, not cows or pigs.
there teeth are curved backwards so when they strike at there prey the prey cant get away like a fish hook. Then they rap their bodies around the prey and constrict it to death then swallow it whole. So there is no need for venom
now THAT is a great pun! "Arms race" is horrrrrible though! He just couldn't think of a better pun to do what you just did here! Mice aren't trying to develop "arms" (venom) at all. Neither mice nor snakes have true arms, nor is racing to get them. What's the arms race???
ibanez1403 Consuming venom doesn't affect you the same as being bitten, some snake venoms has drug like effects when drunk. We can consume deadly venom and be ok.
SirGooglinMort Smith if you happen to have an ulcer or a cut in your mouth , something thats exposing the bloodstream you'd be dead, it would be a risk
1:31 "immunity"? You mean resistance. A species can't become immune. Immunity has to do with the immune system, and resistance has to do with genes. So, a whole species can be resistant to a certain substance (just like bacteria being resistant to antibiotics), but an individual can build up an immunity via its immune system.
My first thought when I listened to the intro: This ain't a scene, it's an arms race! If you understand this reference, then you are absolutely amazing.
Not unless you have a cut in your throat or on the way down to your stomach. It is venom not poison. If you swallowed poison you would die. The only way venom would kill you if it had a way into your bloodstream.
clayton dixon IamScott351W Thanks for answering. Seems like that makes sense, yeah. I'd imagine that if you have some kind of venom that also has enzymes that decompose flesh in it, it could probably get in your bloodstream anyway. I've heard pineapples contain an enzyme that decomposes flesh, so seems to me that isn't too farfetched. Just increase the concentration of that enzyme and you've got yourself a nice flesh-eating venom. >:D PS: I hope I didn't give any snakes or spiders any ideas here...
A general use anti-venom would be good to start with, but if it can be made synthetically, It could become cheap enough to replace snake byte kits. If this is successful, it will save lives.
Kirill Shestakov That's the point of natural selection... genes don't think! It is based on luck (environment.) When a parent species procreate, their children will bear slightly random genes based on their parent's genes. (This is why if you have siblings, you don't exactly look like clones.) Whichever one of those lucky offspring survives within enough time that they can reproduce new random variation themselves though sexual reproduction wins.
Kirill Shestakov You know what else is laughable? People who watches shows they obviously disagree about or dislike just so they can say how much they disagree about it. Laughable people are bound to ridicule.
It didn't know and the mutation was not specific. Mutation happens all the time. I carry mutant genes, you do as well. Stuff happens, even to DNA. And if it happens to a germ cell, the kids get the mutation. Most mutations are harmless; they might for example make some people have smelly urine after eating asparagus. Or they might allow a protein that is produced in the pancreas - a protein for which there is already a genetic code - that protein might additionally be produced in the mouth. But the snake does not know that, nor would it understand. It just likes to eat mice, the furry little things. But this mutant snake now has an advantage. Mice that it bites stop fighting, so it gets to eat more. You'd be amazed how often prey escapes in the wild, btw. A predator is lucky if it can survive. Anyhow, our well-fed snake lives longer, resists disease better because he's nourished better than the poor chap in the next burrow; that guy only has this protein in his pancreas, the poor sap. So our lucky snake has babies, and those babies who get this lucky gene are able to eat better, so they have more babies, and more robust babies... while those poor saps without the protein are barely eking out a living. And after a few generations - well, if you're a snake without this protein, you won't live very long. There just isn't enough prey to share. Not only does this happen all the time btw - mutations moving the site of production, for example, or duplicating production of a protein in two places, but there are other mutations that might produce more or less of the same protein. Often this results in nothing, sometimes it results in disease, and sometimes - ah, sometimes you get lucky. And it's quite reasonable that a protein intended for one application finds a use in another role - biology is built of largely the same blocks, over and over. I use these tools in research and it's amazing how much is recycled.
Poison Newts, Snakes ate them, some died others got very sick and recovered, their offspring became more immune and since you are what you eat, the poison digested by the snakes was put to use in their evolution. With venom, a snake could inflict a bite to faster prey like mice who otherwise could take the harmless bite and get away being much faster. But it all started with the newts
Did he say "Walla" instead of "Voila?" If so, does he also say "déjà woooo?" Same French verb. What's the deal with everyone saying Walla instead of voila? Creepy.
Kell Titan Actually it dates back to shitty cartoons with magicians that say walla instead of voilà. Thus making many Americans and other English speakers say Walla. Nobody questions it as it stayed. It irks me to no end. I am Texan, know Spanish and German, and feel like I have a pretty decent grasp of languages, but am by no means an expert on any one language. I just wish people would stop using walla. It is up to us to correct them so they don't continue to make the same mistakes, and hopefully in the future voilà will be more widely used instead of that awfully made up word called walla. Your friendly TH-cam Grammar Nazi
I don't fully understand this. What makes creatures evolve like that? Do these snakes automatically develop venom (or new types of venom) themselves in order to try and survive, or does their body do it on its own somehow?
There's always gene mutation happening and variation in a population. The snakes that happen to have more poisonous venom or more efficient venom whatever were probably more likely to survive and reproduce. This means the snake population evolve to become more venomous :)
scientist don't know either. They always say the same thing. "Well, it just mutated". Gee, thanks for clearing tha one up... like science has answered all the other questions about evolution. It mutated.
Mutation is one of the only ways a new gene can enter a gene pool. Often a mutation isn't like a huge change but more of a step in the right direction. If a gene mutation survives and is able to reproduce (well the organism with the mutation not the mutation itself), it must be good for the species.
TadaGanIarracht sorry I don't bow at the alter of pseudo-science. Things evolve and de-evolve, yes, but all cases were never a mutation. What species don't use, they lose. I've only witnessed de-evolution in fish; never saw evolution in any species.
Awesome video, just FYI snakes are not poisonous. Poisonous is when you ingest it, venomous is when you inject it. Or if you prefer, poisonous when you bit it, venomous when it bites you.
I find this really interesting because in my language venom and poison is the same word, funny enough it's called "gift", but anyway, I've wondered about that, how they are different.
I saw a new prototype anti-venom that blocks receptors in the nervous system as a vaccination to a small range of snake bite. I think in time we will have much better treatments and as always we will learn a lot along the way.
Sebastian Frost iknow ur comment is months old but I'm thinking some of the pray got bitten but didn't die maybe not enough venom or a mutation and it passed it on and more and more immune pray kept on multiplying while the non immune kept dying .
Mitche23 but they wouldn´t need to evolve the venom to kill...there are many other ways, why the venom? and why almost every snake on the earth has it, and an other predator don´t.
From the description: "Snakes are pretty incredible animals. And the *poisonous* ones even more so...." FFFffff-God damnit! There is no such thing as a poisonous snake! It's venomous, not poisonous! Learn your biological terms!
WinterWhiteFox214 No, that'd just be gross. The venom would have to enter your blood stream. Which would require a cut or other internal injury which, considering you're blending an animal with spintery bones going down the entire length of it's body, wouldn't be that difficult to find...o'course at that rate the bones would be the thing that kills you.
WinterWhiteFox214 Venom can be consumed, some venoms have drug like effects but it won't affect you anything like if you were bitten. The proteins in the venom are broken down in the stomach so by the time its in your bloodstream its some what different from its original state.
Is it real or they just remove the snakes venom glands?🤔.. In this kind of process, The snake can still bite because he still have fangs but there is no venom to be extracted due to the cause of venom glands removal procedure.. Correct me if i'm wrong🙄
DNews - poisonous and venomous are not synonyms. For a show revolving around science, seeing this basic error in your video description is incredibly disappointing.
I think it must be frustrating for the snakes. They spend all that time trying to perfect their venoms and we just come along, tear it into pieces and develop antidotes.
I understand the pancreas of early iterations, following natural enzymatic redox reaction, eventuated in the salivas virulence. Its really quite fascinating.
I'm sure finding the "root cause" of the venom would involve complex biochemical pathways that would take up an entire whiteboard and confuse the living crap out of anyone who gazes upon it.
Maybe we decode the snakes immunity to its own venom and reproduce that, then make shots that contain immunity to the venom, so you can get shots for the venomous snakes in your area of the world.
Can a species of venomous snake kill/paralyse another snake, of the same species, with its venom, or are they immune to the venom their species produce?
I think they sometimes are immune, but what I recall they have some kind of "truce", that is, in conflict they dont use their fangs, they just puff up and go breast smashing. That is because if they did use their venom they would kill eatch other, so no point in doing so.
Drudley I think getting mates is the priority over getting food. Thats like the number one goal, and getting food and survive is just the way to that goal.
I saw some documentary about them sometimes not wasting venom on humans because they can't eat us. Though, I think food is higher priority than mates, simply because without food, you die, and thus get no mates.
Before anyone posts something negative about this, just keep in mind, all this guy (or girl) needs to know is that his god gave snakes venom. His believing that doesn't hurt you. No flame wars need be started over it.
That's not that simple... When you eat poisonous food and DONT die, maybe you have a characteristic to resist poison. And so you may, or may not, pass this poison resistance characteristic to your offspring... And if your offspring is resistant to poison, it may, or may not, pass that characteristic on, and so on and so forth...
An individual can't evolve. Only a species as a whole can evolve. Individuals can only learn and develop immunity (which is basically the same as your immune system learning), but it's impossible for you to evolve on your own. Especially since evolving involves the survival of only the fittest.
You seem to be implying that evolution has a goal, that is not how evolution works. Your looking at evolution from the wrong side of the cause. You seem to be looking for a purpose, there is non. Evolution happens to be the cause but there is no intent. It works and that is why it is still there. If it didn't work it wouldn't be.
Just a correction, some antivenins are used for multiple snakes. For example, no commercial antivenin is produced for the variable bush viper, so its bites are treated with antivenin for the carpet viper.
Also, it's almost universally horses that they use, not cows or pigs.
can you guys try finding out why there are snakes without venom like the hog-nose snake or the boa or python?
they don't have vemon because they use their large bodies to strangle their prey to death
there teeth are curved backwards so when they strike at there prey the prey cant get away like a fish hook. Then they rap their bodies around the prey and constrict it to death then swallow it whole. So there is no need for venom
Kamal Gill and its always going to kill its prey with this technique
Hognose snakes have a rear-fanged system and are slightly venomous.
The snakes evolved and natural selection made their method of killing by constriction instead of poison
No worries people.I heard snake venom is pretty armless * cough *
Jay Barnacle nooo, not now
XD
now THAT is a great pun! "Arms race" is horrrrrible though! He just couldn't think of a better pun to do what you just did here! Mice aren't trying to develop "arms" (venom) at all. Neither mice nor snakes have true arms, nor is racing to get them. What's the arms race???
What happens if the snake bites itself?
you laugh
they're immune to their Venom
ibanez1403 Kingsnakes aren't even venimous but are resistant to venom, enabling them to eat rattlesnakes and such,
ibanez1403 Consuming venom doesn't affect you the same as being bitten, some snake venoms has drug like effects when drunk. We can consume deadly venom and be ok.

I've seen studies on squirrels that seem to have developed an immunity to rattlesnake venom.

If you understand this reference, then you are absolutely amazing.
Mia F I thought it was a goddamn arms race
Love learning about the evolutionary path, keep 'em coming, the weirder the better.
cool t-shirt, Trace!!
I want to know: what happens if you would swallow snake venom? Does it still have any effects?
Not unless you have a cut in your throat or on the way down to your stomach. It is venom not poison. If you swallowed poison you would die. The only way venom would kill you if it had a way into your bloodstream.
clayton dixon Correct. Most venom is just specific combinations of proteins. So.... digestible.
Yea. You ever heard of Bane?
clayton dixon IamScott351W Thanks for answering. Seems like that makes sense, yeah. I'd imagine that if you have some kind of venom that also has enzymes that decompose flesh in it, it could probably get in your bloodstream anyway.

PS: I hope I didn't give any snakes or spiders any ideas here...
There are drinks in India made from cobra venom. It's pretty safe to drink, unless you have an open wound in your mouth or throat.
Great stuff, I really enjoyed
Awesome study. It will be great one day when we can use things like this for all kinds of medicine.
Hy Trace, where did you buy that T-shirt?
It's really cool.
A general use anti-venom would be good to start with, but if it can be made synthetically, It could become cheap enough to replace snake byte kits. If this is successful, it will save lives.
I love this stuff. Not venom; biology.
I love venom. Not this venom: marvel venom
Thanks for the help
Terrific tongue twister!
How did the snakes body know that this combination of proteins would fuck its prey up?
If it didn't work, the snake would die from starvation not passing its useless gene. Survival of the fittest...
Kirill Shestakov That's the point of natural selection... genes don't think! It is based on luck (environment.)

I have a king cobra
TRACE! Where'd you get that shirt?
It’s kinda funny I hate this guy when I’m at school but I love him when I’m at home watching videos about snakes
I think this is really cool. I'm in school to become a veterinarian for exotic animals, including snakes.
Hey DNews, are you related to the Discovery channel
They are.
How could the prey slowly develop an immunity if it was poisoned and killed, therefore not given the chance?
Just curious.
Sebastian Frost iknow ur comment is months old but I'm thinking some of the pray got bitten but didn't die maybe not enough venom or a mutation and it passed it on and more and more immune pray kept on multiplying while the non immune kept dying .
His T-shirt is frickin dope
I really love your t-Shirt !!
But the real question, is why? Maybe because God wanted to make them evolve?
Why snakes have venom?
Simple, they need to feed like anybody else and to feed you have to kill. That is their way of doing it.
Mitche23
but they wouldn´t need to evolve the venom to kill...there are many other ways, why the venom? and why almost every snake on the earth has it, and an other predator don´t.
Daniel Zagora That is called in one word adaption. Some evolve venom, some evolve constriction. It depends on environment where the animal is located.
Daniel Zagora A majority of snakes in the world are non-venomous.
yeah god hahahaha
now this is pretty interesting stuff :o
Like your shirt!
I am confused? I was hoping to hear a direct answer.
I'm surprised nobody is all like "OH SHIT DID THOSE SNAKES JUST SHOOT VENOM OUT OF THERE MOUTH"
So does the antivenom change as the venom evolves
I like your shirt!!! :)
Well said my friend, well said.
From the description: "Snakes are pretty incredible animals. And the *poisonous* ones even more so...."
FFFffff-God damnit! There is no such thing as a poisonous snake! It's venomous, not poisonous! Learn your biological terms!
The snake would be poisonous if you blended a venomous snake and drank it and got sick, though. 8D /morbid thoughts.

Except that you're wrong and there actually are snakes that are poisonous, including the Tiger Keelback. Look it up.
Actually some of the ancient snakes had legs
ok now that is partially explained can someoneplease explain to me the evolution of the bombardment beetle?
Is it real or they just remove the snakes venom glands?🤔.. In this kind of process, The snake can still bite because he still have fangs but there is no venom to be extracted due to the cause of venom glands removal procedure.. Correct me if i'm wrong🙄

W00t? Not HD?
And now we have to watch 20 seconds of advertisement????? Fuck youtube
Make podcasts on iOS please!!
Thanks D-news. Now if only you guys can explain the difference between Venom & Poison, that would be great~
so does this mean that one day all snakes will be venomous?
Only if their pray requires it.
I'm sure finding the "root cause" of the venom would involve complex biochemical pathways that would take up an entire whiteboard and confuse the living crap out of anyone who gazes upon it.
Please Answer my question :(
Why did i lose my Christmas spirit
I LOVE RESEARCH ON VENOM I WISH I COULD TO RESEARCH ON IT
Amazing. Thanks 👍😊
This is cool
TYPO IN THE DESCRIPTION! SNAKES ARE VENOMOUS! NOT POISONOUS!

Maybe we decode the snakes immunity to its own venom and reproduce that, then make shots that contain immunity to the venom, so you can get shots for the venomous snakes in your area of the world.
next thing you know, nypd shooting people with custom venom bullets
what does venom taste like
Try and let us know, ok ? :)
Can a species of venomous snake kill/paralyse another snake, of the same species, with its venom, or are they immune to the venom their species produce?

Metholus Caedes Also, they don't want to waste venom and starve, it's meant to get them food, not fight over territory or mates.
Drudley
I think getting mates is the priority over getting food. Thats like the number one goal, and getting food and survive is just the way to that goal.

So the ultimate anti venom lies with the Honey Badger?
He looks like the guy from the big bang theory
I WANT YOUR SHIRT!!!
My brothers got bitten by a coral snake and never felt it bite. What a bitch snake. Let your venom do all the work.
So a snake like a python did not evolve to be venomous well if that’s true why did the snake have to
Dutch Scientist: Freek Vonk
Hey man at least we are trying
Wish I had venom glands.
Trace really looks like my classmate last year...Francis Angelo..when it comes to hand gestures and facial expressions etc. it's kinda weird
hm, like other species of animals if these snake's don't adapt they die...there's darwin's theory in there somewhere
this topic needs more work, just being honest..
amazing shirt
Comments are full of vigor and insight today...... lol
I'm glad my snake doesn't have venom :P
THE POOR COWS!
do you always have your hair like that ?
Kobe!
Can I drink snake venom after my workout
Yes, you can. Venom is digestible.
God
Before anyone posts something negative about this, just keep in mind, all this guy (or girl) needs to know is that his god gave snakes venom. His believing that doesn't hurt you. No flame wars need be started over it.
Lol, Religion.
Lol, Rapid expansions of time-space.
ihategoogle 30 mins and no religion vs science argument. Internet, I'm impressed :D
Dem feels. Dem feels of the Internets growing up.
This is not helpful
I need how ?
Snake had pancreas and copied it to saliva?
So how can humans do that too
Dumb question
Yeah that's cool but, i am interested in how the hell they got perfect holes all the way trough there fangs !!
Trace used to be much more energetic
aliens
90% protein, so lets make snake venom using protein shakes!
WE ARE VENOM
when u eat poisonuous food, eventually u evolved and develop venom.
When you eat poisonous food, you die.
That's not that simple... When you eat poisonous food and DONT die, maybe you have a characteristic to resist poison. And so you may, or may not, pass this poison resistance characteristic to your offspring... And if your offspring is resistant to poison, it may, or may not, pass that characteristic on, and so on and so forth...
Humberto Dottori
Perfect summary of evolution. Problem is most will die in the process so I think both of you are right.
Humberto Dottori Or maybe it was a really weak toxin. Anyway, my above comment was just for fun and jokes, so don't take it seriously.
An individual can't evolve. Only a species as a whole can evolve. Individuals can only learn and develop immunity (which is basically the same as your immune system learning), but it's impossible for you to evolve on your own. Especially since evolving involves the survival of only the fittest.
The right parts of the shelves could use some bongs to pimp the view hahaha amyrite
You seem to be implying that evolution has a goal, that is not how evolution works. Your looking at evolution from the wrong side of the cause. You seem to be looking for a purpose, there is non.
Evolution happens to be the cause but there is no intent. It works and that is why it is still there. If it didn't work it wouldn't be.
Damn I wanted to know how snakes go the glands and if humans can get them ... LOL
chuck noris needed some soap
Cool
Interesting. I hope they're successful with the anti venoms.
