Great job! Here in Bahia, Brazil, we have the Serra Grande Nucleus, which works in the rescue, monitoring and preservation of the species 'Lachesis Muta', popularly called "surucucu". It is a project of great importance for the conservation of animals in the region, not only Lachesis but also other species, and mainly, raising the awareness of the local population in the search for protection of the regional fauna.
This species is absolutely gorgeous. I first saw one at Cologne zoo and was totally captivated by their beauty. Thanks for another superb and insightful video
I met this very same Lachesis stenophrys in 2019, thanks to Sebastian from bushmasters project... I will never forget such experience tracking this lady of the forest in the night and what such complex task was for Sebastian to find it... was incredible because this viper was hidden very deep into a kind of cave.... I will never forget!
Awesome, most beautiful snakes. They deserve to be protected like all other snakes. Hope their preservation is going well as much as the education of and cooperation with the local people. Humans are the biggest threat to all snakes in the world. Grateful for the stunning video and its message, as always.
We and snakes are threats to eachother, humans are the biggest threat to snakes and snakes are the biggest threat to humans, so we learn to cooperate and coexist with snakes
Another stunning video. The quality & knowledge you guys deliver is outstanding! You will have to do one of the team that deliver by far the best snake content on you tube! Well done guys!
I'm far from being a snake fan but we need these animals for predator and prey even people like me who are not a big fan of them can still coexist with them. I love to learn about them and love to see how important they are to our ecosystem. I go out of my way to not hurt a snake even through they send me running the other way. As always thank you for a great video wish you would do one on the most endangered viper in Africa were they have only seen 12 of them.
Many many thanks for respecting snakes and trying to learn something about them!!! Not everyone needs to be a huge fan of snakes, but we think that respect in general should be normal. We are happy that you are following our work and we hope to have a chance to travel to Africa again in the future :)
I’m right there with you man. I’m scared $hitle$$ of them but I respect them and want them to live in peace just like all of the other creatures that are an important part of our ecosystems. If people like us can coexist and leave them be surely anyone can!
Always through time,the most scary stuff causes the most power. The Power to make sick well again. So many Cancer Drugs,Human Blood Pressure and more coming from venom. Every type has a different trait they are uncovering Wonder Drugs by the day.. Global shortage,even for research. Will come a day soon,when every single snake will matter..
Thank you!!! We were at least 4 meters above the ground to avoid a strong wind caused by the drone, but still it had some effect! Not easy to fly in the rain forest. But the snake was ok and was still doing its business.
@@LivingZoology @Living Zoology True; can understand that, with the dense regeneration of middle canopy plants... good job though. BTW, @10:02 is it the species a eastern coral snake that we study as a part of Batesian mimicking.
Another smashing short film on this beautiful Boss snake. No hystrionics; no maltreatment. Perfect. Thank you! Did i spot terciopelo and a banded krait in the herpetofauna montage? Oh and that pig's a real party animal. :D
@@robinvann6663 Not really, there are big differences in movement style of vipers. Check this ones, completely different style of movement: th-cam.com/video/t_ei89Dflso/w-d-xo.html
Beautiful animals. How sad I felt seeing that one in a jar. People don’t stop to think that there’s a reason for everything. I watched a short video this guy from Texas did, went out and found a den of Diamondbacks and dropped equipment in on them, stirring them up. It was awful! And the comments section - I got sick of seeing all the “gas and matches” or “twelve gauge” ones who think all snakes need to be killed. I thought of the rodent plague in New South Wales, and how they’d welcome snakes. People are really cruel. They think snakes hunt people down just to bite them. Ignorance can be funny but those people aren’t laughable, they’re just too cruel. Snakes are “mean?” What don’t they think they are? Thank you, guys. Excellent work! I hope the bushmaster numbers go up.
It is indeed extremely sad to see people killing snakes out of hatred and misunderstanding. We hope that education about these animals can change things. That's why we chose to do this work. We are so happy that we can present snakes in their natural habitat and show that they are not evil. Thank you very much for watching this video! :)

It was a pleasure to film the great work of your team! For all viewers, the links are in the description under the video, everybody go check the website and Facebook of Bushmaster Conservation Project!
Speaking of all things Aussie, why is a snake in Central & South America called a 'Bushmaster" when the term bush is more widely utilised here in Australia? No, I'm not being silly but I thought it would have a cool Hispanic name like the Fer De Lance.
It'd be good to have narrative for people who want to learn about the snakes , it's hard to read and watch the snakes at the same time but very easy to listen and watch
Unfortunately, we cannot afford a narrator for every video. But each year we produce a longer narrated documentary -longer nature history stories. Check them out: th-cam.com/video/3gtEBJntLuY/w-d-xo.html
Wow, check out the snake here 9:56. You've got to be careful out there. As they say, 'red touching black, safe for Jack. Red touching yellow, kill a fellow'.
Are beautiful. As a farmboy with the smaller pit vipers rattles, copper heads, and cottonmouths. I would have loved to find one in jungle training.was there never saw.
They look a bit different and also there are 2 species in South America. Their background color is usually more dark, one of them reaches similar sizes as the Central American one and the second one is smaller in general. Don't worry, Fer-De-Lance will come ;)
Tracking is really interesting way to study behaviour (if it is really invasive). I have result for tracking of some specimens of Macrovipera schweizeri on Milos Island. And it will allows us tu understand their moves and try to avoid fatal collision on roads.
Yes, it is very interesting! It can provide information about the life of snakes which was not known before. So you work with schweizeri?? It would be interesting to film a video about this species!
@@LivingZoology Unfortunately not in the field. I am a snake lover and I have contacts with some scientists who works on snakes in Europe and in the world (hybridisation aspis x latastei in Spain , determination of genetics of Natrix natrix complex, the try to decrease fatal accident and mortality on endemic species especially schweizeri and other project). I have make observations on one of the best spot of Natrix helvetica in my country (belgium have only three snakes). But I work in the field for Gembloux as freelance nature observer and counting of dragonflies species. I have publish some informations about that (if you want to find something about me you can search about Oxygastra curtisi in "les naturalistes belges", 2015 I have do some observations about night metamorphosis). Thanks for your interest and I will say you that I admire your work very much. I wait your footage about the Lachesis. And for the rest do you have find the gargantilla?
@@limoucheu8522 Ok, still interesting! We are thinking about making a short documentary about schweizeri in the future, so it would be cool to film some research work also. Nice that you work with dragonflies! How many species you have in Belgium? Thank you for following our work, filming Lachesis was cool! Unfortunately, we did not find gargantilla, maybe next time!
Here in South America bushmasters are legendary snakes. They might only bite when they feel threatened but when they do it is VERY serious. In Brazil they (lachesis muta) represent 2.3% of snakebites (they are quite rare) whilst Bothrops snakes are responsible for 90%. However, bushmaster envenomation's are 3 times more lethal with a fatality rate of 1% (antivenom for most snakes are widely available in the Public Healthcare system, although often hours away from the accident site). Also, the antivenom only prevents systemic problems, local problems leading to amputation are common. In the State of Bahia a 7 year old stepped on one and died in 15 minutes. In 2005 in the State of Mato Grosso a 5 year old was bitten and entered shock in 30 minutes dying in 90 minutes. For all snakes there are 26.000 people bitten per year on average.
You are right that there is a high mortality rate after bites from bushmasters. It is also connected with the fact that these snakes live far away from civilization and when bites happen, the victims cannot get to the hospital within few hours.
Both snakes have a very potent venom and are capable of delivering huge quantities of it. Bushmaster venom shows hemotoxic, myotoxic, cytotoxic and neurotoxic activity, so it is very complex. Venom of Russell's viper is cytotoxic and hemotoxic, there are some neurotoxic components in some populations also.
They are also found in Trinidad.. the lachesis muta...maybe you all cud start some kind of conversation as they are regularly killed once stumbled upon
I really love these videos. No distractions, no sound effects, no narrations. Nature in its own glory
Glad you like them!

Thank you for watching! We are saying that bushmaster is the longest viper in the world.
How poisonous are bushmasters comparing to Russell vipers
Both snakes have a very potent venom and are capable of delivering huge quantities of it. Bushmaster venom shows hemotoxic, myotoxic, cytotoxic and neurotoxic activity, so it is very complex. Venom of Russell's viper is cytotoxic and hemotoxic, there are some neurotoxic components in some populations also.
