Adam's "Oooohyeah" was fucking hilarious.
Right?
I appreciate the temperature readings in Celsius. Always do that, Dav.
Dāv needs to move to Canada already 🤠😉🤞🏼
Absolutely loved the humor in this episode! From Adam's gecko call HHHHHYEEEAAHHH! To giving birth to chameleons at the end of the video when Dayyan pulled on his gloves both had me dying lmao. These videos give me so much joy I love seeing every one's new episodes and the same animals with different commentary and perspective!
Really glad you enjoyed!
I really appreciate how all of you youtubers collaborate and help out each others channels. I wish I could go on these trips with all of you you are living the dream.
We are all really good friends
Couldn't watch the live feed invasive or not. I am enjoying your adventures in Madagascar with your group!
OMG! The fate of the remaining forest is so dismal. It’s heartbreaking. Although it’s greatly reduced, I’m so glad you have this opportunity to experience, and film it. Those lemur are beautiful. Such an inconceivable loss, for charcoal. 😢
I totally agree!
Adams “HUNNNNNNN YEHHHHHH” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
It definitely awakened something in me that I didn’t know was there 😳😳
@@moshpitjo1146 exactly 😭🤣
Hand feeding wild snakes!!!! That's awesome! Also those were some awesome finds, from the parson to the mossy tailed gecko
Glad you enjoyed!
Gecko feeding makes me sad, invasive or not.
No problem with the food chain when the animal has a fair chance.
Other than that great video.
Addams mating call 🤣. 🦎
Great way to start my morning! Love watching your videos! Adam's gecko call had me dying 🤣🤣
Me too
I love that you included the snake feeding. Vid was great as all of these have been but so far this ending was the best. 🤣
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed!
Cute frog! I'm definitely going to have Vincent stuck in my head the rest of the night too!
That was epic Dav. So happy you managed to get to Madagascar. Those chameleons were huge. I was hoping that big one Bill took off your shoulder was going to shoot its tongue at Bill and pull the specs right off his face.😂
That would have been cool!
Reptile Rock (band), Rattle On Band... The possibilities are endless 😜
I like it!
Dāv, you never cease to amaze me with all the amazing herps you feature on your show. RATTLE ON!!!
Thanks! I really appreciate that!
Fantastic wildlife. I hope some of the forest there is saved and the wildlife survives.
Such a fun video man! Thanks for sharing our adventure like this! 🤠
Glad you enjoyed it!
"The Minnegascar Frogboyz"
Thanks you guys for being awesome together! That video just got rid of my anxiety for today.
You are a big guy so that Giant Parsons Chameleon is huge and gorgeous!! This trip had to have been just amazing. It is so absolutely beautiful. O, love the "BAD Girl" on the back of the truck. Everything is amazing in this video. So lucky to be able to make a trip like that happen. Love the frog skit and singing!!! You and Adam are absolutely perfect travel buddies!!! Thank you so much for this video!!
I agree. We are.
Epic trip man.
Those are some amazing reptiles
#RattleOn
Thanks Lance!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures any time
Good morning dāv, yesssss more Madagascar videos. So awesome and such amazing animals. That has to be coolest job to ever have. Have an awesome Saturday
Thanks! You too!
This is, uh, was a tree frog.....OMG I was laughing (and learning) so much at this part! So glad you left the bloopers in!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My absolute favorite! Those cute little guys always get me. I didn’t realize they could claw so badly. Makes total sense though. Keep those videos coming. ❤
wow that leaf tail gecko co ol...what a great experience in that jungle
The Herpin’ Squatch or Squatches - band name
Dav I wonder how much rain forest was cut down for that hotel your staying at!! I follow your channels and love what you do!! It makes me feel sad when you talk about all the rain forest disappearing! Thank-you for sharing all the places that I could never go! Be safe and rattle on!✌️✌️
Poor Dav. Do chameleons have sharp talons? Sorry, I couldn’t resist. Loving the Madagascar videos. The lemurs are so beautiful! Thanks for showing all the awesome animals.
Lol. Glad you enjoyed
Great, great video!!! Congratulations!!!
Mad Agascan Band
Thank you!
Dāv……I just got my March/April issue of “Reptiles Magazine”. Excellent interview of you. I really enjoyed reading it. Well done!🐍❤️🐍
Amazing all your videos are very very good it looks like a lot of fun❤
It was!
“Shaved” apes? That rules Dav, Adam and Dion out then.
Lol
Very cool trip. Thanks for sharing Dâv.
Glad you enjoyed it
Finally a Madagascar video with mostly other than chameleons !!! 🎉❤
Hilarious video! Beautiful animals 💚. Yes, definitely form a band - The Herpees would be a suitable name, don't you think? 😂
Thanks Dav! I’m so glad ya’ll had fun!
We really did!
Nice little interview in Reptiles magazine!
Thanks! Just got mine today
Today I learned that 11k meters is more in feet. Thanks Adam and Dav😂 loving this series on both channels
Great video as always Dāv! I’m really enjoying watching these videos about your trip!
Thank you! Glad to hear it!
Dav that is so cool. To seeing the largest lemurs in Madagascar and feeding a wild snake AND all the reptiles it is just amazing. Your whole team if youtubers and other helpers is called “The Fellowship of the Chameleons
The size of that Chameleon is crazy.
Right?
Omg that deforestation is heartbreaking!! No 😢 thats not okay! Imagine if something bigger and stronger than us came around and tore down all our cities and homes. Its so sad. Those poor animals 💔
Another knock out vid! Keep killin it, stay amped and rock on! Have great safe weekend!
I never realised that do much deforestation was for charcoal loved the starry frog 🐸
Awesome 🤣🤣
"Dāv and the Reptilians"
You DEFINITELY shouldn't quit your day jobs 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I absolutely adore these videos with a lot of great people making great memories together. Only one negative about the video though; my blood pressure went up when you were talking about the lost habitat. Humanity sucks 😔😔😔😔
First video of yours i watched. Are there any Herping groups in MN? I am way north though.
So sick love it man
This is amazing content glad to have the insight behind the destruction of the habitat there as well really with there was something we could do to prevent such a diverse ecosystem from being destroyed
Loved it
Thanks!
I just saw your super thanks! I really appreciate the support! Thank you!
Realy nice video 😎💪
Was that Chad Brown on the ship your reptile plug lol?! I know that I met Chad Brown in Daytona in 2009 but I couldn't tell if it was him.
Awesome Video Dav Muffin, thanks for sharing!
Muffin?
Reptallica on tour now
I would love to know if you came across any pictus geckos while you were out there, would love to see what their habitat looks like and compare it to mine own enclosure.
The starry night tree frog is STUNNING!!
It's heartbreaking seeing the destruction of such a lush forest island and knowing the government could do something about it, but chooses not to.
I agree
Sorry Dav I hit the send bottom instead of auto correct. I can understand doing a little deforestation for some civilization but critically endangering wildlife is not the way to go about it. Its natural for wildlife to live in their environment and some zoos are nice to provide that and hopefully help keep the species from extinction. As much as I hate to say this but humans are responsible. I don't call people that don't care about wildlife at all human but people that want to help preserve wildlife are human if that makes sense.
This is what happened (and is still happening right now as I explain) to New Zealand only it seems unrelentingly faster & to a greater extent in Madagascar.
First in NZ, the arrived indigenous population burnt down small areas ( mostly on the plains I think) for growing the introduced root crop Kumara, hunting the giant Moa bird as a rich source of land based protein.
Apart from introducing the Kiore rat & making the Moa extinct & the world's biggest ever Eagle extinct ( probably man killing) likely depredation was not nearly as bad as when 19th century Europeans/Pakeha burnt & chopped down huge areas of native Bush and forest for pastoralism.
Large Paddocks/grass run holdings created for sheep & cattle, chopping down huge native Kauri Trees for buildings. Kauri lumber was one of the primary timbers that went into building San Francisco as well as Sydney & early Auckland. The large NZ city that has just flooded badly near it's Waitakere West Ak.rainforest, in Muriwai & Piha.
The Kauri gum industry for Copal varnishes for the flooring industry lead to ancient swamps being dug up as well.
The issue very much in the news right now in New Zealand (which other countries may soon have to confront), is that of exotic pine monoculture planted (often) by oil industry 'carbon guilters'.
Pinus radiata in NZ which grow much faster in NZ than where they originated. In many NZ habitats they are unsuited ( next to native Bush & scrub where they take over through wilding pines) or on precarious slopes where they suck out minerals leaving cavities & root tunnels that allow water to erode the hillsides further.
When the more unscrupulous
practise of slash forestry is used, the less commercial portions of the pines are left on the hillsides. These aren't small twigs/branches but often huge length & diameter logs unprofitable to process or remove.
When the now inevitable Cyclones pass by (or increasingly over), the huge rain dumps bring down the slash logs which create huge dams & clog rivers, estuaries & line beaches. So far mainly on NZs N.Island East coast.
The out flowing drainage of the whole river is usually effected as has happened in the last two weeks during Cyclones Gabrielle & Hale. Massive destruction of low lying orchards, habitation & the very pastures that denuded flatland coastal shrub & forest. Much of the alluvial fertile silt mud swept out to sea or into thousands of houses.
Industries like Manuka honey bee propagation may ensure at least some native Manuka /Kanuka shrub survive to give larger native trees a chance to take over in succession.
NZ has protected some areas with reserves & national parks. I suspect to a much greater degree of enforcement than Madagascar has or is even capable of.
Both countries share history of giant bird megafauna, very distinct herpetology etc. Some bright green diurnal geckos a feature of both Phelsuma/ Naultinus. NZs breed at a much slower rate due to live bearing pairs- often intermittently.
Sanctuaries free of rats and mice have increased the chances somewhat, some expensively fenced off or others as islands in the Hauraki gulf/Northland/Cook Strait's Stephen's island where introduced mammalian predator naive Endemic frogs, lizards, birds & Tuatara are *mostly free from rodent/ cat & mustelid predation.
I only suffered minor injuries in Cyclone Gabrielle but still intermittently isolated like many in the upper North Island due to huge roading, rail slips & floods/silting.
One day the hills near many people may descend down dramatically if natural hydrology is tampered with, or slash is not removed. If the CC 'elephant in the room' is forever denied, or scientifically based effective mitigation postponed by our politicians.
I literally want to be you! G.O.A.T (P.S I've asked before, but how on earth do you survive as a TH-camr, income-wise)
It takes year to grow a channel. Just keep at it
that is so awesome amazing
This video is awesome Dav.. I wish i still had the photo that I had taken of a lemur at a walkthrough exibit at a zoo standing next to me holding the wheel of my chair. I'm unsure if it was an indri or a black and white ruffed lemur but it was awesome,
That would have been a cool experience
Omg Adam giving birth!
lol!
It's beautiful and amazing, but it's sad how much has been destroyed. There are so many species endemic to madagascar that will just be gone soon 😥
I know. It’s really devastating
That frog 😍😍😍
Don McLean would be proud
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Next one in spain, this march's 4 theres obe expoterraria in Madrid... waiting for U...
I’m afraid Adam told a fib. When someone asked him what his favorite thing about Madagascar was on his live stream he literally said; “being robbed.”
Whoever took Adams stuff please give it back and he won’t tell the RCMP.
Thank you.
😂
no no, the question was most memorable. haha
@@WickensWickedReptiles
I sit corrected!
🤣
I cant wait till i get oustalets eggs! I have all females at the moment...raising them up...Im geeked! Such cool footage you all got!
Let me know when you have them. I may be interested.
Cool I only have pogonas and baby XJ but I want new tipes, here in spain there are only henrylawsoni and vitticeps
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures will do
@@roswaldo3093 Spain is one of my favorite countries :)
@@surfpanther haha thx, it’s not my favourite one but I can’t change where I born. Now we are on politic war by the new law that will stole us our reptiles (it’s more difficult than that but thats a resume).
You should name the band Reptile Rehab 😂. I don't know Dave it just sounds good 😂
This was funny 😂
What kinda gecko was that it looked kinda cool
Amazing❤
Are there any charities for alternate cooking fuel or forest replanting for Madagascar? Something you could link us to?
If you add a guitar 🎸 with some distortion, Dav..... some Killer drums, you guys could turn your little song into a band worthy jam.
In another life i give up all my worldy things an live in the rainforest to never be seen again
I’m seconds away from doing that
11,000 meters? man your higg lol
Awesome
What can we do to decrease deforestation. I can understand some civil at in on
Dave put like 10 ads on this one 😳
TH-cam auto adds them. I’ll remove some when I get back to my studio.
You and adam need to do a colab channel together
We might
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures Ill be the first to sub. You two make a hell of a team
name your band "Herp Albert."
So glad that you defend good zoos.
I always will
If I remember correctly, even zoos have trouble keeping indri alive, from what I recall there have been numerous attempts to keep them in captivity and, like the attempts with mountain gorillas, they’ve all failed.
Also, unfortunately like many African countries, Madagascar’s government is very corrupt, which is why they won’t be removing the natural gas tax any time soon 😕☹️
It’s true about the indris. Hopefully it’s a matter of time before it’s figured out
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures yeah
🥺
💜💚💜💚💜
60 c and the locals walking bare foot
They can’t afford shoes sadly
Lol I would be impressed if you were able to remain conscious at 11,000 meters.
So what can the rest of the world do about this coal situation
Thank you for feeding the invasive gecko to the snake. Not everyone is goofball enough to think you did some terrible thing by doing that. You helped the native wildlife.
Dave, I'm an old-skool wildlife biologist animal grabber too, but we need to come into the 21st Century and stop handling wildlife and use videos and cameras instead. If there is a disease outbreak anywhere on the island, it might not be visible and you might inadvertently spread it. This is why bat colonies are so protected now - people spread White Nose Syndrome that has already decimated vulnerable North American bat species. Chytrid fungus has been decimating frogs in the US for decades now. People kill coral by just resting or stepping on it and by swimming with sunscreen on (toxic to coral reefs). Handling is a minuscule stress, but as a role model you are passing on practices that are unsuitable for modern times when millions of people watch these videos and then try to handle every animal they find. When animals are handled, their survival is reduced but it is a cumulative effect, which means that once may not hurt them, but repeated small stresses reduce survival compared to animals not undergoing handling stress. We should be encouraging people to look at wildlife and not touch it. I am exactly like you and have always handled wildlife, but I don't think it is sustainable in the days of social media, drones, and heavy human disturbance in remaining natural areas. I think we need to reserve handling for special occasions and use disposable gloves. Covid even passed from humans to wild deer populations in the states - completely invisibly but it happened.
Also, since y'all are so high (in elevation, of course!😉🤫) ...besides pterodactyls🦅& drones🛸in the sky... 🤔...
...u guys need to watch out for them "balloons" made in China...⛅🎈☁🌲🌲⛰🧑🦯👨🦯🚶👣👣🏞🌳🌲| 🤣😂
P.S. - *Wickens Wicked Mating Call Cringe* 😬 @4:06 🦎🗣📢❌❌❌ @4:06 😆😂
Nice animals and large chameleons. No need to feed a gecko to a snake intentionally. The term invasive is meaningless about small lizards that have traveled worldwide. Madagascar has real issues, and a house gecko isn’t one of them. Furthermore, the natives may not have the western notion of invasive, like in all traditional cultures.
You might need to stop doing so many videos and take up singing. You and Dayaan could be the next boy band.
That's what I said lol
