A massive thank you to Karl and Mara for all their epic snake milking adventures over the years! 🙌 Truly the deadliest job in America! Which DEADLY job should we spotlight next?

An Angry Black Mamba vs An Angry King Cobra. Whom would you prefer to face if you had no choice?

Cool 😅

I would love to see a collab with Kevin Richardson (The Lion Whisperer)! 🦁

[@robertdiehl1281]

The black mamba being 12 feet or longer with such a potent venom displays something that I’ve only noticed in king cobras. Confidence. They seem to be very aware of just how deadly they are. Excellent work and video Coyote

[@kevinchandler179]

I agree totally!!! Black Mamba is the real king of the jungle in Africa!!! They have been known to bite a lion 🦁 and within 3 to 4 hours, lion dead!!!! Lol

[@rolandhess9433]

but Black Mambas are much more aggressive and faster than King Cobras. Very terrifying!

[@kwilliams3490]

Same with really big Eastern Brown Snakes here in Aus. They definitely have the 'f#@! around and find out' attitude going on.

[@Do0msday]

These snakes are absolutely terrifying, but also amazing as well. I'm glad that Karl and Mara clearly show respect when it comes to handling them and recognizing the danger. Even though they're in an environment that they can control they still realize that a snake is like a loaded gun and to treat it carefully no matter how "safe" you think you may be. The communication during the process was key and the results were outstanding. It amazes me just how fast the venom is released and takes hold. Kudos to them because the only way science can be used to make improvements to help others is by having people obtain samples to begin with. It's dangerous, but necessary. Great video.

[@mattybhoy6522]

Agree 100%. I'm a south African from Durban, went away with a group of friends to this area called the Umkomaas valley. It has the highest density of black mambas in south Africa. We saw 2 Black mambas there. 1 darting across the water whilst river rafting, the 2nd in a tree off the path we were hiking. We were also told that a week prior a black mamba was found in one of the accommodations bathrooms and was removed and that we must be very aware of our surrounding. I've never been in such a heightened sense of awareness in my life whilst just doing simple mundane tasks 😂. Was awesome though

[@Do0msday]

@@mattybhoy6522 I have a hard enough time just watching out for copperheads and common water snakes when I'm fishing. If there was anything like a black mamba around I'd be too on edge to be able to enjoy myself. They're amazing, but require complete awareness.

[@angelamarvin9481]

My favorite venomous snake is Carol snake or rattler

[@coryjamieson3171]

Coyote is taking breaks from stings, but he's still doing extreme stuff like handling deadly snakes. I love the snakes featured on this channel, it's really cool.

[@Lovell93]

Go watch Chandler's Wild Life! He has tons of venomous snakes and handles them in every video almost! He has crocodilians, as well! He's a bit more of the Steve Irwin style of handling but he's awesome!

[@Alita_Kazami]

As dangerous as these are, the snake milking videos are always my favorite

[@FartWessica]

Same

[@flickcentergaming680]

That green mamba was absolutely gorgeous. Such a bright, vibrant color!

[@GoodReads447]

I cannot believe Carl got bitten by mambas 3 times and still works doing the most dangerous job in the world while saving lives! 👍👍

[@FrostyFyre]

Just gotta say I freaking love Karl, you can tell how passionate and knowledgeable he is about snakes, and it is always a joy to see a professional practice their craft. He was a really good sport and always checking on the film crew to make sure they were comfortable and had good shots/angles before proceeding to the next step. Much love Karl!

[@blaizeblaizecayohotmailcouk]

Agree, especially with the black. However i think he eased of concentration when putting the black in the bin. This is where handlers get tagged especially by blacks. When working with hundreds of different species for so long you get afeel for whats safe and this guy is an expert even amongst the best, but its never save with a black until those latches clip into place. Enjoyed the video

[@CrestedSaguaro520]

I've been watching the Brave Wilderness channel for over 6 years now. I always look forward to these videos. I always enjoy learning new things from the channel! 😃

[@PremKChettri-hb9zl]

Look at his subs.. I also started watching him when no one knew him.. and that badger video when he was insulted.. but now he has huge footprint.. he doesn’t even shoot most of his channel videos now

[@EB-vz1ob]

If you're ever near DeLand, FL, I highly recommend visiting Reptile Discovery. Very cool place! Carl and Mara are really neat folks!

[@EksaStelmere]

When I was doing my driving job, mostly between Mombasa and Nairobi, I would hear a lot of sad stories about snake bite victims. It's pretty much something I fear more than even lions and wild dogs solely due to the fact that you can just bumble into it by accident.

[@joshma3305]

"100 percent fatality rate" ..." He's been bitten 3 times" 😂😂

[@davelister2961]

Yeah, but he immediately qualified it with "without antivenin".

He corrected that perception

[@Gunners_Mate_Guns]

It's almost as if the more beautiful the snake, the move venomous. Both the Black Mamba and King Cobra command instant respect.

[@HotHerps]

Good work Karl. I’ve been extracting from a wide range of snakes for 30 years, I generally find Black mambas calmer and easier than Jameson’s Mambas.

[@sierralovesroblox3508]

I love how Carl is so calm and Coyote is focusing so hard 😂😂😂

[@nathanlambshead4778]

I grew up in South Africa. I caught and kept snakes from 12 yrs old till into my 20s. I have handled most of them, and although I highly respect them all, I do not fear them. Except this one. Here I am, 65 yrs old and living in the rural northeast USA, and I am scared just watching a video of you handling a black. I have handled greens, which always seemed a little less apt to attack. But the black is too big, too strong, too fast, to smart, and too deadly for me to take on. Thanks for the video.

[@MrMyrick1980]

So…..

[@mikeclark4416]

Much ,Much respect to these Guys for doing what they do .

[@Magic_sk8board_media]

The green of that first Mamba was extraordinary!

[@BDCF100]

I saw an Easrern Green mamba in the wild in Tanzania this spring. Beautiful and what a surprise. We were looking for birds. And as far as a Black Mamba, I've seen several. Both on the tar road going north to Punda Marie rest camp in Kruger Park. The first one was laying across the road looking like a gun metal gray fire hose. Slammed on the brakes and scrambled to get the camera out the window. No luck, the snake turned on his body and streaked back across the road. Fast. Easily over 10 feet. The second sighting years later was a smaller version.

[@cindylee860]

Thanks for all the work you do to put these videos together. Love them all.

[@ly_lh09]

In the second to last episode Coyote asked what snake we thought he'd be milking, and I genuinely commented it would be a Black Mamba. I said it as a joke, didn't think it would actually happen. This is actually really awesome!

[@MJFUYT]

This man Carl is amazing to watch. Bless him for the great work that he's doing. 💯

[@Jenisonc]

15:26 Those 2 little "oh no" made my skin warm with nervousness..

[@AGnorTheChannel]

I'm not afraid of snakes, but one of my biggest fears as far as animals are concerned is to come into contact with a venomous species, regardless of whether it's a snake or anything else.

[@OlympusSnakes]

As a snake owner I go to a lot of expo's. And there are the venom rooms. Now these rooms are away from all other snakes, reptiles, amphibia's, rodents.... the room can immediately be closed off. The snakes sell enclosures parts are in a glass locked cage. Then their own box is also triple taped down, or with locks.... Last time we had some childs in the room. And the constant hissing.... rattling.... the kids started crying. I also have to admit.... hearing all those sounds.... its chills. Your complete instinct is just saying.... danger. I saw people freeze, run, back away. And these animals were locked in a box in a box. You know fear when they make themselves known.

[@PaulMiller54]

K​@@OlympusSnakes

[@MakaveliBanks]

The black mamba, for me, is the ultimate "dangerous" snake. Flighty, highly athletic, intelligent & calculated. That being said I do not want in any way to villainize these snakes, as Coyote said, they do not want to bite people, they want to get away from them & a bite is always defensive. They are imo one of the most majestic creatures on this planet.

[@groupersti]

I'm impressed he hasn't lost any of his finger joints...Alot of these handlers are missing stuff...LOL

[@siddharthreddy8980]

Would love to see a smart watch monitoring Karl's and Mara's Heart Rates while handling these snakes

[@itsOnMARS2023]

The Black Mamba is the most difficult snake to handle by far, the only two species that come close are the Australian Eastern Brown Snakes and the Coastal Taipans, those guys are very cranky and extremely difficult to handle as well.

[@Rebelconformist82]

Golds tree cobra. Not many have ever been caught. But one keeper said the he had to open the cage and quickly close it, as it came straight for him

[@adrianvanwyck2818]

I have met n Brown and a black in the wild. They behave alot alike with the head up, looking around always awear and very confident snakes

[@kevinlitton1399]

What about a boomslang? I've heard those are unhandleable. Also king cobras are just crazy big and aggressive.

[@Bamski391]

My daughter and I to this reptile center all the time! They’re amazing!

[@Ruben-nv7lu]

This cannot be coincidence, in the Netherlands, a green mamba escaped (and got caught alive again) just days ago!

[@Kn32982]

No the snake is stil on the run mate

[@Nebulamonke]

“I’m Coyote Peterson and I’m about to be bitten by 10,000 Venomous Black Mambas.” “2 Hours Later” Coyote: … was that a joke?

[@Jeff-gu6nb]

I was recently in South africa. None of the hospitals or clinics have any antivenom

[@sargentrowell81]

Finally some new content from this facility!

[@i.3315]

How does his facility protect these VENOMOUS Snakes from being stolen? Great video!

[@daniloandresbelloperez927]

muy pocos ladrones tienen los cojones de manejar serpientes así de peligrosas, no digo que no haya, el mercado negro de estas cosas existe pero los criminales que pueden manejar estos animales sin morir en el primer día no son muchos y casi todos trabajan capturando animales salvajes o en lugares de crianza clandestinos, donde no hay tanta supervición de las autoridades como sí habría en un recinto como este. Meterse en lugares como este es solo meterse en problemas con las autoridades, si es que la serpiente no te mete en problemas antes. Ya es suficiente con solo uno de esos problemas, mejor ir a robar a la selva

Black Mamba is without a doubt the most nerve racking snake I have ever owned. The speed with which they can react is simply amazing.

You evidently are not that bright.

[@AaronChristensen]

@@Micfri300 may I ask why you say that?

[@Micfri300]

​@AaronChristensen unless you are a scientist who extracts venom for medicinal purposes why anyone would have a snake in their house is bewildering. And then we wonder why there are so many pythons in the everglades..

[@Adam-nv9zo]

I'm surprised Carl doesn't need a wheelbarrow to carry his fortitude around in.

As soon as I saw the sign I knew you were in Deland! These two are fantastic, and they do great and interactive shows about snake milking and other reptiles- genuinely if you're ever in Deland looking for something to do, hit this place up if you can!

[@thewyattferrell]

I actually had a chance to go to this place last year in DeLand. I highly recommend going there if you're ever in that area. Super cool and they have a lot of other animals there outside as well. When I went I thought they would only be milking 2 or 3 snakes, but they actually did almost every kind of snake you can think of. It was very informational.

[@WesternIssue]

A massive thank you to Karl and Mara for all their epic snake milking adventures over the years! Truly the deadliest job in America!

[@GilaTack]

I have watched brave wilderness for a long time. Brave wilderness is actually a big inspiration for my channel. Thank you Coyote. My two favorite types of animals are reptiles and birds of prey and certain other birds like ravens and such and I’m not afraid of venomous reptiles so this is cool to me personally amazing animals just amazing one bird I know everything about is the California condor. I saw Chandler do some vids on them. They’re just amazing and gila monsters are some of my favorite reptiles. your vids are amazing you you’re an amazing person teaching people about these animals. Thank you coyote

[@callsigncustard65]

The black mamba is the only snake that scares me

[@Alita_Kazami]

A question I’ve always had: why are some snake venoms clear in color when others are a pure yellow?

[@dash8brj]

Biological - a bit like human blood is red, yet horseshoe crab blood is blue.

karl got bit by a mamba 3 times and lived?! holy cow- what an absolute beast he is 💪

[@puddingwitch3617]

Black mamba…I remember when one of my childhood’s favorite reptile youtuber died on stream due to black mamba’s bite and poison. He was experienced with snakes..when he was bitten and poisoned he called an ambulance and described everything that he felt. It was heartbreaking…especially when it was speculated that he chose to unalive himself that way…

[@RG-ja34sep]

It always fascinates me that a mamba’s head is shaped exactly like a coffin! Very scary!!!

Green mamba is incredibly beautiful though

[@Folse]

Is it just me or was the release a bit dodgy? 😅 my guy did not want to go into that trash can lol

[@stevenf5902]

I thought that too! You’d think that there would be safer ways of dealing with these snakes lol maybe some gear (anti-bite gloves or suit) to wear

[@craigk.235]

Karl is amazing, I've seen the videos that you did with him. Mambas are definitely amazing. Seeing one would make me nervous, I wonder who was the most nervous?

This past week I went to the Wichita Zoo and saw both a black and a green mamba, with triple-layer glass between us. I was still a little uneasy! Snake handling DEFINITELY is not for me!

[@FraGRINtWoOkiE]

I`m from South Africa, I do enjoy hunting, I`ve caught and dealt with a few black mamba`s in the wild. And trust me, it`s the only snake that always gives me the sweats. hunting season is normally mating season, don`t get between them and their lairs. The tried and trusted method is: back up slowly and choose a different route. They tend to just withdraw. I`ve caught one or 2 juveniles in the dark behind the farmhous. We are so used to Cape cobra`s(geelslang) that the only way you identify the mamba is when the motion sensitive lights come on and you see the inside of the mouth.

[@vladdevener5586]

O man that was absolutely insane 2 watch loved every moment all of the focus in that room was incredible those beautiful Mambas wore incredible especially the green 1 so beautiful & MAN we truly did love them all Brave Wilderness Channel tk u & tk u Coyote tk u Karl & tk u Mara 🙂🧡🖤💚🤍💛.

This is what I identify with Fear. Looking at those long, thin and curved fangs and noticing when the snake (that grabbed by the hand can't turn his head) tries to tilt the head on the side in order to escape and bite him, makes me understand how much skilled Carl and Mara have to be to deal with mambas. Only those who really love and respect snakes despite the danger they bring can try to learn this job. Thank You for your efforts and Service
