Full Animal Planet Documentary, Deadliest South Africa, Episode 1

[@allenkellogg7499]

I'm not sure what is crazier. The man giving a cobra scritches, or the cobra acting like my cat when he gets scritches.

[@brandonblackfyre5783]

You're amazing Kurdt. There is very few people like you on this planet and we are blessed to have you on KZbin so that we can witness the things you do. It's amazing seeing you get a job working with Animal Planet. This was a great documentary.

[@melissaf.5898]

I’ve been waiting for this ever since u mentioned u were getting a show. Congratulations. Can’t wait to see more.

[@mikebothwell2321]

Love this ! Saw this when you posed it on KZbin still awesome to watch! Love from Canada 🇨🇦

[@3rdvoidmen594]

In my two decades of watching people like you. There has never such a man in existence. You're unique in what you do and how you do it. Congratulations to Animal Planet for getting this gem.

[@johnschlesinger2009]

The Gaboon is a real beauty. Your understanding of all these animals is amazing.

[@eleanorgames2857]

It really is the most spectacular snake if you watch it move it seems like a toy or not real lol... biggest bite,fangs of any snake

Very good video. Just be careful mate. I know that you know what you are doing but just take care. I think you are doing a wonderful job in educating people about these misunderstood creatures.

That snouted cobra was amazing! I like this dude Kurt. I can just see him taking off as an animal doc guy 😁🐍💚

[@williamhile]

I just want to tell you that I can see you have very much respect for these animals as they should have very good job keep it up

[@shogun8376]

First time I'm seeing Kurt. The way he was treating that king cobra was amazing. I'm a fan now.

[@raysist5020]

King Cobra in Africa???? are you nuts???

@Ray Sist mate, he just doesn't know as much lay off

[@fandibataineh4586]

bro, have you been trained by Steve Irwin? your way of handling snakes bare handed is so impressive

[@timspringbok5745]

Lekker video boet keep up the great work

[@mrkipling2201]

Austin Stevens made a programme in the same place as where the puff adder was. I remember the same wall drawings.

[@dexmission]

How the hell does this only have 700 views…? That said, steel. They are made of steel.

[@wolf1985l]

Great vid!

[@andreaskrasmussen]

Ay i'm half way through, man i just gotta put this out there.... You are gonna get merked one of these days, but you are very brave indeed, nice content... tho i feel the risks involved is a bit on the reckless side.

[@cliffcampbell8827]

I always thought it was an asp that killed Cleopatra. There are ways to showcase an animal without touching it which is (in my opinion) the best way to present wild animals to a wide audience. I believe the more of these wildlife "experts" handle wildlife, the more those actions encourage random people that happen upon similar animals in their respective areas (or different depending on their vacation destinations) because they saw an "expert" handle one which usually results in damage or even death to the person but almost always to the animal. I know it takes longer to show off all of the animal's features without touching it but it can be done. Wild animals are after all...wild and should remain so, with no physical contact from humans (unless it is to remove one from a home or if it is stuck in something made by humans).

[@brandonblackfyre5783]

Would love to see you reach out and do some videos with Chandlers Wildlife or Dingo Dinklemen. Dingo I'm sure you probably know about since hes also in your neck of the woods in South Africa but Chandler is in the USA but owns a lot of the snakes you work with in the wild. I would love to see you meet up and make some videos with these guys! Dingo would be easier since hes in South Africa already. I know South Africa is huge so you guys might be further away then I think. Dingo lives on the outskirts of a larger city I believe. I know Chandler wants to come to South Africa and it would be amazing if he could come out with you and Dingo. That would be the best video all year.

[@karthikgymmer4719]

Broh you next level

[@irvinpamana]

Great content indeed......I didn't know that we have a Gaboon Viper in South Africa, I have always thought they are mostly found in Central Africa

Kzn province is special…Gaboons and eastern green mambas there

Love Kurdt Greenwood! The REAL animal whisperer!

[@mich1953]

Amazing

[@coleensteve4753]

Kurdt Greenwood: Whoooah, what a big beautiful snake, he looks so angry. Snake: I just wanna be left alone Mr.

[@Mangos37]

Im watching kurdt bringing the unseen to the human eyes

[@CarlYoungII]

Never has my anxiety been so high while watching a documentary. That full grown puff adder was pissed and he's just under the impression "oh it's not that aggressive" per se. I would never do this as a career. Extremely dangerous!! But thrill and danger brings excitement to some people lives.

[@samworrall7851]

Seriously.. this guy is on parr with Steve Irwin and Austin Stevens.. he deserves so much more exposure

[@scotthurley4967]

And you seen what happened to Steve!! Love this stuff, but It will happen sooner or later. Sorry

[@samworrall7851]

@@scotthurley4967 what happened with Steve Irwin was a freak accident.. the way he handled snakes was ground breaking. Austin Stevens is the same.. the way these guys (including Kurdt) read the snakes is mind blowing

Another title for this video would be "Kurt's petting zoo"

[@arrowzen7433]

Playing with a snouted cobra like that is incredible, tarrifying and very very risky. Unbelievable.

[@usmaanhussain6308]

Be interesting to know what experts like Mike Perry and Jason Arnold think of his handling of the banded snouted cobra

[@aldenunion]

See the Doc where Mike has a "GaG" in his home that he gets guests with?.. Fake in a enclosure in his home he taunts until spectators realize is hoax. His stubbed finger should tell what he thinks. I wonder if feeding response has something to do with it.? Is no such thing as gift with it, people always get tagged sooner or later pressing luck. Vava Suresh many times. Mirza MD Arif has villages counting on him,so he cannot be away healing. He is by the book, but did see a Cape Cobra make it to India somehow,maybe shipping container . It almost got him,latching onto the thigh of his camo pants. Just hurts reputations of the animals to allow mishap,they cannot help how they were made. I revisit the facility Doc's of Mike's and just realized Jason's rescue channel. I enjoy them both.

[@mrkipling2201]

I like Jason Arnold. Brilliant snake catcher and handler.

[@owenmutasa3819]

I used to hate and fear snakes. Now, because of Kurt, I only fear them.

[@kendallkahl8725]

Something about heavy bodied venomous snakes like Diamond back Rattlesnakes, Bushmasters, Puff adders, River jacks and such makes the impression that they are the thugs of the Snake world.

[@TagmakersCoUk]

Hmmm I seem to remember an Australian macho called Irwin who also liked to tempt fate. This is not so much a wildlife video as a playbook of showoff whose obituary we will be reading in the (near) future.

[@Oldoclandis]

Yep

[@drtalkboxsa9412]

And while most people seem offended by this type of comment…..I agree 100% with you. Steve was too confident for his own good, and too careless at times. Yeah you might have been a handler from the age of 4….. but the snakes didn’t get that memo

[@sreynin6526]

watching him try to touch their heads everytime gave me mini heart attacks. i need some tea to calm me down xD

[@yotehunter3468]

Almost positive this is a re-run video from a year or 2 ago...

[@NerinaRSA]

Ja a compilation.

[@dariuskasian1977]

in my opinion the sea saw scale viper is the fastest striking viper not the puff adder .....

[@deeparente5376]

it .akez me nervous 😓

[@raystoric2175]

This guy has the bravery of a thousand men.

[@Surfer041]

He's a professional.

[@d-block8803]

Question: 2 different snakes with the same venom but different species would one venom be stronger than the other ? Etc... If a mamba is neurotoxic and a cobra has the same venom would they be the same, or does it differ because they have other venom also? Hope I didn't confuse you

[@Mooooty]

This appears to be an older video.

[@Dooni_booni]

וואו. מכל האנשים שמתעסקים עם נחשים אתה הכי מיוחד ומבין אותם כאילו מדבר את השפה שלהם

[@biggunna8863]

Clearly the puff adder wanted to get off the hot surface of the rock.

[@ryanocarroll6426]

The Steve Irwin of South Africa

[@ericmurphy8789]

Made me absolutely a nervous wreck just watching him with that cobra. I swear if it would have bitten him I would of died too!! 😮

[@sparkythestyracosaurus8424]

Egyptian cobra still existed in northern parts of Africa, Snouted Cobra is formerly a subspecies of Egyptian Cobra and already classified as seperated species.

[@mohamednagib2594]

Total stupid moves....just lucky the Cobra didn't strike.

[@HebrewHakaishin]

Why is this man harassing these snakes? The cobra never asked for you to touch him, now if he bite you dont play victim. Everyone watching this video dint try watch in this video at home. Respect nature, if you want to participate do so from a distance.

[@mrkipling2201]

He’s not harassing them. He’s trying to educate people about these animals. Also trying to show people that they’re not the monsters everyone thinks they are. If you don’t like him or the programme then stop watching. I say that genuinely, not as a salty comment. Respectfully. Good day.

[@dimifisher]

can u imagine his poor parents watching his videos!!

[@chemichaelteale5556]

amazing snouted cobra footage?incredible?

[@raysist5020]

Ok Kurt, you are the next Irvine, the way you respect and handle snake I respect you. not like this dinkelman ass or all the other handlers which use snake clamps insuring those fine spines and organs of the snake! You are the snake whisperer! thumbs ⬆ ⬆

[@shanemiller6982]

Does anyone know is Kurt is still alive? Watching this I fear his career will be short lived.

[@Oldoclandis]

If he is, it won’t be long The dude is just showing off ,..playing with fire ,…he will get burned

[@drtalkboxsa9412]

I know people don’t like comments like this…. But I agree with you guys. This guy is gonna get tagged bad. People always say… “he s an expert , he has been handling snakes all his life” But snakes didn’t get that memo Even Steve Irwin… I think he was too confident for his own good, actually careless

[@mikehenry7878]

​@@drtalkboxsa9412completely agree. Free handling these snakes is just plain stupid.

They are found in SA… only in KZN When you look at the distribution on the map… you do ask yourself as to how they ended there. But they are there

[@DarnizzleMan]

Way too many unnecessary risk wow

[@Pagnyni]

I wonder if I will ever come over a video where people can correctly pronounce the Latin names...

[@Tertia_Optio]

That is hard to watch him handle that cobra sniffing him aka about to strike and kill him while the silly gentle music is playing. Then I wonder if he's going to kiss the puff adder too. He's calming down. Just with a touch. He's still huffing a bit. This dude just wants to get handled by a deadly snake. God then he is looking st the camera while holding the lethal baby puff adder. He is a car accident.

[@Richie8614]

Too risky for how you go about it.

[@e.h.5849]

You are indeed exceptional, you know the animals you work with and trust your abilities to read them with your life. But please, do not allow yourself to be very comfortable in these highly dangerous situations, even with advanced knowledge, there always are unknown unknowns that could potentially cost you your life. Snakes may get triggered by something that is beyond the scope of your own ability to realize. You may have picked up some scent that they can suddenly smell and it may well be a scent of their predators.... I may be comfortable having cobras within striking range, if I'm not interacting too much with them. I'd let them crawl over my body, no problem. But I wouldn't move. What you;re doing is of the kind of daredevilness Alex Honnold is famous for in free solo climbing. But please, do not rely on predictability, where the unpredictable is the rule of the game. But I very much like what you do. I haven't seen anyone doing this so far.

[@bruce5799]
