I am from this part of the world. Agumbe is backyard. At my parent's place we have a mini forest for a garden. In the monsoon season we occasionally see a King cobra nest. Yes, She builds a nest to lay her eggs. These cobras are very intelligent creatures. If you notice in this video she never strikes. Only raises her hood as a warning. If it was a spectacled or monocled cobra it would have had at least tried 3-4 strikes. Kings will rarely strike unless required. Despite living in a place with plenty of king cobra around, we have never heard anyone being bitten/killed by a king. Its always the other cobras or a viper that bites/kills.

This is a very intelligent animal. Doesnt want to go into the bag, maybe learned from experience. Very reluctant to bite, althought it has the speed and power to make life very sketchy for the handler. Also, I think the handler was taking too many risks. He was easily in the strike zone many times and if the King cobra used its speed, he would have had a hard time getting out of the way. Even tickling the tail to get it into the bag was super sketchy as the cobra could have easily made a U turn and struck through the bag, especially as the snake stick was not always blocking the opening. In any case a majestic creature and very intelligent indeed.
@nunyadambusiness69022 жыл бұрын
Actually, he didn't take ANY chances at all. This was about a 9 foot snake, which means his flash range is 4.5 feet - the rule of halfs. A snake can only strike at half it's body length, so as long as you stay outside THAT range, the snake could flash at you ALL DAY LONG, & not reach you - gravity always wins. The OTHER rule he was using is the rule of thirds, which says as long as you stay AWAY from the front 1/3rd of the snake (the business end), & use a hook, he can pull a u-turn on you 10 times, and you can always use the hook to keep his head AWAY from you... You just have to make sure you DON'T hesitate. The second the snake turns back on you, you start guiding it. The other thing he did was with the tail. If you'll notice, every time the snake reared on him, he started at the end of the tail again. Which meant he was farther away from the snake & the snake didn't feel cornered. These snakes only flash you if they feel cornered or threatened. That's why some people have cobras living in their homes & NEVER get bit... The most dangerous part of the whole thing was when he was getting it out of the tree. I would NEVER let a snake just drop on the ground like that. It's like punching a human in the stomach & a lot of times, the snake gets pissed. He probably did it for safety, but I wouldn't, if the snake wasn't alright reactive. Some of us do this AS A JOB, & it's all about the body language. I could teach you the rules in 2 minutes, but if you don't watch how the snake acts, you'll get bit. And hesitation is a BIG thing too. These snakes decide what they are going to do & they COMMIT to it. They aren't scared, because they have fangs. So YOU better be damn ready to commit to something too... They rarely miss what they aim at... The world record for king cobras is around 21 feet, in Thailand. That means he had over 10 feet of strike range 🤯🤦♂️🤯... Imagine trying to get that fker out of a tree... Takes at least 2-3 people to keep him from wrapping around your body...
@LivingZoology2 жыл бұрын
Thank you for watching our video. Ajay has huge amount of experience with King cobras. He is reading their behavior and knows what he can de in different situations. As you write, King cobras are very intelligent and peaceful, they rarely strike. This snake was actually quite defensive for a King cobra. Usually the rescue takes about 30 seconds. In general, Ajay did not do anything dangerous, this is how you handle a King cobra - peacefully, you read the snake's behavior, give it its space, etc. Of course if you do this with a Black mamba you will get into serious trouble. Every snake species behaves differently.

I told my boss that I would never work with taipans or mambas again. 1 of our mambas went from being tolerant to trying to strike & flash out at us every time someone even slides the door open on her vision cage.

Something I've not seen before in the capture of a venomous reptile, the way this guy repeatedly hooked the snake about mid-body and simply let the snake slide over the hook, only to get grabbed by the tail, as if trying to inculcate in the snake it is not being restrained, it is free to keep moving, to escape. Fleeing, lower threshold than fighting, when both options are operable, in the antipredator behavioral hierarchy of venomous snakes, any capture strategy that stimulates fleeing will automatically inhibit fighting, and this cobra spent much more time fleeing than reversing and threatening. But the guy made two serious mistakes, both at the end when the snake was in the bag-- but not quite. Guy had his hands on the loose neck of the bag, trying to constrict it, with first the handle of the snake stick resting on the side of the barrier leaving the bag neck loose enough for the snake's head to pass through. Then he reversed the snake stick and put the hook over the bag neck, this time leaving an even bigger opening around the still unsecured bag neck. Such mistakes, symptoms of emotional rushing, are most common at the end of a long pursuit when the pursuer is just trying to end it and rushes, just when proximity to the dangerous prey is greatest. This time he was lucky.
@LivingZoology2 жыл бұрын
Ajay has huge amount of experience and he solves many tricky situations during rescues. As you write, he is great in handling King cobras gently so they don't start to be very defensive. At the end it is visible that the snake is still pushing its head against the other end of the bag. Ajay knew that and that is why he was leaving the bag opened a bit. The key thing there was to close the bag properly asap before the King returns and it was easier in the way he did it.
@geist-02 жыл бұрын
@@LivingZoology More to the point, the entire strategy employed was inappropriate given the target, a large king cobra, one that does not seek darkness in attempting to flee, as this snake amply demonstrated. An appropriate capture apparatus would have been, for one example, a large sturdy net, openings smaller than the girth of the intended subject, with a large opening and a constricting device there attached the likes of a snare that could be INSTANTLY CONSTRICTED once the subject had passed. Nonetheless you can stress Ajay's "huge" amount of experience, at the same time failing to consider that (unknown to you) of this writer.

@@geist-0 You are completely wrong that King cobras don't seek dark holes. They do and normally the rescue looks like this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h5aph41qqZuJnrc This snake was an exception, we already filmed a nice number of Kings and 90 % of them go into the bag in 30 seconds. If there is a way how to safely and easily catch big diurnal snakes into a net, we would love to see it. We work with venomous snakes around the world and we never met someone using nets. For Kings it is easy to use bags, for mambas big buckets, big bag or bucket for a bushmaster, etc. Soon we will hopefully try taipans and other snakes in Australia.

This King cobra was quite defensive, usually it takes shorter time to put the snake into the bag.

That bag was not set up properly .. glad he did it though..
@LivingZoology2 жыл бұрын
It was set well, but the snake did not want to go in. It is a wild animal and does what it wants. Still, this rescue took about 2 minutes to be finished. Usually it is done in 30 seconds.

Ok so why is the video 13 min ... ? Should've made it a 30 sec video 😂

@@Ata_mata You did not notice that most of the video we are just observing the King as it moves in the treetops? :D Ajay was deciding if he should even rescue the snake but locals were scared and wanted him to take the snake somewhere else.

Hope the snake wasn't injured when the handler pulled it out of the tree and it flopped hard onto the ground.
@LivingZoology2 жыл бұрын
No, nothing bad happened to the snake. We have seen them falling down from a tree before naturally and it was fine. Snakes are very strong animals.

This is CRAZY. ... There's no shortage of King Cobras in India. ... If snakes like that lived where I live they would not be "rescued " when they got near me.

You obviously know anything about King cobra population in India. Kings are only in Western Ghats, Eastern Ghats and extreme north of India. They are not common.

@LivingZoology2 жыл бұрын
Because King cobras hunt only other snakes and monitor lizards. Also in general any snake is a bit stressed during the rescue and does not think about hunting.

@LivingZoology Жыл бұрын
King cobras are very shy and bites are super rare. However, if a bite happens, it is a very serious situation. As far as we know there is no antivenom in India so you need to hope for a dry bite.

Unprofessional and risky catch. The hole in the bag is too small and the bag itself is too small. The snake can turn back and bite anytime. High Risk.
