The venomous snakes of Africa - RAINFORESTS, Forest cobra, Green mamba, bush vipers, Gaboon viper

[@95db97]

There is just something mesmerizing, and terrifying about venomous snakes. Primal fear and respect for such creatures.

[@LivingZoology]

We agree that these animals are amazing and special. That is why we travel around the world in search of them! :)

[@birdflipper]

I love how the gaboon viper moves, almost like it has locomotion. They are also one of the most gorgeous snakes on the planet.

[@SchroderCat]

I find them fascinating as well. :)

[@richardcapello2684]

Yes Sir...and the size of those fangs...amazing

[@601Gremlin]

I agree the gaboon is beautiful

[@LivingZoology]

We agree!

[@hillbilly4christ638]

Rhinoceros viper!

[@IonIsFalling7217]

I find the mambas to be exquisitely beautiful. Such incredible snakes. And the ground dwelling vipers stunned me with how much they look and move like caterpillars!

[@LivingZoology]

Africa has some gorgeous snakes for sure! Thanks for watching!

[@glennhynes5263]

The cinematography is almost is as beautiful as the snakes. The initial rhinoceros viper shot was perfect.

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you for watching! :)

[@zeusdeuce7438]

Those bush vipers are so beautiful. Love the way their scales protrude

[@LivingZoology]

We agree, true dragons among snakes!

[@rjzavala87]

They really are, arent they? Almost cruel that theyre so deadly. Would love to hold one.

[@rmunthe9tahunyanglalu794]

Yeah bush viper is one of my top 3 snakes, red headed krait and blue insularis are the others

[@majbeardd1905]

Incredible that some of the locals see the value of these creatures in the wild! Week done!!

[@RenegadeRanga]

The african snake hunter was a cool dude. Great to see local conservation. Teaching kids to not be afraid but just avoid the vipers and he took good care of them. I hope they are treated well by the purchaser.

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, he is a good man! Thank you for watching our videos!

[@ryanreedgibson]

Those green Mabas are stunningly beautiful. Actually, I take that back! Every creature in this video is STUNNING. A real credit to the platform.

[@LivingZoology]

[@erinobrien8408]

I met up with an Eastern Green Mamba not far from Malindi, a coastal community in Kenya. It was beautiful! I kept my distance but photographed it going up a whitewashed wall into the horse barn.

[@LivingZoology]

Nice! These snakes are beautiful!

[@passengerintime26]

Big Up's to the snake catcher... Catch for, educational purposes, exports some and releases the rest and holds a valid permit... You're the man my guy... 👍👌Surving with Nature...

[@LivingZoology]

We are very proud that we could work with locals in Uganda for several years and show them how to value snakes in another way than just selling them abroad. This hunter is now our friend, we financially support his kids so they can go to school and he educates locals about these animals :) It is great to see that some snakes are coming back to their natural habitat.

[@igorsvacic217]

man, pangolines are one of the coolest animals ever PS. That allways repeated thing about gaboons having the longest fangs, I doubt that very much. And also, what it is, a record or average. Is it two snakes of same lenght, of same age....its all messy. Also gaboons are VERY curved while bushmaster for example have almost straight dagger like fangs, which are longer almost allways if we measure in straight line fro the root to the point PPS. That rhyno was stunningly beautyfull, and that jamesons mamba was super dark, crazy, colourwise not even looking like a mamba

[@LivingZoology]

Thanks for watching! The longest fangs of the Gaboon viper measured were we believe 5.5 cm long, bushmasters have just a little bit shorter fangs. We agree that those Rhino vipers and Jameson’s mambas look awesome!

They have horns to protect from head-on attack by other animals ....the horns stab into the predators head when they try to bite down.
