Puff Adder ambush - Serpent - BBC Animals

[plugindave]

how did they get a camera on that snake, shiiit

[bwmacp2006]

I started searching skate videos...HOW DID I END UP HERE

[jumpman3210]

thought it was gonna beast that but its hunting method classifies this snake as a pussy. waste of time n energy.

[superflydoublewide]

honey badger would kick its ass



[Danetron3030]

@superflydoublewide The Honey Badger did kick its ass. This was the snake that bit him and he took a little nappy poo for a couple hours but woke up and ate the shit out of the snake.

[alteregoash]

How the hell do they get some of these shots?

[DeathtoRaiden1]

Over Here...over here...

Turn Around...turn around...

[SinestroCW]

Amazing tools....wonder what puff adders taste like.

[BAYBAYLIONZ]

awwww i wanted 2 see a snake eat a mouse :(

[iseenofear]

3:04 the mouse pissed itself in fear xD

[StationZeroOne]

Future Weapons presents FUTURE SNAKES!

[sepzai]

we saw a puff adder in africa 2 years ago, it was about 25cm long and fat as fuck :DD

[BAYBAYLIONZ]

@sepzai Thats What She Said :D

[realsugarbabi4realz]

If I was a mouse and I knew I was being chased by a puff adder and had seconds to live I'd pee myself

[kiltor6]

I had one of these in my house for a while....it is pretty much the meanest SOB snake I've ever seen. Awesome.

[PuffSmelly]

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++­+

[FANTOMTRON]

what a lazy snake

[yelilove5]

2:32 the snake is sleepy hahaahah

[TIMHILLIS]

@ 0:05; how did they get that camera there!!!!

[TheAnuibis]

Puff Adders cause 80% of snake bites in Africa. If you go to Africa, don't go out in the woods at night and if you do stay to the trail.

[danielthomasslade]

@TheAnuibis it sounds like sticking to the trail may be worse. they snipe on trails that are used often by any animal, so the more busy the trail is, the more dangerous it might be, maybe?

[Clayguy247]

So basicly snakes rule and could be super geniuses, and are like all of the FBI's tracking machinery in one animal. Got it.

[EFCsoccer56]

That Puff Adder must be from the cape region due to its coloration

[Pewpewharhar]

am i watching science or biology?

[RobSchneeberger]

snakes are just amazing, all those acute senses yet such terrible eye sight just amazing

[aurelia200010]

omg...it's like an assasin highly trained....it has all the skills....i agree with sergiolopezw:))

[ilovetogofast88]

ANIMALS RULE

HUMANS DROOL

[Crypton1989]

*YAWN*

[Vatebulu]

All of these hunting tools are taught by Chuck Norris

[koo3161]

[OrionDenali]

The Six Million Dollar Snake!

[wefalloutlikekids1]

[darkassasin54]

@synthpathetic umm...chuck norris is dead

[movitmovit]

amazing

[Unknown4520]

Mouse: Ahh a snake im going to run away while pissing on the ground all at the same time.

[wildlife011803]

at 3:07 the mouse peed itself

[Gilber5463]

A true assassin

[darkot6]

scary teeth :o 2:02

[HumairasHenna]

The extent of these camera close ups of the snake make me oh so nauseous...

[GabitiniProductions]

This snake reminds me of a sniper in a ghillie suit

[Eye0fTheStorm]

SKANES GIVE ME THE WILLIES

[toxicpizza72]

Black mamba will definitely kill you fastest with fast aggressive moves & one of the strongest venom among land-snakes..This one will kill you in the most painful way,puffers also got one of the fastest bite-strikes though their not so fast movers,Like TonnandBBfan said: the venom makes your flesh & tissue start rotten ! horrible venom from a facinating snake you really wont be bitten by!

[ShadowChaos34]

@toxicpizza72 but it and any land snake will get raped by the island taipan aka the most poisonous land snake

[dinoaxd]

i will onl say one thing. as i have one pair of bitis arietans(puff adder), NEVER EVER SAY I KNOW THIS SNAKES.

[TheEliminator1992]

is the black mamba any where close to this snake?

[bilbring]

the black mamba has different venom and isn't a pit viper.

[TheEliminator1992]

i know it's not a relative of the pit viper. i meant that if the mamba is as dangerous as the puff adder... or is the adder supposively "worse"?

[ToonandBBfan]

Black Mamba will kill you much quicker but with quick, proper medical aid and antivenin you will generally be ok.

The Puff Adder has a cytotoxic venom which destroys cells and tissue.

Death from the Puff Adder can take at up to 24 hours or more and even if the doctor saves your life you could end up with an amputated limb.

The Puff Adder is one of the worst to get bitten by apparently

[TheEliminator1992]

sure sounds like it. thanks mate

[RaZeDaHeLL]

Yes, Black mamba can be found in the same region as Puff adder

[thedvilhimself]

the black mamba is an evil snake it will kill for the hell of it where as all other species will only kill for food or if threatened.

black mamba is badass!

[TheEliminator1992]

no its not. it shy... but of course if you piss it off....

[gavboy7771]

I'm not surprised the mouse pissed itself, I nearly did just watching this. I'll be checking under my bed tonight

[armandin2048]

@gavboy7771 LOL - to make sure you have a pot handy?

[WrathofWotan]

You can clearly see the 2 puncture wounds in the mouse's side after the strike - that's a tad hard to fake.

[narutofanmade]

the mouse pissed his self xD

[LadyTigerLily]

Snakes are such beautiful creatures. And they're amazing!

[sergiolopezw]

im never goin to africa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :o

[satanist666]

@sergiolopezw if you knew all the poisonous animals that live even here in the usa you would never want to leave your home

[darthjay13]

@sergiolopezw dont go 2 australia either. almost every snake u see is venomous

[ivangrozny27]

@sergiolopezw dont worry yr very unlikely to even see a Puff Adder. i lived there for 10 years and only ever saw 1 in th wild. However, they are pretty dangerous cos unlike nearly every other snake, they're lazy and tend not to budge if humans come near.

[Optimistiq1]

The shot of the mouse is also clearly superimposed onto the image with the snake. No wonder it is only on the screen for a split second.

[Optimistiq1]

Notice how in all that elaborate visual trickery we don't actually see the snake strike and bite the mouse? Obviously that didn't manage to get that shot in the set-up.

[kgsteelers]

Optimistiq1 Are u saying this is fake?! This was made for public tv man. There would be alot of women complaining about watching a poor little mouse getting bit by snake. Plus u can see the mouses fur is ruffled from the bite and the snake is taking the exact path that the mouse took.

[serpake]

Uauuu, it's a Gabonese Puffing viper! Mortal bite for humans, and extremely painfull! I'm afraid there is no antidote for this poison...

[vodka492]

that snake vs me with a desert egal rofl

[michaelkenbonga]

i heard garlic can drive snakes away due to its odor.

[DempizRock]

Damn, Snakes are crazy. Not as effective as a human with a 22 caliber, but it works.

[ctfchris]

Wow! Pretty elaborate hunting tools.

[navnav161]

i love snakes i have a nelsons milk snake
