In a new documentary of Living Zoology film studio, you will see fascinating footage of venomous snakes and know more about the export of snakes from Africa. Matej Dolinay and his wife Zuzana Dolinay visited Uganda in the quest to find one of the most beautiful venomous snakes in the world - Gaboon vipers, Rhinoceros vipers, Bush vipers (Atheris squamigera and Atheris hispida), Jameson's mambas and Forest cobras. They also found the hybrid between Gaboon and Rhinoceros viper - gabino viper.

Uganda is a hidden paradise , hidden gem , under rated giant in Africa ,,,, you are all welcomed to uganda , the pearl of Africa
Yes, we love Uganda!
If i had money, id go 🤗
@@voodoodolly it's probably the most pocket friendly country in East Africa for tourists.
This take back to the old Discovery and Animal Planet Channels, like back in the late 1990 and early 2000. I would watch these shows for hours. I love them and you have out done them amazingly well!!!! Thank you!!
Wow, thank you so much!!! We also loved the style of wildlife documentaries in the 1990s, when it was more about natural history than about drama full of effects. We are happy that you liked this video!
I think you hit the nail on the head as to why I’ve fallen in love with this channel right off the bat. I’m a 90’s kid and would spend hours glued to those documentaries. These docs definitely take me back to my childhood and yet teach me so many new things all at the same time. Hope this new generation loves it as much as I do.
one of d best doc that i v seen and also antropological. balanced and not sensationalistc.
Thank you very much!!!
I love this channel ❣️🇵🇭
Thank you so so much!!! We appreciate it a lot.
Excellent documentary, LZ. I will probably not be able to safari Uganda but this video is a great substitute. Beautiful venomous snakes.
Thank you for watching more videos on our channel! :) Some of the snakes there are absolutely amazing. We went to Uganda after frustration from Cameroon and Congo, where people kill and eat everything, maybe you will be interested in this one: kzhead.info/sun/jaark5ychWSen5s/bejne.html
The Gaboon Viper is such a cool snake. Amazing patterns, enormous fangs, huge girth. A truly formidable creature. Nature is awesome. And that rhino/gaboon hybrid is phenomenal. Way cool.
Yes, the Gaboon viper is our favorite snake! Have you seen this scene with Gaboon viper? kzhead.info/sun/aLKIfqlqo4OtZqs/bejne.html
i wonder whats there weight they look heavy and yes amazing and colorful patterns
@@keithwilson9378 The heaviest Gaboon viper we had was about 8 kg and Rhino viper about 3 kilograms!
Living Zoology : aha
I'm 10 minutes into this video and it's amazing
Thank you so much! Enjoy the rest of it!
Best channel LOVE THE INFORMATION ON ALL SNAKES BUT ESPECIALLY THE BUSHMASTER & GABOONS
Many many thanks!!! Check out the special video about Rhino viper: kzhead.info/sun/p8OemZxxe5iipqc/bejne.html

Thank you for visiting my country 💪💪💪
Your country is awesome! 🙂
@@LivingZoology , I am a new subscriber, came across your channel afew hours ago but I am glued on this channel, because of the educative content. I think u guys r underated
As an American, I really appreciate that Eastern European accent. It really makes the video.
:D :D When we speak in Africa we use their accent and try to simplify every information :D But the Eastern European accent is also recognizable I think. And the narrator is Irish ;)
@@ziwer1 Thank you for calling us dummy even though you know nothing about us.Again, you are taking things way too seriously, man. Our Eastern European accent is well recognizable and Britons are laughing at us a lot for that and what, should we be angry? When we come to remote villages in Africa where people barely speak English it helps a lot to simplify the sentences and speak in the accent which locals use. It helps both sides to understand each other. Please, write a story about us! All Africans who know us will never believe you, because they know who we are. Each time we come to Uganda we bring huge suitcases full of clothes for villagers, we educate people there and we even pay high school to one boy who wants to be a zoologist in the future. And we are friends with those people and nobody thinks about differences, we speak our accent, they speak a bit differently and there is no problem, we try to adapt and they also and it works. And you are serious with saying that there are no accents in Africa? Haha :D :D There are accents even in tiny countries like Czech Republic which has 10 million people. And we are in the same position as people in Uganda, English is not our first language. So naturally, we take some of our native language, Czech or Luganda or whatever into the pronunciation and it creates the accent. If you do not agree that what should we say about that...
@@ziwer1 There is. Across different countries in Africa have similar pronunciation because their native languages are often from a similar group languages. Same like people from Russia, Slovakia, Czech Republic and others have similar accent when they speak English. So sorry, you are not right. Most of our friends have and with some we are in daily contact. We are very sorry but your anger and blaming us for something we are not is not on a right place here.
Always the best from your crew
Beautiful film.
Thank you!
¡Stunning documentary! I appreciate the aim of exposing the feelings of the hunters about their activity, it's important to learn the impact of this snake market in the local communities for getting to the best solution for people and this magnificient snakes. ¡Congratulations! Definitely I have to herp in Uganda some day...
Thank you very much! Yes, it is a very complex topic, the snake hunters like snakes and their job and want just to earn some money. People from Europe, USA and Asia create this market.
@2.5in Bore Offset Thank you for your comment. Of course there people who are responsible and others who don't think about the origin of the animal they are buying. I think we are just trying to show this problematics to people so they start to think about it. We don't want to blame any country. For example, most of the snakes from Uganda go to Germany. So definitely there is a need to control the market but this film should make the actual buyers start to think differently. Because when there is no market, there will be no snakes for sold for export. Or there can be a market and export, but we need to think about the reintroduction of some animals back to their natural habitat and we need to conserve those habitats.
Beautiful animals ! Amazing Gaboons ! A Herpatologists dream ! Thankyou for the upload , subscribed ! 👍😉. . . 💚🐍.
Thank you!!! Happy that you have subscribed! :)
Thank you very much, appreciated!
I enjoy gaboon as well,and Great Lakes Viper..Africa amazing,people nice to.
Those vipers are awesome! I wish I could see them in natural habitat like you did. Very nice documentary ;)
Thank you very much! It is a hard work to find them, but then the feeling after seeing them is awesome!
Living Zoology : aha
Snakes start at 20:19

Great 👌 content and beautifully presented also great camera work
Thank you so much! 🙏
I am very happy to see your good qualities videos..
Glad you like them!
This was an awesome documentary. The time flew by while watching!
Thank you very much for this comment!!! We are happy to read reviews like this!
@@LivingZoology +256752619386....contact me pliz
Thank you for a good movie. Possibly you can encourage/help local people how to breed snakes. Alternatively a sustainable, very limited, permit based catch in the wild system will encourage conservation of habitat and snakes. For the latter EU, US and Asia needs to have a very strict import system.
Thank you for watching! The thing is they don't have funding to create a good breeding facility. We showed them that conservation of habitats is important and that ecotourism can bring money to the country. Of course, EU, USA and Asia should have a more strict import system.
Good idea thnx
A África é um lugar abençoado, pois guarda várias espécies de animais é plantas. ☺️
Working in Africa is awesome, we like it!! Thanks!
Wow this was absolutely amazing! Nat Geo Quality great job
Thank you so much for watching!
Godbless and more power to you guys. Thank you so much for these amazing footages! 🥰💖💖💖
Thank you again for being a great fan! Greetings from Kenya! We work hard to get more footage!
@@LivingZoology You're welcome! 🥰💖 Godbless there and stay safe always! 🥰💖💖💖🤗
What a wonderful experience among the Uganda people. Again, my admiration for your patience and skill in obtaining this footage, revealing the true beauty of the snakes in their environment. Much respect to you.
Thank you very much!!! 🙂🙏
This was awesome!!! My dream trip!
Thank you!!! :)
Enjoyed this video very much, thank you.
Thank you for watching and we are very glad that you like it!
woooow....amazing doc¡¡ congrats!!!
Thank you very much!!! :)
Another triumph - well done. We are finally seeing the same in Mexico with the captive breeding of endangered Brachypelma spp. tarantulas in Mexico for legal export after some 30 years of over collecting.
Thank you very much! Yes, the topic of legal export is very interesting and we wanted to make people think about it.
Aha
Those Camelions are Amazing
Thank you!
This people are brave, I caught one Cobra years ago when I Was very young in Bangladesh.
r you sure was cobra
The BBC called. They want their wildlife camera crew back. They'll take the scriptwriter as well ;)
Good that they want everything back 😀
absolutely of topic documentary
Truly amazing cinematography, adds a great and very appreciatd artistic touch to the already mesmerising wildlife. You really did do it justice with your depiction. Great work, immediately subscribed!
Thank you so much! We are so grateful for this beautiful and positive comment! :)
Images rares et extraordinaires ! Merci !!
Merci beaucoup :)
Weed is everywhere in the Ugandan countryside. Their ancestors have grown and used it as medicine for centuries. They mostly consume it in tea. I always have a chuckle when non-Ugandans are kinda stunned by how much weed is casually grown here 😊
Yes, we were shocked! :D Good to know that it is used as medicine and in tea :)
The Gabino is so very pretty! How excited you surely were to see one so unexpectedly. I just noticed my spellcheck wants ‘Gambino’ or something else like’Gavin,’ lol. I don’t put the Gabino with the crime family, yikes! Anyway, the Gabino is extraordinarily pretty in coloration. Thanks, guys!
Thank you!!! Yes, some people even think it isGambino, we are not sure why, maybe because of the spellcheck! :D
@@LivingZoology The crime family snake, lol!
Great documentary very intormative
Thank you very much!!! Please check some of our newer documentaries, like this one: kzhead.info/sun/pMuchZR7o6eJo5E/bejne.html
Love this docu!!Couldn't be better! Subbed!
Thank you very much!!! More docus will come this year! ;)
Thoroughly enjoing this video too. Thanks :)
Happy that you enjoyed watching it! 🙏❤️🐍
Fantastic documentary this videos changed me I don’t know why I am starting to love the snakes otherwise I have killed many snakes When I was in my country. In my village nobody used to care the snakes,,,, find and kill them. Usually we didn’t hunted them in case if we saw snake that would be the end of the snakes. This documentary clicked somewhere in my brain and now I am feeling differently and started to feel the snakes,,,, what’s going on me right now is ...I can’t explain in words. I hated the snakes until now most be from the church which says serpents are evil but now I am completely changed man. Common what going in my mind I cannot explain right now....anyway thanks for making such a wonderful documentary about different snakes and other wildlife and sharing this fantastic videos in the KZhead.
Oh wow, this is a beautiful message! Thank you so much for watching our documentary and thank you so much for thinking differently about snakes. We are so happy that you changed your mind about these animals!!! We will be happy if you follow us and watch more videos :) All the best!
Amazing documentary !
Thank you very much!!! We hope that you will like also the following ones :)
I love the gaboon Adar
Yeah, they are awesome!!
No. Better than national geographic
Wow, thank you so much!
"Winston Churchill called it the pearl of Africa"... He probably actually said "take all the pearls from Africa"
scrambo mills why because it’s true? Churchill was one of the biggest war criminals in history
Aha
@scrambo mills it's You're, not your ! And YOU'RE CALLING SOMEONE ELSE AM IDIOT ? BWAHAHAHA
@Chad Klaren your lazy...
Moc pekna dokumentace
Moc děkujeme!!! :)
Rhinoceros viper maybe use their rinos as a decoy for small mammals. Vipera ammodytes use horn for hunting as a decoy aswell.
Beautiful show.
Thank you very much!
MUCHAS GRACIAS POR AYUDAR A LOS NIÑOS.....DIOS LOS BENDIGA SIEMPRE......MUCHAS FELICIDADES .....SALUDOS

Os manifestos são lindinhos 😍
Thank you! :)
I like the chameleons little dance
Thanks for watching!
You have to have award in conservation video making You do great from reptiles You could do with birds mammals insects amphibians it would be great to see all of those.
Thank you, we are focusing on reptiles and mostly venomous snakes because we are zoologists and we know how to work with them. We also feel that it is our duty to educate people about these animals and show that they are very important for the environment.
In my country(Philippines)we have white viper and other snakes that you can only find in our country.hope you also go to my country and make documentary about our snakes......
Que bonitinho uma Rhinoceros viper.❣🐍👑21:26
Sim, é fofo!
Amazing!! Quality of the video is magnificent! Keep up the great work 🌎💙
Thank you so much!!! Check our new videos please, we added drone footage :)
She's right ! He is a brave man 👏👏👏👏👏
He is!!! :)
Wow the hybrid gaboon viper aka Gambino was absolutely beautiful. Gaboons have the longest fangs of any venemous snake. Their fangs are so long, inches literally. Most Gaboon vipers are known to be docile and they have to feel very threatened to strike and bite. In North Carolina some kids found a snake in their garage and played with it for hours holding it and passing it around. When the family realized their kids were playing with a snake they called animal patrol and the snake was a damn Gaboon viper. The officers couldn't believe these kids were holding and playing with this snake for hours and didn't get bit. They would've almost certainly died. They never found out where the snake came from and how it got into a person's garage but almost certainly had to be someone's illegal pet that got loose or was set free.
Yes, Gaboons are usually very calm and it seems that they don't care about anything. But from our experience, when they get pissed off, they start to strike a lot!
@@LivingZoologyI've always been absolutely terrified of venemous snakes but I love learning all I can about them. I've been studying venemous snakes, from the comfort of my home of course, for a few years now. I've watched just about every documentary/educational video about them on KZhead and the internet. I've learned so many fascinating things about these reptiles that I'm still so afraid of but I can now say I have a respect for the snakes that I never had before. This documented video was put together beautifully
@@ashleyp287 It is great to hear that you watched so many films about snakes to learn more about them! Thank you, we produce the films also with the aim to educate people and start their interest in snakes. Not everybody is going to love them, but we want to build at least respect to snakes in people :)
Chuck Norris was once bitten by a cobra and after hours of agonizing pain, the snake finally died. 😂
😂😂😂
Create and informative, love the wildlife I always assume vipers are from the America's and we don't have it in Africa
Thank you very much for watching!!!
We have rattlesnakes (Crotalus sp.), copperheads and cottonmouths (Agkistrodon sp.) as far as pit vipers in the US. I love the iconic African animals and snakes. Variable bush vipers (like living dragons) and Gaboon/Rhino vipers (like living art) are beautiful, and I love the puff adders, boomslang and elapids also, so many amazing snakes and animals. 🖤💚💙💛
Beautiful snake.
It really is! But which one?
Criança é criança em todo lugar !!!!👏👏👏
Child is child in all places? :D
I am B.Sc Zoology student and I love your video. I also want to work as you.... may be someday I will I want to study further as well by the i am from India.
Best of luck! Thank you for watching! :)
The camouflage at 13:25 is unbelievable.
The Gaboons and it's family, eg Rhinoceros viper, are the most beautiful snakes in the world.
Yes, they are really gorgeous!!! But that makes them vulnerable because many people want to have them at home!
@@LivingZoology i can't remember exactly when, but a girl in America had a pet Gaboon viper that she let roam around the house during the day. When she came home from work she found it under a couch, it bit her in the face and she died not long after
@@LivingZoology it makes me angry that people are allowed to have them. Zoos of course can assist in the breeding etc, but im referring to these morons with big egos who think they know about snakes. These vipers need to be in their African homeland not some assholes cage
@@owen7185 Yes, it is problematic that anybody can buy these snakes and then sometimes things like you described happen. And I don't know how it is in the USA, but in Europe, many people have these snakes illegally - they don't registrate themselves for keeping dangerous animals.
This was absolutely fantastic!! Well done! You’ve produced some of my favorite documentaries and I’m super impressed with the whole production quality! Well done. I definitely need to visit Uganda, South Africa is very dry compared to this
Thank you so much! Very happy to hear that :) Soon there will be a teaser to a new documentary about snakes of Uganda!
Living Zoology that sounds exciting I can’t wait!!
Try Kenya too, we have the black mamba.
Uganda is hot and wet all year round......... no deserts here
You are very welcome. I can have your trip arranged.
Very interesting 👌 well done
Thank you so much!!
สวยจังน้องนาง อยากฟังเสียงครางแล้วอ้ะ
Thank you for watching!
Mamba techniques are crazy
Why crazy?
I can just imagine how many people who are taking snakes from the forest.
We started to imagine, too! But people don't believe until they see it. That is why this film was created.
This should be a more than millions views. It's really eyegasm.
We would be very happy if it has a million views :) Plese share if you can! Thank you!
What a disturbing word you just made up.
@@martialkintu2035 ha ha, yeah it's her way of showing a deep appreciation for this video.
Love the XXXX down the horned vipers back! Its like a warning! Toxic 😂
Yes, the pattern and color of these snakes is amazing! :)
Looking at the rhinoceros viper, i would say its horns may work as camouflage. They look alot like a tiny tree limb or twig. Just my opinion. If anyone knows why, i would love to hear an explanation?
nah its color on the body already work well , i think it more for breeding purpose , but as shown , inter - racial does happems ,lol
OMG you actually made a video I didnt have to read.
Enjoy watching other narrated documentaries ;) kzhead.info/sun/oM6QfqePhIZ4nZE/bejne.html
