It's time for some high-stakes acrobatics in the Indonesian jungle. Gliding tree snakes know how to get the jump on a quick meal. But to catch this flying dragon, the snake will need to be quick indeed.

Imagine one of them accidentally landing on your shoulder
Not venomous and lucky.
Then they would have posted it
Your comment scared me
Haha very few get those on their shoulder it's all destiny .. imagine if it is poisonous
I’d have a seizure
Snake: fly to eat lizard Lizard: fly's away Snake: bruh
Me: What a stupid way to try to be funny. You: I need a funny formula because nothing I say ever makes anyone laugh. Me: Then maybe you should try to be intelligent instead, bruh
@@TheDrjaydrjay 😂
That's not flying, that's falling with style.
👍
Fascinating how flight/near-flight has developed. Birds and bats (and pterosaurs) use forelimbs, these snakes and lizards use ribs, and while the jury’s still out on insects, one theory suggests their wings developed from the _gills_ of aquatic ancestors.
Insects are completely different, its almost like alien technology
Like the common “sea roaches” - otherwise known as lobsters.
Whenever a nature documentary is narrated by an America it feels like it’s made for kids. “Woah and what a good landing!” Like is this Dora the explorer or smth?
I agree, honestly.
Shut up, Brit. And learn how to spell "American."
Some of the sound effects remind me of the cooking shows we have here.
@@SixHundredAndSixtySix he’s right though
"fuck it Im outta here" - *glides away*
The flying lizard was like "Bye bitch"😂😂😂😂😂😂
Sometimes i wonder how do they get this footage
They could zoom in their mobile to 10 x
They hired another snake to record😂😂😂
@@davidadame4014 😂😂😂
@@davidadame4014 🤣 put a gopro on it
Overall while watching the video, good question.. the caught the snake on the high branches, caught that lizard gliding 30 feet and the perfect landing on the tree I mean... 🤔
There's a snake that can fly? The fuck? The natural world's got jokes.
Mighty Span it is in the Philippines that you can see these
They just yeet the snake.
The snake does "fly" - it merely glides, aided by flattening its body.
But how did the cameraman know at what tree it's gonna land at 01:42. Very impressive
lol, workin in nat geo must have next level skills
Many of these so call documentary has fake setup...meaning it might be hand holding by human and throw it on the tree while camera sitting there.
They literally throw the snake themselves to make it look like they can predict where they snakes landing at and how it looked like 😂

Drones shoot these things wiseguy
That was't flying! That was falling with style!
It's falling *in style*
"I mean a meal is a meal , is a meal" 🤣🤣🤣
These are some crazy shots. Especially that last one. How'd they know the dragon was gunna land there?
If I have those talents I can escape from my wife.
Momthedreatest. Oh. I thought you said
Come on , Don't Do that
Imagine how much more talent does she acquire in order to....!
And a flying squirrel also exists...wow they all are evolving 😉
Wait till you hear about bats
Wait till you hear about flying fish
Now just how did the photographer get those shots??? Amazing!
That's what I said. I wonder if they stage cameras in high activity areas.
Drone is used
Nah the flying snake was merely the camera guy throwing a snake :p
Often in documentaries like these they are filming for months if not more than a few years. And they have cameras staged EVERYWHERE because shots like these are SO EXTREMELY hard to catch
Thanks to camera Men & Troop....👍
What a competition in the same territory... amazing things
amazing
So epic. Who's doing the narration?
No wings no flying. Only falling down. Not flying up.
amazing 💝💝💝💟💟💟💟💞💞💞💞💕💕💕💕❣❣❣❣❤❤❤❤💛💛💛💚💚💚💚💙💙💙💜💜💜💜💘💘💖💖💖💗💗💗💗💓💓💓💓💞💞💞💞💖💖💖
I have Herpetophobia so this is a very interesting video 😂😄😅😐😞😔😖
This tree snake is very common in our village. Native name Patalot. Pata means leaf. Sylhet, Bangladesh.
What is the name of them in Bengali?
Is this a dangerous snake to humans?
*Legends say this is not flying but jumping* 😂
Actually, a more accurate term would be GLIDING.
i lobe how the dragon lizard fly and land.. 😁😂😂 i love how the wings open.
Id have a heart attack if I saw one of those Lizards coming at me.
I have a pet lizard like that it called draco flying lizard
How about a snake?
@@malaya.ligaya1789 what abt snake
That ain’t a snake anymore that’s a dragon
Using a flying snake would be the greatest prank ever.
*its a 2012 video clip that means 7 years old video but still watching same curiosity with HD quality in 2019*
Imagine when that snake falls to your head😂
Hahahaa
It would still be totally harmless.
Birds be like am i joke to you.
fantastic flying snake,,,
0:37 amazing voice crack
Also at 1:43
Realy amazing
World best video.
Superb...
The snake's interest in the flying dragon lizard is entirely cool-inary
lol i noticed that too
The snake does not "fly" / glide for the purpose of pursuing prey. It is an escape mechanism; it really has no idea where it is eventually going to land.
Yay the narrators back!!!!!!
Impressive
That lizard is straight a Dino. I don’t care if that’s a technicality in language!
Super video
Wow it is amazing
Wow amazing
Harpy eagles: S N A C C SPOTTED

Flying snakes were my childhood nightmare
Would be badass if the snake caught the lizard mid-air
WORLDSTAR WORLDSTAR WORLDSTAR
'Jumping snake'😁
Awesome
I was wondering why the camera quality was so bad, then saw that this video was posted in 2012... The internet has been around for a long time.
The difference between uk and usa nature docs is wild
Tyler Mac tree bark nice
ITS....LEAPING SNAKE & FLYING LIZARD
Nice 🐍🐍🐍😃💖
This can't be called flying, its jumping snake.
Nilalaro ko yan nung akoy bata pa. Alap-apan tawag sa bicol....
Falling snakes 🦋🦋🦋
Awesome video
This snake also can make insects sound to attract its prey
Scary if there's 15 feet tall and breathing fire it would kill us.
Can we get a 2018 version?
Dragon rocks!
Nice video.....
Note to self: take Indonesia off of bucket list
Flying?. It's more like jumping with a little bit of slithering thrown in.
I many video camera you're utilized
Gotta fly!!!... Adoh.
I want a gliding lizard
I want Geoff to watch this
Flying snake long flying

I think they place cameras on every single trees and wat not lo!
