The World Health Organization estimates that between 81,000 and 138,000 people around the world die each year from snakebite. Almost half of the incidents happen in India. Can there be peaceful coexistence between humans and some of the most dangerous snakes in the world? SNAKE RESCUE CALL is the incredible true story about the dedicated wildlife conservationists who work to solve the human-snake conflict in their communities while risking their own lives to protect some of India’s most dangerous snake species.
It is my honor and privilege to be a citizen of such a great nation with diverse cultures. On top of that, I am a domicile of Udupi Karnataka which is so close to Agumbe. What else can be more amazing while watching this video. From past few months, I got fascinated about snakes and have watched plenty of videos on venomous and non-venomous snakes. I congratulate Save the Snakes organization for doing such a great job and spreading awareness about snakes. All the best guys. Keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your message!!! It is awesome that you started to be interested in snakes!! And also great that you can watch a documentary about your country and region :) Thank you for support!
Me too from udupi.. cheers bro.. ✌
Greetings to all from Texas. So glad to see so many from across the world with a common interest in preserving these beautiful creatures that are so important to our ecosystem as a whole. It’s an honor to be among such great company and a pleasure to learn with and alongside you all.
Damn cool
Tomorrows Wonder drugs come from Venom. Many Cancer medications,blood pressure regulation drugs from venom. Venom will replace Narcotic pain management ,so we best teach people to not kill.. India has most deaths from snakes on earth,sadly.. Can understand how them folks get afraid to turn the lights out to sleep. Be afraid to leave home for work,leaving your family..
What a spectacular documentary. This should win an award.
Thank you so much!!! We appreciate this!
a spectacular documentary, very well done, images of incredible quality, incredible snakes, 50 minutes of discovery
Thank you so much!!!!!!! :)
I hope that one day, ALL HUMANS will realize that EVERY species on the face of the earth is vital to the health of our ecosystem. Snakes play a very important role in the stability of that ecosystem. But they also have the potential to treat and even cure, many diseases. They deserve a lot more respect than humans give them. 🐍❤️🐍
Hello, thank you for the nice commentary and watching our film!!! You are absolutely right.
My daughter’s great uncle had cancer and was given a treatment made from rattlesnake venom that very much helped him. It is amazing what all good things come from these magnificent creatures. They are truly a gift from God or whatever spiritual entity one believes in!
Snakes also make for a nourishing meal, if & when necessary! And, they don’t taste like chicken!
Beautifully shot, edited and narrated. A great documentary about dedicated people and the important work they do. Thank you!
Thank you so much for watching!!! It is a powerful story and we are happy that we could tell it to others in this film.
I learned a lot from watching this. I am a veterinary student and now I am really inspired. I will continue to watch videos and take notes. I am very grateful for your videos. Really thank you very much.
That's awesome! Thank you so much for watching this documentary and hopefully you will enjoy watching the others :) Good luck with your studies!!! Where are you from?
Bringing the photos around is a great idea for education. Much respect to the educators, rescuers/relocators, and the people who want to learn about snakes. Volunteering to rescue these snakes for no pay! Much respect.
Thank you!!! Everybody who educates local communities about snakes needs respect and support!
Amazing snake film and the Indian music also!!! Great thank you!!
Thank you very much!!! Happy that you enjoyed watching it! :)
I agree. They seem to know just when to leave natural background sounds and when to add just the right music.
What a wonderful footage all around. I did feel that the attention from the eastern ghats got diverted more towards Agumbe. Overall a fabulous documentry.
Thank you very much!!! Yes, the attention went a bit to Agumbe because they do amazing work! But we tried to give Eastern Ghats also nice amount of time.
@@LivingZoology totally agreed... Need more intel on eastern ghat snakes please.
What an absolutely brilliant documentary. Solving the Human-Snake conflict is so important. Good luck to all teams involved on their future projects!!!
Thank you very much!! Great that you love this documentary! :)
I’m so glad that there are people who are doing this valuable work.
Yes, it is very needed and we are always happy to cooperate with such people!
King Cobra:: fascinates me, amazing. M5: HANSOME, hope he's well. Great video & filming... 💚💙
Thank you for watching!!! We hope to return and check how is M5!
More 50 min documentaries plzz the 1 issue with the internet is not enough snake documentaries
We are currently working on 2 more :) But with narration and narrator and extra cost for licenced music we cannot produce more than one or 2 per year.
Thanks to ajay giri, romulus whitekar, mohanti sir and snake save team
Thank you for watching!
Great video, I wish we could do something about the people who round up Rattle Snakes to kill. That's Sad
Yes, that would be great to film and then show everywhere what terrible things are done there!
@@LivingZoology I think it can be done but a cautious approach and lots of preparation are needed. Plus a thorough research of the snake haters' mind and the Texians are a very special case.
@Repzillian You’ve got at least one more Texan on your side!
Again I enjoyed your great images of snakes, ordinary Indian people and lovely sceneries, plus the soothing Indian music. Many thanks for your efforts! Glad there are many people there to rescue these dangered animals and educate inhabitants who are willing to learn. It is important to teach people about snakes throughout the world instead of killing them out of fear or ignorance.
Thank you again for watching our videos!!! It is so great to see that you enjoy different topics related to snakes and nature conservation. Greetings from Kenya!
@@LivingZoology Are you working on your next project in Kenya? Look after the local reptile fauna and stay safe. Have luck and lots of success in your current work!
watched many documentaries on snakes but this one is one among very few videos that can stand exceptional 🙏🏻👌 great work team 💐
So nice of you!!! Thank you very much for watching!
Very good quality of videos
Thank you very much!
A Visakhapatnam guy here❤❤❤❤❤
Hello to Vizag!! :)
❤️ *Beautifully* shot scenery, such bright looking Snakes. *Great* choice of music and clear narration. Vizag is my cousin's place which I have visited, lovely City.
Thank you very much!!! It makes us happy when people from India have positive comments! :)
@@LivingZoology Just shared with my cousin who is an American citizen after 2 decades of living in North Carolina: he loves his native place Vishakhapatnam very much and might get nostalgic looking at the scenic beauty around captured in here.
@@Rama-Rama74 Thank you!!! Let us know if he enjoyed watching! :)
@@LivingZoology Finally, got his feedback after he just finished watching this: "Really nice though a bit long, but got a good view of Vizag" it was 😌
That one kid is sleeping at 20:46 haha, made me smile
Thanks, we noticed that just now! :D
Took me a second to find him, he must have had a late night lol. Hope someone filled him in later.
I've had an interest in snakes for awhile now. Love watching these documentaries, very knowledgeable n interesting. Keep up the great work saving snakes and people. Knowledge is great. Ty.
We are happy that you are watching our videos and documentaries! Thank you! :)
I respect this program highly.
We appreciate it a lot!
Yet another beautiful film on snakes. I would say your films are the best on snakes in the world in my opinion.
Thank you very much!!! We are very happy that you like our films!!!
such a beautiful snake documentary
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Proud to be a citizen of this beautiful country ❤️.
We love India!! ❤️
The best way to cure this problem of the snake/human conflict is to solve the rat problem. Don’t leave hiding places for snakes and rubbish outside. Don’t leave food for rats to feed and breed.
You are right, it is one of the most important things, if there is no food for snakes around people, they will not come.
That is impossible. Even a big city like NYC has massive rat problem.
Most people hate snakes. The ironic thing is that snacks are super important to the ecosystem.
Yes, unfortunately, people hate and often kill all snakes, not just the venomous ones...So teaching people how to distinguish between venomous and non-venomous is essential.
Their certainly blessed with the greatest Snakes.
India has some amazing snakes!
GREAT JOB GUYS!!!!
Thank you very much!!!!
Very beautifully narrated. Footages are crystal clear. Also, I'm an admirer of Ajay. From various sources, I got to know that he is a professional and very responsible person. I feel gulity for killing a snake during my teenage. People around made me kill that poor creature. Now I regret it very much. I will never do that again. People like ajay are real gems of our nation
Thank you very much for watching!!! We are happy that you like this film. Don't worry, the society tries to teach us the fear of snakes since we are very young. We are sure that you would not do that again! As you say, Ajay is a big inspiration to many people.
@@LivingZoology Sure 😊
@@anoopprasad1926 Unfortunately I am guilty as well 😢 I was raised to be terrified of cottonmouths and grew up surrounded by tall pine trees and creeks that they love. I came across several while driving and must admit I purposely ran over at least 2. The most I can say for myself is I made it as quick and painless as possible as I’ve never liked to cause suffering no matter the creature or reason I felt it necessary. But I still feel awful knowing what I know now. That’s thankfully been Many years and I’ve grown older and wiser and come across much good info such as in these lovely people’s documentaries and I now do my best to spread awareness that they want nothing more than to live in peace unharmed as we do. Perhaps those few died so that we can educate others to keep them from harming many others.
@@highjinx6519 Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Don't worry, you committed those mistakes in bad times and now you realise it. You are good. That's why you feel guilty of the mistakes you made 😊
Wow, once again amazing footage ! Very informative and educational as well. King Cobra is my absolute favorite, thank you so much for sharing this incredible documentary !
Hello, thank you so much for watching!!! We are happy to read a positive comment :)
A beautiful film for us snake/reptile lovers.
Thank you very much, happy that you like our film! Check out some others: kzhead.info/sun/oM6QfqePhIZ4nZE/bejne.html
Outstanding quality as usual! Thank you for bringing us such fabulous content. I still do not understand how people dislike these videos, if you do not like it you do not have to watch!
Thank you very much!!! We are happy that you enjoyed watching this film :) Not sure why people could dislike :/
Beautifully shot video and documentary albeit a tad stereotypical with the background score although good. Visiting Agumbe's King Cobra sanctuary is one of my dreams although I live 14 hours from the place :) Love watching all your snake documentaries (hated the Uganda export market, should not have encouraged that) and tone down on the stereotyping of places.
Thank you very much for watching!!! You should definitely try to visit Agumbe, it is a very very interesting place! We want to return. Great to hear that you watched our other documentaries. We were not encouraged the pet market, but completely opposite - informing about the negative aspects of it and changing the opinion of locals about it, and it was successful.
Those people are carrying out wonderful work. As a snake lover, I have to say I find king cobras just a bit creepy lol.
Thank you very much for the support!!! King cobra is amazingly calm and majestic snake, it was awesome experience when we saw it for the first time in Indonesia and we really enjoyed filming this snake in India also.
It’s too bad that religion has played a key role in snake fear and hatred. I love that people are so dedicated to helping educate everyone and preserve these magnificent creatures
Yes, religion can shape people's opinion about animals a lot! Thank you for watching!
always delivering quality and impactful contents guys! Many of the topics/subjects you guys do are what I'm aiming for(travel, education, fieldwork, research, etc) keep it up!
Thank you, Bryant!!! Happy to read such a positive comment! :)
Thanks. Perhaps you can also try and do a documentary on sundarbans, India. It has an enormous snake bite cases (mostly common kraits) every year
Thanks for the idea! India certainly has so much to offer! We definitely want to film another documentary in India!
Amazing work x
Thank you!!!
Fabulous videography and action!
Thank you so much!! We appreciate that you like our documentary! 🙏🙂
An excellent job of making the best points for why SNAKES are such an IMPORTANT (keystone) KEY Part of the environment in which they Dwell in and to see the many beautiful and scary SNAKES in the world and the fact that they have been living in the Ecosystems for many many years more than any Humans have and to know that they are soul responsible for maintenance of the world and cutting back the population of many different types of living things that left unchecked would be very harmful to that ecosystems and the other living things that share the same habitats and without the SNAKES we humans would be facing some very horrendous and awful things that are dangerous to the human race and we need to make sure we have a good healthy snake population so that they can keep habitats clean, regulated and safe for us humans
You are very very right! Thank you so much for watching!!! :) If more people would understand the importance of snakes, more of them would be still alive and the ecosystems will be healthy. Also, more people would die from snakebite because they are ignorant and walk in snake habitat without shoes or during the night without a torch. If you can, please share our films so many people can see them and get to know snakes better! :)
Congrats guys! Although all of your videos are super high quality, I think this is the best so far! Keep it up!
Oh wow, thank you so much!!! We just found your comment right now!!! Sorry for late reply!!
Omg @2:03 who would have thought these parasites (ticks)even feast upon Snakes!!
Yes, even snakes have ticks!
I like this channel..keep it up
Thank you so much!!! :)
Good job👍🏻❤️
Thank you! Cheers!
Great video
Thank you so much for watching!!!
Loved to see this!
We are very happy that you like this film! :) Check out the others also: kzhead.info/channel/PLj80DUXdImxY2Dmas8H-wxuWDYjqDLhJu.html
Why it it so that most of the zoologists and snake experts don't make contents about the monocled cobra, Russel's viper, green pit viper, common and banded krait? These are magnificent and unique creatures who need awareness across the world for their protection and conservation.
It is interesting. We also find them amazing! We want to return to India and film more footage!
@@LivingZoology welcome to here. Here now there are more snake rescuers emerged. They can certainly help you more for local guidance. Bapi da snake expert Mohd Mirza Arif Mobarak snake saver Are some locally famous snake experts you can find over KZhead.
@@ashwinikumarrath3716 Thank you very much!!! We hope that next year it will be possible to travel again :)
@@LivingZoology hope so. It'll be our pleasure to have you guys here. If any assistance I can offer it'll be my pleasure. Please feel free to ask. 🙏
Amazing work! Thanks for documenting this.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Russels Viper in the thumbnail
Yes, very true!
@2:06 is that a tick beside the right arm of the spectacle
Yes, it is!
Could you do a timber rattlesnake video struggle to find good ones.
We would love to find Timber rattlesnake. But we first need to travel to the USA :D We are from the Czech Republic. We should have been in Texas in September 2020 but the symposium to which we were invited was cancelled due to covid. Maybe next year.
As a Texan I would very much love to see that. They are beautiful creatures and much awareness is needed so they are not indiscriminately killed like so many of these other fascinating creatures.
I hope that one day, ALL HUMANS will realize that EVERY species on the face of the earth is vital to the health of our ecosystem. Snakes play a very important role in the stability of that ecosystem. But they also have the potential to treat and even cure, many diseases. They deserve a lot more respect than humans give them.
Exactly, beautifully said!!! We think that education makes a big difference and can help people to respect snakes.
Yes! They even use rattlesnake venom in some cancer treatments. It is absolutely amazing what nature gives us!
Nice documentary about snake conservation and its importance for controlling rat population which is vital for the welbeing of farmers.King cobras are most useful as they prey on other snakes ! Congrats to the team and wishing them success in the important work they are doing.
Thank you for watching! Great that you love our documentary!
very good video thank you
Thank you very much!!!
As casas dessas pessoas, são ótimos esconderijos para as serpentes
Great video!!!
We appreciate you positive comment, thank you!
Question to you guys alot of channels are comparing the king Cobra from Asia to the black mamba from my country South Africa or Africa , it is without doubt the black mamba is the 2nd longest and fastest snake and its extremely venomous ,is the king immune to the mamba's venom and is it immune to all venomous snakes?
Well, King is probably partly immune to other venoms, but who knows if it is immune to Black mamba's venom as it is not a snake from India. Also Kings attack venomous snakes behind their head. The non-venomous ones are bitten anywhere on the body. So the King clearly thinks about the fact that it attacks a venomous prey. From that we think that it is not completely immune to venoms like those from Spectacled cobras or kraits. These snakes are also elapids and have similar venom.
I grew up in the Mojave desert and killed every rattlesnake I saw. As time went on and they grew more rare my attitude changed and I saw them I started thinking of them as an animal to be admired like a hawk or a raven. In fact the I become indignant when I don't see Mojave Green Rattlesnakes not listed as one of the world's deadliest snakes with their atypical for Rattlesnakes neurotoxic venom.
We love your change of attitude!!! :) It is great that now you value the role of snakes in nature! You will love to see this film! kzhead.info/sun/hdVrm5iMsadnbHA/bejne.html
And there will be a special video about Mojave Green Rattlesnake on our channel soon! ;)
A good example of changing one's mind for the better. I guess your initial reactions came from what you had heard from others or had been shown by other snake killers. Learning to co-exist is the name of he game and I'm pleased to know that you are to do just like that. Why not speak to some of your fellow residents or visitors of the area so they could learn from you.
Great job❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Buddy at 20:47 is knocked out
Not sure which buddy you mean there :D
0:33 Holy smokes, was that monster a Common Krait? I had no idea...
No, that is the King cobra!!!
@@LivingZoology My bad, and thanks for answering. It was a very dark colour and didn't use a threat display, so the banding threw me off. I thought it seemed pretty chunky (and huge) for a krait though.
@@m00nsplitter72 No problem, Kings are really dark in some areas! And interestingly, they change colors in different seasons...
I wonder if there could one day be wifi based trackers so that everyone could see where the tagged snakes around their village currently are.
That would be really awesome!
I adore ! all your videos are a feast for the eyes and ears! how do you finance all these trips?
That is so awesome! :) Well, all the money we earn goes into this passion for years! However, the basic KZhead revenue is not high enough lately for us to continue in a long-term. Please consider joining our channel as a member to support us in doing this work!
There’s more advertisement on here than video, thanks to Google’s garbage ad model. Good thing there’s new platforms rising up to replace them. Your documentary deserves better. KZhead should drop the attempts to turn the internet into a “new” version of the old television model of media. I’m sorry, I had to tune out.
Well, it has pros and cons. If KZhead was not allowing ads to show in the content, we would not do this job. We are surviving thanks to revenue from KZhead. Nobody is sponsoring us.
I let most of the ads run as I am not financially able to contribute otherwise. I am glad they are able to be compensated for their time, resources and hard work they put into these fascinating docs. Worst case scenario there are several ways to watch without them but I am thankful to have a small way I can show my thanks ☺️
Hoping to visit Sri Lanka next year where i believe the snake species distribution is similar. Have you any knowledge of Sri Lanka and any snake catchers/conservationists i can talk to? I would be willing to maybe contribute to their work in different ways.
Hello, unfortunately we haven't been to Sri Lanka, so we don't have any contacts there.
@@LivingZoology Thank you for your kind reply. Should i make contacts there i will forward these to you.
@@emilemontiere6128 Thank you very much and good luck!!!
Holy crap. A king cobra killing and eating a spectacled cobra is surreal. That's like your SEAL sniper uncle coming home after deployment and shooting you next.
Hello!! We are happy that you liked the scene!!! Sometimes crazy things happen in nature!
2:02 is that a tick on the snake ?
Yes, it is!
Good one..but pl change the background music for future videos. Whenever it comes to India you guys just have that sitar music or any random music going on.
Thanks for watching. It is not easy to find lot of Indian music for use but we will try to change it in the next documentary 🙂
I do understand..no offence..just a suggestion.. I know it's easier to comment 😊
@@SaiKoundinya Thanks for suggestion, no problem 🙂
Snake from the thumbnail?
That is the Russells viper :)
@@LivingZoology that's the most beautiful one I've seen.👍👍
Try to find out who is "vava suresh" It will help ur program
We know who is Vava Suresh. The biggest disgrace to everybody who is dealing with the human-snake conflict mitigation. That guy is using some veery wrong methods and he is an idol of many people, teaching them bullshit. He was recently bitten, again, after stupid behavior!
@@LivingZoology Absolutely well said. Instead Soham Mukherjee, Gerry Martin are respected ones
Have you guys ever looked into the snake charmers in India? Do some of them really remove the fangs or venom glands of the Cobras causing them to eventually die as I’ve heard or is that an unfounded rumor? Would be very interested to hear any info you all have come across on the subject. Thanks!
Snake charmers really often remove fangs and it is now prohibited in many places in India as far as we know. It is animal torture. All snakes are protected in this country. We would love to focus on this problem more next time we come to India!
@@LivingZoology would love to see that! Thanks again for all you guys do, you are amazing and a blessing to these creatures!
@@highjinx6519 but now a day, it's very rare to find any snake charmer.
@@Ram6669good. I can’t imagine those snakes are treated well, fangs or no fangs.
Specatcled cobra even eat Big big russel viper.... But not common only when food is not avaiable spectacled ear big russel viper.. russel viper has no chance even When russel bite the cobra cobra has no problem he ear russel alive ... Once they resuced spectacled cobra and the cobra throw out big russel viper he already sallowed ..suprisingly after the viper regain concinoius and Run away that is the most luckiest viper haha
Yes, cobras eat other snakes when they have a chance.
VIPERS DONT REALLY DO DRY BITES THEY BITE TO KILL ALMOST EVERYTIME.
As you write - almost.
@@LivingZoology snakes are deadly pests and should be killed. Its how our ancestors survived the stone age
@@illuminatedperspectives2894 That is a very strange comment full of hate. Snakes are part of biodiversity and they play their role in nature.
@@LivingZoology Constrictors are the only snakes that are ok. Non venomous snakes and constrictors. Venomous snakes should be killed immediately
@@illuminatedperspectives2894 Unfortunately for you, all snakes play their role in the ecosystems.
Would you like to see these guys while you sleep? There is a reason why everyone puts a tent on the bed before we sleep. You never want anything crawling or dropped any of these visitors while we sleep. Lol
Well, many people in India sleep outside or without any protection and snakes can slither under the door for example.

Thank you for watching! Greetings to India!
27:60 que bocão, e que peçonha kkkkk
Wamyn screaming for no reason, super helpful in any culture, nothing helps a dangerous situation better than wamyn yelling in fear unnecessarily.
Not sure what do you mean with this comment.
To say the vine snakes venom is not dangerous to humans at all is not a correct statement. If someone has an allergic reaction to the venom they can die very quickly.
Vine snakes have rear fangs, they need to chew to get the venom to their prey. They are very common and no one has ever had any troubles. Of course, there is a tiny chance that maybe somebody will have allergic reaction. We are not aware of any of such case.
@A Ald do you know of any reliable sources where this information can be located and researched by chance?
Please find other role of snake 🐍in ecosystem rather than rat control their role is still unknown
Their role is known in this way. They are important predators.
I was fascinated to learn in their doc about the rattlesnakes of Arizona that by eating the rodents they help the seeds the rodents eat germinate and be distributed to reproduce that otherwise would probably die in the heat and drought of the desert. They play many roles. I firmly believe every creature is placed here for a reason and all are necessary to keep the balance. I am so thankful and blessed to have found this channel and look forward to learning much more from these amazing stewards of the earth and it’s creatures!
hello guys if you are coming to israel i can help finding snakes :)
Maybe we will have the chance to come to your beautiful country in the future! :)
Thank technology for subtitles cuz watching indian dudes talk i cant understand shiiiiit!!!
Thank you for watching and trying to understand!
I can understand them better than I can many of my fellow Americans but yes the captions help tremendously no matter the language imo.
Rat snakes are extremely helpful. Too bad people still kill them
Exactly! Thank you for watching!
1.3 bil in a country that although large, is far from the largest, is absolutely ridiculous and unsustainable. Imagine what the population would be if the untold millions who immigrated to the US and other western nations was still in India, and also if it was a desirable destination like much of Western Europe and North America, sans Mexico?
Yes, there are many people in India.
Don't worry about the population. You have nothing to do with it. Stay safe inside your shells.. wherever you are
@@ashwinikumarrath3716 Hopefully that was not for us :) We want to return to India as soon as possible and inform about the human-snake conflict again!
I don’t think any of foreigners dare to go and lives there no body is tired of he’s own life to go living there unless he or she intended suicidal
You are right that not many foreigners will choose to go to live to India, but that does not change the situation of local people. And they need help with solving human-snake conflict.
