Under the sign of the snake | FULL DOCUMENTARY
Xavier Bonnet was born "under the sign of the snake".
A herpetologist of international renown, he travels the world seeking to discover the secrets of reptiles.
Fascinated by their survival strategies and their capacity for adaptation, he studies how certain species evolve in extreme conditions.
On Carnac Island in Australia, where tiger snakes mutilated by their prey survive without their major sense, sight.
On Shedao Island in China, where "Gloydius Shedaoensis" snakes, imprisoned on the island, hunt migrating birds.
In New Caledonia, where the snakes, to free themselves from the constraints of the islands, have acquired the ability to swim.

Good for Old Xavier, who is passionate to work for snakes as one of them. Huge thanks for the video! 😁👍
Pity the narrator calls the snakes poisonous: they are venomous. Poisons need to be ingested. Venoms are injected (except in the case of spitting cobras, who use spitting as a defence).
Don’t split hairs buddy 😅
yes exactly
Thank ypu
@@cjames3029it’s not splitting hairs. It’s actually two completely different things used for two completely different reasons. One defense and one offense
Exactamondo! It riles people who actually understand the difference.
Someone tell me how to spell his name!
Xavier picking up danger noodle like spaghetti 😢
The sea snakes are always said to be one of the most potent and deadliest of venomous snakes. But to see a man literally hold them by the handful with no head restraint made me rethink everything I’ve ever been taught about them. Absolutely fascinating view of these mysterious creatures!!! This doc is a little dated but full of gold.
Like it seems that the venom might be of the deadliest but the snakes are not. A kin to that of a coral snake I guess
Absolutely insane.... The Isle of Nope Ropes Tiger snakes can be really aggressive
They don’t strike when you touch them ?
This is a true snake island
Why can’t any documentary use the correct term 😂 it’s venomous not poisonous
Xavier is, in my book, an utter maverick. But bringing ur young son along? Hmmm, don't agree with that on any level.
Poisonous= if you eat it you die…. VENOMOUS = injects venom into it’s prey.Jesus Christ 😂😂😂.
