Scary

Saw scale viper mostly found in india

The snake at the start: 🥚 🐍 The snake at the end: *becomes caseoh*

The camraman 🗿

shy,lol

Great video as always. I also enjoyed the BTS at the end. The snake was so cute and tiny.

But, they are known as death incarnate because they strike without provocation!

Nature is really interesting

Awsm video n plz INCLUDE some slow motion clips

You can probably tell from the sound that viper creates, that is marvelous, it's an inspiration to me maybe to create something like car tires with such thread of those scales and believe me that the car will be unbeatable.

Hey, living zoology? Can you please make a video about sea kraits and scenes with their defensive posture. can you leave a reply if you will?

It looks cold there. Is it possible the snake is cold, and why it's quite calm. I do agree to them bring reactive snakes. I work with Australian Eastern Brown snakes here in Australia.

I live in Sweden and we have only one venomous snake here. It's the Northern adder, Vipera berus. It's deadly venomous but of course you should avoid getting bitten by one. I'm not scared of snakes but I'm aware of getting too close to a Northern adder when I see one. If we were to have Black mambas here, I would keep a good distance to it, because I would feel a little unsafe with a snake that is able to kill me with a bite. But I still think Black mambas are beautiful and fascinating. ❤

I have the same Barometric Pressure watch which youre wearing at 18:11

Dear Living Zoology team! Kindly make a specific video on Bungarus Caeruleus (Common Krait) which is a very very deadly snake in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh & Sri Lanka.

Its such a beautiful snake with cute eyes ,only attack when provoked or feel threatened ,and also the sound it makes as a warning is just amazing

It's poison causes internal bleeding of organs, out eyes, ears + paralyzes muscles so 1 can't breathe. Nasty animal!

Amazing footage

This is a very interesting piece about one of Australia's most deadly animals.

😢😢😢😢

I love the lack of narration. It makes it more fascinating to watch. ❤

Thanks for another great video. I often wondered whether the statistics for lethality were representative, as the Russell's viper is a larger snake with a bigger venom yield. Good to hear that these little ones might cause less deaths. Scary nonethless...

Hands down the best expose of the saw-scaled viper I've ever seen. I didn't know there were species that could range in venom toxicity that profoundly. a 1/2 MG LD 50 compared to a 3MG LD 50 is the difference between life or death. Would you say the venom toxicity of that 40 cm little guy in Northern India was more toxic than that 80 cm one in the earlier part of the video?

Look at him turn sideways to pose for the camera lol

So what happens if it wants to bring the racer snake inner self & rush you as you sit comfortably?

Good jobs with the Echis!

There are Vipers of the genus Echis found in Africa as well. A lot of deaths, along with the Puff Adder!

All snakes want to survive. We humans are idiots. I love to hunt. I dont want to waste my ammo on someone that wants what i have or defend myself. Venomous snakes are the same way. They would rather eat than waste venom defending themselves. They wont chase you down and bite you to jack your car, steal you wallet or purse and no way near as screwed up as humans are to one another.

The snake can't talks,can't yell so nature gives to this creature the ability to makes sounds by rubbing its body to warn anyone not to come closer. Marvelous!!

I make a habit of LEAVING SNAKES THE HECK ALONE! In Canada we only have to worry about 2 rattlesnake species. Or spiders....we have Black Widows, so we have to be careful where we put our hands. We have to be careful of the non venous spiders to, because some of them get HUGE. If they bite you, it can be quite nasty.

A little living landmine. Awesome work with video and sound. One of, if not THE, best footage of sawscaled viper that I ever saw.

Thanks!

Thanks!

The strike is so fast! Great work. Keep it up.

Another marvelous video. I appreciated having the sounds from the scales. Well done!

The strike speed of those is highly impressive! Highly informative as always.

I've always liked the gray-banded king snake. The Trans-Pecos rat snake is impressive, too. Videos like this make me wish I could join your team for one of your adventures.

The 2 most venomous Rattlesnakes are the Tiger Rattlesnake and the Mojave Green. Also, venom toxicity varies greatly from location to location. Mojaves are super beautiful. Their colors have yellowish, greenish,brown,a tiny bit of orange and of course the beautiful Coon Tail

👌🤩

BRO YOU HOW MANY WEEKS DON'T EAT FOOD????!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great video! I know this is a huge stretch but it would be beyond awesome if yall were able to do a video about the Mangshan Pit Viper in South China. I'm not sure if foreigners can even go to the places Mangshans are located and it might be almost impossible to locate 1 in the wild

This is a species of snake that's always ready for a fight. They _will_ chase you. Herpetologist Sherman Minton was pursued a distance of about 30 feet by a saw-scaled viper in Pakistan. The snake struck repeatedly at his boots. Of the 170+ snake bites incurred by the late great herpetologist, Bill Haast, by far the one that came closest to killing him was a bite from one of these snakes. He appeared to be on his death bed when The White House got involved and got a more specific anti-venom smuggled out of, sure enough, Iran. As for mimics, there is another that isn't mentioned in the video. The diadem rat snake is another harmless colubrid that lives in the Middle East and makes a hissing sound that is very similar to the rasping sound of a coiling saw-scaled viper. Therefore, if you're ever in the Middle East, and you hear a diadem rat snake hissing, but cannot see it, take heed and be prepared to jump back because there is a possibility you may be within striking range of a saw-scaled viper.

This behavior of rubbing body parts together to make sound is called "stridulation." Crickets do it all the time. Another excellent video!

Its my first time!~ Her:

Almost incredible. It is strange that evolutive selection allow an animal what is almost not able to ear a sound to produce a sound as a defensive strategy. This sound is dedicated to mammals who sometimes come to close from her. The shot on the saw scales are interesting because it shows the total modification of the scales. They are oriented oblique (the back scales have normal orientation but when you see closer to the flank the orientation change) and their carinae are serrated; a formidable evolution of a stridulatory organ. This complex (Echis carinatus, pyramidum, occelatus, ..) is an absolute medical emergency. In places where medicalisation is not enough the consequence of saw scale vipers bites are terrible (kidney failure, haemorrhages, necrosis (amputation), certain problems could be solve by education. In certain countries some people use traditional medicine (black stone, etc) and when the victims have appropriate care it is frequently to late as it was observed by dr. Phelps, in "old world vipers: a natural history of azemiopinae and viperinae ". Development of serotherapy (dispensaries and local hospital with vials of serum) in these places are the only solution to minimise the consequences for local people. Cheers

Love the shots that show the serrated scales. Cool feature of this genus.

کارتان عالی، لذت بردم، موفق باشین
