The life of taipans - The worlds most venomous snakes!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 сер 2024
- Join the Cold Blooded Cousins Steve and Kyle on a trip across Australia filming the most venomous snakes in the world. Taipans! There is more to these fast, shy and often rarely seen snakes than meets the eye. Probably the first film to feature all 3 species of taipans.
That Inland Taipan is absolutely massive. I'd hate to see what a bite from him would do to you.
Thank you Steve and Kyle for producing this mini-documentary, hopefully, your efforts to educate people about Taipans and defend them against the dangers they face will not be in vain, and Taipans will be treated with the respect they deserve. Have a good life
Growing up in FNQ near mareeba as kids we were always told to keep your eyes out for taipans we'd probably come across 3 a week, i remember going to the creek one day i was about 10 or 11 and i saw this massive taipan lying across the road and i swear till this day we still see that same snake and it has grown almost to about 3meters, im 27 now and still scares the shit out of me!
Definitely a fair few taipans around Mareeba. Must be a big female, we often see them hanging around near the same stretch of creek.
Thank you for a decent series on this subject the current snake shows are pathetic I was bitten by tiger snake in 1968 lucky for antigenic I lived 33klms from the Hospital at time keep up the good standard of shows thankyou
This is a beautiful little documentary. I am an absolute snake lover/enthusiast. I've always been fascinated with reptiles in general. I always try to show people how to respect them, not to fear/Kill them.
I just wanted to say thank you for making this mini-documentary. Ill likely never see any of these snakes face to face. So this video has given me a great source of excitement and entertainment. Much Love from New York, in the States.
Thanks heaps mate, they are a lot of work to make so we're really happy people on the other side of the world watch this.
Our aim too is to dispel a lot of the myths and fears about these animals.
They make lovely watch straps
sorry to be offtopic but does any of you know of a way to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my account password. I appreciate any assistance you can offer me.

Yes , doing good . NIce footage , and also I hope you didn ´t embarass them too long . Anyways , thx for the upload and sharing what ´s needed to be known .
Crackin good show fellas! Thankyou for taking your time to document and share this with everyone.
Great film guys. Thanks
Those Coastals are huge! Looks like they’re pretty plentiful as well!
Next time you head to Cairns, and you guys are looking for Taipans. You will also find Inland Taipans up on the Atherton Tablelands in the Corn and Maze Fields as they harvest them. Oh and take a land Cruiser so you can keep driving if it rains also head further up north to the Black Mountains and the Rocky Coast north of Cooktown. Millions of snakes to play with you don't even have to look hard guys. Good Luck and Great Doc
I absolutely love these kind of tour videos, learning about my favourite animal, snakes! Taipan's are easily one of my fave species.
Thanks heaps! Taipans are a special animal
you guys are so dedicated to your craft. it must have been such an arduous journey to capture these visuals and try to educate us. Thank you guys so much! Really loved your work!!
Love from India. an avid Snake Enthusiast.
Thanks so much. It's a lot of work but we love it.
The beauty and absolute majesty of the taipan is amazing
You Aussie's got it going on in your Bush,interesting animal's. The Inland smiled like a Black Mamba.Will never forget Steve Irwin ,letting one lick his cheek while not flinching.lol ...Carrying on the tradition,admirable--cheers!!
Very impressive video. No dramas just straightforward respect for the snakes and the land.
Best nature documentary I have seen in a long time!
Thank you so much
You guys got Australia's super snakes in 1 video and some great shots. Congrats on the central ranges find
and the adult coastal you found at the end of the video was breathtaking. That black Gwardar in the desert
was a beauty too.
Thanks, was such an amazing trip, glad you enjoyed it
These kind of video's are great to watch because they can prime an individual for his or her trip to Australia and leave the viewer with a sense of confidence if they so choose to go bush walking or camping in Australia. I just finished a 7 month adventure in Australia camping sleeping in a swag on the ground for 6 months. What a great experience. I saw 2 brown snakes and they didn't want anything to do with me they just moved on as if I wasn't there. I really enjoyed this video. Well done!
Great work guys! I really appreciated the level of respect you demonstrate for the animals. Cheers from Québec!
Their are 4 types of Taipan the Papua New Guinea, Western Rangers, Inland and Coastal but still great documentary. The Venmon from all 4 are the most toxic and lethal of any land snake on the face of this planet and out of all of them the Inland bite is certain death and while their is anti venmon that's no garntuee and not to brag about it's a reality more toxic then the Mamba, the ferdalance,king Cobra,vipers and most if not all Sea snakes. PS Taipan means big boss in Chinese not an Aboriginal name.
The name taipan (taypan) was the aboriginal word used for them around Archer River in Cape York.
The PNG taipan is a subspecies of the Coastal Taipan. They are super pretty and their venom is super toxic so definitely a target to film in the future.
@@stevetuckey their is an Australian bloke from Melbourne Uni who lives up Port Moresby who is trying to create a an freeze dry Anti venmon so it can be made able to be used outside of Port Moresby in remote areas where they don't have a fridge to store it in clinics.
PS Taipan means big boss in Chinese, not an Aboriginal name but some remote northern aboriginal tribes do refer to this snake as big boss snake possibly due to early Chinese immigration.
I love how the snake transitioned from “observe “ to “size up “ and finally “ATTAC” at 6:00 lmao!!! Great video ✨🙏
Thank you!!
I didn't know they have camels in Australia. Cool. This video was very well done and it was a pleasure to watch.
They're not native but still very cool nonetheless
They are a non native species and are a pest. You can shoot as many as you like.
They were were bought here by The Afghans
Australia actually exports camels to selective markets mainly the middle east.
only place in the world they're still wild
I am always jealous of my brother, when it comes to snakes. We lived as boys in the Gympie district, in Queensland, Australia. Lindsay was riding a pony down a hillside road on our farm, when he was stopped by two massive snakes lying across it. They had to be Coastal Taipans , and around maximum size, judging by the width of the road. In the blink of an eye they were gone, going over the side and down the hill. Taipans are so elusive and I never got to see one in the wild, although I am reasonably confident that they would have seen me and the rest of the family over the years.
This a great doco and an amazing opportunity to see this elusive and beautiful creature. Thank you Steve and Kyle
Very educating regarding the Taipans and most awesome regarding the trip.
Im SO jealous!
👍😊
Incredible job, guys! This was so well done, so compelling, and thoroughly enjoyable to watch. Thanks, from northern California!
I'm in Australia however they got their info wrong. No land snake is the worlds most toxic or venomous. That title belongs to the Belchers Sea snake along with several other sea snake species which have venom which is ten times more toxic than the Inland Taipan.
Bloody wonderful. Fantastic piece of work chaps 👍
You guys did a great job on this video. Informative, educational and entertaining. Well done.
Utterly fascinating.Compulsive viewing.
Great video on a great group of snakes. I have kept venomous snakes for almost forty years, and Taipans are my favorite. There is nothing about them that would clue you in to just how incredibly deadly they are. They are so unassuming and simple, that is, until you are bitten. I applaud Australia on its protection for all venomous snakes. Cheers!
What do you keep? Papuans? You are in America right?
Thanks heaps, they are a special animal
Very cool, why am I just now finding these videos! I subscribed though so I should be seeing the entire collection! Keep up the great work!
Great film with some epic footage ! Had never even heard of the western ranges taipan. Good stuff
Very well done video.interesting & informative.thank you
Enjoyed watching this! :) Good inspiration for filming taipans!
I really enjoyed this, great film!!
Great video fellas! What an epic trip finding all 3 species!
I think we might be the first to do it. At least finding all 3 in the space of a years less than a handful of people have managed to do.
Xcellent footage guys 👦
Very interesting film. Well done guys!
I recall Ram Chandra the Taipan man visiting us at our school in north Queensland. He had been bitten by a taipan and survived. I have to tell you, he was kind of scrawny and gave the impression of not being completely cured, neurologically speaking. So take care.
I remember Ram the Taipan man too ! he came to our school in Frenchclit, Kentucky & gave us all anti-venom pills to take and then he forced us to have sex with the snakes for an entire summer. good times
Josh, please seek professional help ASAP. Good luck. 👍
Enjoyed every second of this. Very well done gentlemen. Who needs Netflix!
I always loved snakes and am fascinated by, but afraid of spiders. I can't imagine living in a place with so many amazing animals. I live in the United States, not much wildlife around my way, so thank you for videos like these so I can enjoy these snakes as well. Great video
This was excellent.
You guys are legends, all the best
Hats off Fellas, Excellent Documentary
Thanks mate!
Great information and video!! pete.
I made myself watch this as I am so afraid of snakes I nearly go into shock when I see one - and I do spot them more than just about anyone I know. It's not about their venom - I am most afraid of garters. Despite my fear, it really upsets me to see one harmed (especially by cars, and by people who think they have to kill every critter that scares them.) The one thing that kept me watching for more than a few seconds of freak-out was you, Steve and Kyle, and how much knowledge and respect you show, and how you genuinely see the beauty in them and are able to capture it with your cameras. Still, it will take a little more convincing to watch that snake inches from your foot and not think you are totally bonkers. What if you tripped walking backwards? You two are truly a wonder, and doing us all an amazing service with your film. I will try to watch your other ones to continue working on my fear.
Thanks heaps glad you enjoyed it! Snakes definitely are scarey for some, I once rescued a snake from the house of the biggest toughest professional rugby player when I was 19. He could have picked me up with one hand but he thought I was tough, even though I'm a skinny bloke.
I was scared of dogs for years. I eventually got over it by reading books and talking to dog experts. I now have a huge pet dog and have worked with dingoes which made me a bit nervous at first. Just learn more and look at them, maybe go to a zoo and see them through glass when you are ready. Fear can take ages to overcome but best way to battle it is with knowledge.
@@stevetuckey Thank you so much for your kind encouragement. Years ago I went to a zoo for desensitization, sat on a stool very still at the end of a long rectangular glass cage, some venomous snakes inside, and one of them started at the end and very slowly, hypnotically moved along the glass til it came to my face, lifted its head, hovered a few seconds, and then bonked its head at the glass. It wasn't coiled so maybe it was just trying to kiss me?
Pussy
Top job boys, loved it.👍👍👌
Wonderful - thanks so much!
I quite enjoyed your documentary on Taipans and have learnt quite a bit from this. I personally keep non-venomous snakes and have been fascinated by snakes of all types, researching them all, native and international species. One of my most enjoyable experiences with snakes was getting to hold a 15ft Burmese Python at a reptile zoo!
Thank you very much for going to the lengths that you two did in order to travel, film and edit this mini-documentary. It was the perfect amount of facts, nice shots with the snakes, and last but without a doubt not least, the journey that you two partook on, it told a story that most documentaries seem to miss the effort required traversing certain areas.
You have a new subscriber!
Thanks so much mate! Glad you enjoyed it. We love going out bush and filming even in rough conditions. But the editing is a long and sometimes difficult process for us, so it's really nice to get encouraging comments like this.
Very clear close ups of the desert taipan!
Australia 🇦🇺 un país mui bello. Saludos desde Bulgaria 🇧🇬
Awesome video..!!
Awesome work boys. You deserve a herping award just for finding the western.
Great video and education.
Very nicely done and beautiful landscape.
At 29:48 you took a big risk by lifting the edge of the iron nearest yourself! That would startle any snake hiding under there and you would be right in their target range. I lived in North Queensland for years and found that out by a very close call.... Always lift the far side and give a startled snake a chance to escape.
Other than that a really fine video, thank you.
STOLSPEED I noticed that too...risky to corner a snake like that, but if it’s a cool morning less so. I accidentally lifted up a pile of tree guards once the wrong way round and there was a rather grumpy and surprised red belly under there ready to strike, and they’re quite a docile snake compared to others. I sang it a lullaby and gently put the sheets back down.
This is so cool, thank you so much for your work. ✌️✌️✌️
Thanks heaps mate
Awesome stuff!!!
Sick video guys, great work
Good video Australian wildlife is pretty cool.
Awesome video guys
Taipan: *IM THE TAIPAN! DEADLIEST SNAKE EVER!!* 🐍
Human: Hello there!
Taipan: ...*but I'm very shy*...!!!
Yeah come a little bit croser and you will see.
Thanks a great vid, I worked in and around the Simpson and the "black soil" country (even got bogged a couple of times!) and managed to get a whole library of snake photo's and one vid of an inland Taipan south east of Innaminka in the flood plain. Your video bought back some great memories I love that country and seen it in full drought and full flood.
Mate that sounds like an awesome adventure
Great video
Great video, I can't believe you found a central ranges specimen
I admire very brave men , they have a special place in earth history .
Thanks for the great education on the worlds most deadliest snakes, the taipans.
Good stuff, guys.
Great video, lots of info and beautiful country! Keep them coming! 👌👍
Most enjoyable - thanks.
Nice video mates! That last coastal taipan was quite large.
Helluva good show mates !
Thanks mate
Beautiful
They are awesome!
The most interesting snakes!
so adorable 🥺❤️ my favorite next to a tentacled snake
Awesome vid thanks
Any chance you guys offer a snake handling course?
Nice documentary
Very fine video.
Very interesting vid
I love snakes and i wish i am a snake Charmer one day like you! They're the most lethal, effective, adapted and beautiful creatures! Respect them and they'll respect you
thank you
Nice videos guys, there isnt that much snake documentary out there on the web so this is perfect. Many people who get bitten by snakes is bitten thanks to not paying attention were they going, might step on them and so on. I dont think many people think snakes go after humans to begin with but its the feeling that you might come across a really venomous snake by accident and get bitten that scares people.
Thank you
nice trip!
Great piece of work. Free education is best.
Great biography guys.
good job boys!!! :)
Good job brother
What an excellent video thank you. Taipan's are so beautiful. 💕 Interesting big scale in between their eye & top lip extending back towards the neck. Haven't seen that on other snakes. Your so lucky to live in Australia with the numerous species of reptiles. ☺
It is awesome there
Great video men
Thanks heaps mate
Cheers Mate!
I live in Australia and have had brown snakes on my property (one acre) in eastern Queensland. When I see one, I go my way away from the snake, the snake goes his way, away from me. Never mess with them as they are aggressive when they feel threatened.
At Thirty-One I noticed that you talked about them opening their mouth and it was quite impressive look at the snake in my hand when it opens its mouth it is truly impressive
happy to watch from the safety of youtube.
At 2:39, that's Steve Grahame's from Outback Truckers' rig coming from the other side. Coool!
yeah spotted that
Thank you Steve Tuckey!
I just subscribed ☺ Awesome Video
Thanks and welcome
Absolutely love your guys documentaries, I subscribed and really hope y'all can gain much more notoriety. You guys do such an awesome job and hope the best! Only question I have is; isnt the king brown the longest venomous snake in Australia?
Thanks so much! Not the longest but probably the heaviest. Large taipans are slightly longer.
Yes
Nice!
Great video, really enjoyed.
