Cobras are very famous venomous snakes. They are one of the most venomous snakes in the world. Some cobras can spit their venom. Spitting cobras live in Africa and Asia. Black-necked spitting cobra (Naja nigricollis) lives in Western and Eastern Africa. This video shows Black-necked spitting cobra from Kenya. This snake was completely black and was spitting and hooding up. It was rescued by local snake catcher and we released it back into wild savanna. Bite from this snake is deadly without antivenom. But snakes use defence behavior first before biting. Cobra hoods up, opens its mouth and then spits when it feels threatened. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Superb filming without the annoyance of dramatic music. The snakes are what we want to see, as naturally as possible. Gorgeous snakes once again
Thank you so much!!! We are very happy that you enjoy watching our videos! :)
Hey fulhyu
Yep. Hey I'm just here to look if it p*sses you off let me know and I'll go away.
That's how you respect observing the beautifully violent nature itself.
Wow you each word is so satisfying just like the video.
@@LivingZoology This filmed video is so good
Great filming, great content and absolutely no one speaking. The only thing we could hear was the sound of nature. Great job there, guys! This is the kind of video I've always been looking for.
And no music :)
You probably dont give a shit but does anyone know of a method to log back into an Instagram account..?
I stupidly lost the password. I would appreciate any help you can give me!
@Musa Amir Thanks for your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Musa Amir it did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account :D
@Rocky Judson Happy to help :)
I love your videos. No Drama, no music, no voice from the of. Pure nature with good informations.
Thank you very much! We are very happy that you love our videos!
The Yellow cape cobra and Black necked cobra are absolutely stunning creatures; their colors are naturally dazzling. And, living and surviving on the ground around large mammals, these snakes [cobras] have a difficult time of it. Spitting venom is a genetic wonder.
We agree and we put the Red spitting cobra to the big three! :) ua-cam.com/video/xfxADhl7gbw/v-deo.html
It is cute but dangerous... Same as girls..
Right
Interesting comparison :D
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
@Liberty same bro💦

He's very fortunate that you were there to rescue him that was so cool you guys are great and that animal is extremely gorgeous
Thank you!!! We were so happy to be present at the release and we could appreciate the beauty of this snake.
Rescuing a monsrous reptile described as 'gorgeous'? I wonder what is wrong with you white people at times. We in Ghana cannot risk our precious lives for such monsters, kill your enemy before your enemy gets you.
@@elijahtk3893 Every animal has a right to live. Snakes are a vital part of ecosystems. And they are beautiful. Do you know that a lot of medicine originates from snake venom? And do you know that most snakebites happen when people try to kill snakes? Snake will defend itself only if a monstrous human attacks it. Leave snakes alone and they will leave you alone!
No Music No voice over with Hi s and Byes ,,,Simply Natural , Nature at its best ... To the team All the best !!
Thank you so much! We agree, that nature sound is the best music!
Fantastic as always!! Thanks for taking us there!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Another amazing video of a fantastic snake. This spitter seems to have the most perfect rounded shaped hood. Is it the largest i wonder? Thanks again. I searched for a spitter in Ghana but never found one. But i did get to interract with an IndoChinese spitter in a snake handling course. It seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of venom. We gave up in the end! Once again thank you for your efforts and this beautiful video.
Thank you very much!!! True, this snake had a perfect shape and was quite large. The biggest spitting cobra species is the Ashe's spitting cobra. It is never easy to find cobras, one of us was also in Ghana and it was not easy to find snakes there. From our experience, spitters tend to save their venom after short time you work with them. They are intelligent and spit only when they really think they need to.
Some people think we charm cobras. I think it's the exact opposite. I can see why these majestic creatures are worshipped in many different cultures. There's just something ethereal, powerful, beautiful, and otherworldly when it comes to all snakes...
But especially cobras.
Yes, cobras are special snakes, beautiful, intelligent!
Narrator: Spitting is the last choice
Snake(who has been on fuxkin *GO* since the video started): spitting is my *ONLY* choice
We were showing spitting the most, because it is the most interesting and less known behavior. When the snake has a chance to escape, it escapes. If not, it will stand its ground and possibly spit!
@@LivingZoology
I imagine a bite might also do damage.

Great filming!!! Beautiful snake.
Cobras are fascinating ... 💚💙
Thank you very much!!!
Excellent video, no annoying narration or music, just the sound of the snakes natural habitat.
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you!
Now I know you can use those corona face shields to protect against spitting cobras 😂 good idea!
Very true, we can confirm that they work very well! :D
You’re all incredibly lucky to venture to all sorts of exotic places and film these animals. Thank you for the content and information!
Thank you very much for watching!!! :) For 5 years it was difficult for us to travel a lot, but we managed through research, guiding or thanks to some funding. Now finally, it has become Matej's main job! :)
Such a wonderful video I came across.
The natural background music the location...everything is just perfect. Excellent workmanship !!

Thank you very much for watching! :)
Black is beautiful. Such an excellent video. Love the way you narrated. Thankyou
Thank you very much!! :)
Great video as always. You guys make the best snake vids. Keep it up!
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for your skill and courage filming this one. So impressive a creature, my mind boggles considering how any venomous snake produces their venom.
Thank you, it is always a pleasure for us to work with big elapids! This snake was stunning.
Lovely and incredible work. Wish to see more & more.
Thank you very much!!! Check also other videos on our channel 🙂
Hi
Your videos are exquisite! The birdsong in the background on this one is so enjoyable. I wish I could join you in the field. My first-hand experiences with N. nigricollis in the W National Park while I was in the Peace Corps were unforgettable, so this was a treat. Thanks so much for helping the world understand these incredible creatures through video. Have you got any plans to film some unusual birds of Africa?
Hello! Thank you very much!!! Always happy to read positive comments from new fans! :) How do they look like there? This completely black individual was stunning. In terms of birds we had the luck to film shoebill for a while, it will not be a long video but at least some footage we have :) For the future we plan to focus more on other continents, but hopefully we will have time to do some trip to Africa also.
@@LivingZoology Thanks for your response. Indeed, the all-black specimen you filmed was an exceptional beauty. The ones I saw in Niger were not uniformly black, there was typically a white or yellow band on the hood. I hope you will always try to convey a conservation message in your snake videos; species like B. nasicornis and especially the gabino will soon disappear from the wild all over central Africa if people keep collecting them for the pet trade. Breeding them is part of the solution, but only if some of the offspring are returned to the forest. Anyway, keep filming, and stay safe. BTW, how are you funded?
@@benjisinclair6048 Sounds cool, individuals with band on the neck are also beautiful. Wow, you are basically saying what we think about this topic! Natural habitats need to be preserved, pet trade stopped and possibly some reintroduction needs to take place. We will always make conservation as an important part of our stories. We film wildlife for 6 years and for 5 years we had other jobs and this was a hobby. Since the beginning of 2020, UA-cam is giving us enough revenue so one of us can have it as a main job! But for many big documentaries, like the one in the link below we got funding either from Czech Republic or we got hired by organisations like Save The Snakes. Stay safe too! ua-cam.com/video/qgcU0CluSpY/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/Rq2k4Tzu198/v-deo.html
Another breathtaking beauty of a snake, incredibly captured guys 💯
Thank you so much!! :)
Wow, how beautifully does nature create these beings. Nature ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The foolish one here is you still think the meaning less nature but our belief in GOD (the only one) are transforming stronger and stronger by seeing this types of typical and enormous creation
We agree with Guru prasad N.R.
Where did he get that matte black wrap?
Good question!
Painted by zebra
He bought that wrap at Instagram..

Wonderful documentary.......❤️❤️❤️❤️ Superb....... according to me you guys are the best about knowing wildlife and educating people about these deadly snakes❤️👍👍👍
Thank you so much!! We appreciate it!!
Cobras are so cool looking. Used to drive my parents crazy when I was ten because I wanted to hang in the reptile house to look at all the cool snakes.
Yes, cobras are super awesome! We love the complexity of their behavior :) Did your parents become ok with you loving snakes later?
@@LivingZoology Yes, we were allowed to keep Garter snakes and Hognose snakes for about a week. We live fed them frogs and toads, than dad would have us release them back to the wild after we studied their behavior.
Beautiful video, as always
Any quick tips for training five, maybe six of them, to do my bidding? Any advice would be great!!!
Amazing the Pictures/Film,thank you ! Great!
Many thanks! Happy that you enjoyed!! :)
Great video I loved it... I just started getting interest on snakes couple of months ago. Now it has really motivated it. I am seeing it for the first time.
Wow, new interest in snakes, that is great!!! Happy that you found our channel :) Snakes are amazing and there is so much to discover about them!
How I love the nature sounds indeed this is lovely watching here makes me feel like im in the bush my self. Love sounds made by birds
Thank you very much!!! It is great that you feel like being in the bush also with us! :)
Without the bug bites.....😂😂😂
। ह। ।
Yes thanks for no music just the birds ...we have to be conservative and preserve our beautiful earth.

Sub'd - I love your stuff!
Thank you!! 🙂
Good job guys. Your great effort provide us a lot of knowledge of snakes.
Our pleasure! Thank you very much for watching!
I was wondering why the cobra is feeling threatened considering the fact that other animals were not anywhere near it. Then I realized that you guys filming the snake were the nearest to the snake 😁
Yes, the cobra reacts to one of us. Thank you for watching! :)
Awesome video and footage. I was just wondering where you went for the part of the extraction of venom. I think i recognised the place when I visited the Bio Ken Farm in Watamu, Kenya within an Universtiy excursion (or at least the founders name).
Thank you very much!!! Yes, the venom extraction was filmed in Watamu.
One of the legendary beauty in this snake...
What a amazing shoot... Keep growing
Thank you very much! Yes, this snake was amazing!
Nice video and I always wait for new videos from you as it is enthralling
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for making a film on my favorite species of Spitting Cobra!!!!!
Our pleasure! We were very happy to have a chance to work with this snake :)
This snake has become one of my favorite snakes just for how beautiful it is
@@kahanuermeyas-tulu4056 didn’t know I wasn’t allowed to have this to be one of my favorites. Oh wait yes I am so don’t act like I’m copying you
@@kahanuermeyas-tulu4056 funny you say I’m the annoying one, when I’m not the one on their high horse acting like everything must belong to them. Guess you’ll have to go back running home to the parents that probably left you and now you try to keep everything for yourself.
@@kahanuermeyas-tulu4056 huh? What’s your point? If there’s no point then you shouldn’t have gotten yourself into this in the first place. I mean I guess it doesn’t matter to me cause I just won the argument
Another outstanding & interesting video. The natural sound of the environment enhances it👍
Glad you enjoyed it!!! :) Thank you!

10:00 The snake was saying, geez they're everywhere. How do I get out of here. I really enjoy your videos, calm, relaxing and beautiful.
Thank you so much for watching!
Another amazing video !
Thanks again! :)
Black Cobra 🐍 vs auto grass-cutter or chainsaw, which wins? TQ
Unfortunately cobra loses against those things.
Excellent video capturing the poisonous cobra. Kudos to the team.
Thank you very much!
Awesome work Amazing film
Thanks for watching! :)
He holds his head up so proud such a beautiful creature
Yes, this was a big and confident cobra :)
it makes a true king.
26 year living among these beauties and bring fortunate not to run onto any. Thanks cobras for being shy!
You live in Africa? Which country? You are right, cobras are not easy to find in the field! But sometimes they come into human houses!
@@LivingZoology born in nairobi. Lived there 26 years. Eent to college in athi river. This is where i saw snakes like i see earthworms on a rainy day. In my soe box. Shower. Door cracks. Looking back..most snakes are very shy an stay very still despite being spotted. We slaughter ed alot of innocent reptile lives..despite being the encroachers in the bush. In my 4 years there, there was never a single bite. I remember walking to the library in the dark with my arms shielding my neck..afraid of a rock python constricting me 😂😂. However, we needed the kenya wildlife service to capture a ginomous constrictor ftom a river that had about 8 men holding it back to back. They hanged that picture on the student resource center only to add to my paranoia. People said it swallowed dogs. All talk of course, looking back. I have been living on the north east coast of USA for 15 years now. No snake worries here..just obsession and addiction to your high def top shelf underwatched underrated videos. Been to the mara once in 2013 low season december, amboseli way back in 96, crossed the tsavo in the old train way bsck in 88. My dream is a road trip from capetown..throught namibia, botswana..to nairobi. Wish me luck😍😍
@Mostly Insects 😂😂😂more like if i walked into a cobra with its hood up..i would need to change my undies
Sampa
excellent video, wonderful to hear the birds also so clearly. Would be interested to know what you used to record this. thanks again !
Thank you for watching! We use the external microphone on our Canon GX10 :)
I don't know about anyone else, but this black spitting Cobra looks awesome. The red spitters are excellent looking too. I watched that vid recently.
Thank you for watching! The Black-necked spitting cobra and the Red spitting cobra were absolutely beautiful. The third stunning one was the yellow Cape cobra: ua-cam.com/video/sK2iUDAWXsk/v-deo.html
@@LivingZoology So beautiful and yet so deadly, lol. I need to watch the vid on the yellow Cape and will do that now.
I love these videos. I have so many questions. I will try to keep them to a minimum. 1. When the cobra spat at the camera, how much of a mess did that make for the camera operator? 2. When the venom gets on skin, what does it feel like? Is it oily? Watery? Does it burn like acid or more like poison ivy? Or is it just there? 3. When milking the cobra for venom, do you run the risk of causing harm to the snake? Do you ever feel you are leaving it vulnerable when released? How long does it take for the snake to regenerate the venom it lost in the milking process? Lastly, when the cobra has its hood open, the snake is really afraid, correct? Would thinks like heart rate and blood pressure be elevated with a hood open? I have more questions, but I will stop here. I do have one comment. If I were the home owner and I saw that particular cobra around my house and we were existing together well and neither were in danger from each other, I doubt I would have called someone to remove it. Aesthetically that was a living piece of art that is rarely surpassed. If a snake can be called gorgeous, that would have been the poster snake for all gorgeous snakes. Absolutely beautiful. Thank you again for another great video.
Hello! Thank you very much for following our work! :) Let's go to the questions! Cobra spits at a person with a visor, not directly into the camera. Most people have no reaction to venom on their skin, some people get rashes, some get totally allergic and can't be close to spitting cobras. One of us had venom in mouth, it is bitter. On the skin it was not a problem. Milking snakes needs to be done properly and then no big harm to snake happens. But it is a stress, so should be done only if it has a purpose. We don't milk snakes, you usually need to have a permit for collecting venom. The head needs to be released quickly so you don't get bitten. It might takes days for the snake to have its venom glands full again, but it depends a lot on the individual, age, fitness...When cobra spreads the hood, it is intimidating, some cobras do that a lot, some individuals prefer to flee. How much they are afraid is difficult to say, but certainly less than when they spit - that is another level of defense. If you come closer, they will try to bite. Hopefully we answered every question :)
@@LivingZoology I have been interested in cobras and mambas for decades now. Oddly enough, I am not interested in seeing them in zoos as much as seeing them in the wild. The spitting cobras seemed to have developed a defense unique to them. The venom they produce seems to be more part of the digestive process. I am not sure if venom would be considered a acid or not. Since the venom breaks down tissue for the snake to ultimately digest food, I always wondered if a snake venom would burn if one came into direct contact with it other than in a bite. Your videos are fascinating to me more than any video, program, or clinic, I have seen since first watching Marlin Perkins and Mutual of Omaha. I love seeing the true temperament of these snakes. I have discovered, through your videos, that even these snakes could kill all of you filming them, they choose to run in the end more often than standing their ground. I have to wonder if the snake thinks of its venom as a defense or killing force or just a food gathering source. I think the later. Thank you for answering my questions. THANK YOU FOR THESE GREAT VIDEOS. I am becoming a huge fan of them, your channel, and you. I am going to share your channel with my colleagues in the science department at the Middle School I teach. I have learned so much. I will keep asking my questions here. thank you again for answering my questions and again for these well produced, high quality videos. You are doing the world a great service and should be extremely proud.
All snakes were cursed by god himself. They are evil creatures destined to drag themselves on the he ground eternally.
@@ovedfranco7664 Wow. It is funny. These evil creatures are helping to keep vermin and the diseases they transfer to humans at a managable level. Some venoms have been proven to aid in the treatment of various heart diseases. The therapeutic benefits that snake venoms may hold have yet to be fully studied to any extent. So, please, get off your high horse without having any facts.
A spitting cobra once spat at me giving itself a chance to get the heck away before things got ugly. I was lucky though it missed my eyes; the spittle landed on my forehead and cheeks.
Yes, when it lands on the skin you should be fine unless you get some alergic reaction.
I like the natural sounds in video💜👏
Thank you very much!!!
Another great video Thankyou
Thank you so much! 🙏
Thank u for filming my ex wife in her natural habitat..
No problem, you are welcome! :D :D :D

Birds are absolutely going crazy in the opening sequence
They were loud that day!
That fn bird tho... 😂 It was OK at first but he just keeps Goin and Goin. 😂
You mean the sound of nature? Well, birds sometimes sing for a long time :D
@@LivingZoology no, I mean that particular bird. Not all locations have THAT annoying @ss bird around.
@@daviedood2503 Yes, some birds have a bit annoying sounds :D
Nice video with beautiful all directions covered hope to see a new video on King Cobra ....
Thank you very much!!! We hope to go to India soon to film more King cobras!
Such an awsome snake, i do wonder tho how spitting startet to evolve and be selected as a viable defense. Evolution is so cool
That is a very good question. It evolved 3 times separately, as we say in this video: ua-cam.com/video/WxjxE1UOJ4A/v-deo.html At first the hole in the fangs must have appeared and snakes slowly became using venom for defense also. But remarkably, this happened only in cobras.
@@LivingZoology Thats so interesting thanks for the answer. I always thought the african species must have had a common ancestor and i didnt know till now there even are asian spitters. Obviously i never checked the taxonomy till now either
Wow amazing snake
I love the black color
It was amazing snake to work with!
I fxkin love this channel.love froM BROWNSVILLE BROOKLYN.are those the natural sounds or do u add them?
Thank you very very much!!! :) Sometimes we are lucky to record a good sound right from the filming session with a snake, but usually we need to record the sound a bit later, with no human sounds etc.
A bit of overkill with the bird sounds 😂😂😂
Nature sounds as they are :D
