...i have never seen a snake carrying away it's prey. it literally picks its food up and snakes away to eat it in peace.... i am amazed
There are quite a few species of snake that will do this if they feel they are exposed when trying to feed. Indigo snakes in the US do this commonly when predating on larger rattlesnakes and move to cover to give them time to consume such a large meal.
If this boomslang snake bites you, your blood with turn very watery, and leak out of every pour in your body, causing you to bleed to death
Yeah the boomerang has some impressive jaw strength and leverage p4p. That chameleon probably weighs more than his whole body.
Since it was in the middle of a road, getting away before being run over is the right move. I don't know if it understood that, or if was just by chance.
Other than pythons most species of snakes do carry away their prey when they feel exposed. I have seen this literary with my own eyes. Not on a video.
Am I the only one impressed by how the snake slipped out of the chameleon's tail grip at the end?
Watched it again and it's a really slick move!
impressed
usually animal videos don't have legit titles but this channel is fine as hell.
MrSMGun Thanks so much. I try and be as accurate as possible but still catchy :)
I do think this title is spot on though hehe
***** Yeh, but I'm just trying to see in terms of SEO which works better.
Try this one "Snake fucks up Geico Representative"
i about choked laughing at that
roosterinboro you should be ashamed of yourself i have a pet chameleon
The chameleon skipped the "Looking like a Road" class at school.

After 5 years , l cant believe this comment have so few likes. At least it has mine.
@@Boss_Tanaka Lol cheers !
im a chameleon and I found this video offensive
Watch Rango for some motivation.
As a Chameleon American, these kind of hate crimes just show how our system is need of a change. That “snake” won’t even have a day in court.
Yeah this is racist
Well, then CHANGE!
sorry pal ur on the snakes menu, thats how nature works.
"Here.... I'll just blend in with the road...give me a minute"
Boomslang: even though you use camouflage, I can still see you... Im a snake, I see colors through heat
@@cruzate7231 A chameleon is cold-blooded. It does not generate it's own heat.
@@nejiskafir8198 you KNOW...I always was puzzled myself about how they find cold-blooded prey. I've read that it's like a photographic negative-they are actually cooler than the background-especially at night.
@@drpoundsign That may be. There is also sight, vibration, smell and sound. Sight and sound are not very good for a snake, but might be good enough at such close ranges.
@@nejiskafir8198 I'm super curious about it as well. I used to have a snake and every now and then I would feed it an Anole lizard. In a small area such as in a 10 gallon tank, I'm pretty sure it was able to see it well enough to find, kill, and consume it. It struggled a bit and the lizard had to move for it to be able to see it, but man, that snake was ruthless when it finally did. Scent could have been a huge factor too, but it would flip straight into attack mode once it actually saw something small running around in its feeding tank (cold or warm blooded).
Eventually I got to the point that I couldn't stand live feeding anymore (and he wouldn't eat anything aside from live prey), so I gave him away to a local reptile lover and pet store owner. But I have been curious about how exactly he would see those lizards ever since.
Must have been a karma chameleon, because it came and went.
THIS COMMENT IS GOLD WHY HAS NO ONE LIKED IT!!

Sorry, I don't get it. I suppose it refers to a song ?
Bro just carried him away like he was a grocery bag😭😭
Chameleon: “I’m so big I don’t know if you wann-“
Noodle boi: “they all say that”
Wow! Not only quickly, but also swiftly. Doubly impressive.
And, fast, too.
@@Patriottoo2 and with haste.
I would even say it was expeditious.
Rapidly as well
I’ve found the synonym community. Thanks for existing. 💕
The chameleon was a bit slow figuring out how to imitate asphalt.
He was calling geico
The chameleon was in ‘’no f@ck given’’ mode
That's scary to see a snake stand up and move so quickly.
(Saw comment...)
AGREED! 👍
IF YOU THINK, "THAT'S BAD"...
YOU SHOULD SEE THOSE: "BLACK MAMBA SNAKES!" 😳
(Action-packed. 😄)
THEY'RE ALSO: "DEADLY!" ☠️
Wow! What a beautifully, cogent, hyper-aware creature!
The amount of intelligence in the eyes was very noticeable...
Pppyyt)
I didn’t know a boomslang could rear it’s front up like that. I thought cobras and mambas and their cousins could do that.
ROFL, it's an incredibly unintelligent animal.
@@HugeInsectincorrect
@@HugeInsect yeah, has real trouble with calculus.
Poor rango. how it really ended
I almost forgot one of the antagonists is a Rattle Snake with a revolver
@@ben10inches well the Jake the rattle snake in rango has a gatlin gun
🤣
Snake 🐍: thanks I don't have to eat for a year now.
Chameleon: you're welcome
he was like "this is mine now" and got the fuck outta there
That Chameleon was wildly overconfident in it’s natural ability.
Their only defense is a show. Their bite is very weak. Compared to a boomslang with some of the most toxic venom on the planet.
**Snake looks directly into the camera** "You sssssaw nothing...." **Darts into the underbrush with his prize**
Chameleon - let me rest
Snake - rest in peace
What a strength this little snake has, amazing.
Boomslang is basically a much much much much scarier version of a normal venomous snake
bleed out of every orifice you're fuckin right
Snake was like: "You had enough photos for today, I am going to eat in peace" :)
That was so wierd looking... the way it carried off the chameleon.... and those eyes are creepy too
Amazing footage...... Thanks...
Serperior Vs Kecleon.
Serperior uses Bite.
ITS SUPER EFFECTIVE!!
Last thought of the chameleon -"I picked the wrong colour for that pavement"...🦎🐍
I just love it when snakes lift their heads up like a periscope when searching for food.
Like snakes, chameleons are cold-blooded reptiles and hence cannot produce their own body heat. It may have been warming itself on the asphalt, just as snakes do sometimes. Knowing that, maybe the boomslang was staking the place out -- just waiting for an easy meal. What's amazing is the first few frames where the boomslang is lifting about 4 ft. of its body straight up like a periscope watching its prey! It's so cool how it puts it's whole body into reverse without taking its eyes off the camera person (who the snake is clearly watching), then it does that incredible 180 lunge into the brush... that wasn't slithering... that was some Fast and Furious driving there!
actually, boomslangs are diurnal and have excellent eyesight
And to add to that, the snake was reversing because it was getting itself out of the chameleon's grip
Since nobody seems to have told you I'll fill you in; "quickly and swiftly" is redundant. One of those words is sufficient.
Incorrect. Quick is a short duration, Swift is sustained high rate of speed.
Sufficient, quick, short duration, s-sustained speed, redundant, gamer- **brain explodes**
It’s overkill. I should have looked for this comment instead of making my own correction.
@@sw417 It’s redundant, even if the words are not exactly the same. Redundant subjects have become the rage.
@@martinphilip8998 Quick and Swift are not redundant. Quick is over a very short period of time. Swift is sustained speed. Facts. My Subaru WRX is quick, the Dodge Charger ( and cars like it ) are swift. Know the difference.
Chameleon’s lives matter! Justice for the little critters.
CLM
In Nature, that IS justice.
BOOMSLANGS LIVES MATTER TOO!! The cutest most unassuming venomous snake there is lol
yeah i would have stepped on that snake's head.....in my metal shoes even though i believe they aren't venomous getting bitten prob wouldnt be fun anyway
@@mooknick242 You're a cruel person.
Bruh. That legit was both amazing and terrifying to watch. Well not really more amazing than anything lol
When the snake first attacks the chameleon changes to snakes colour for a short period.
Chameleon is like dude, I'm one of you. Chill
Snake: we are cannibals.
lol
When you haven’t put in points in Stealth and have a shitty ping in a PvP zone.
Guess the Chameleon got an F in school in learning how to blend in with the pavement.
Also note that Jackson Chameleons move about as quickly as sloths. NIce to see that the snake put it out of it’s misery quickly, not like a cat.
Amazing..
Chameleons have no defense other than changing their colour.
+Carlos Amaral HAH, IM GREY NOW, WHAT NOW, SNAKE?! Oh, right. You're a snake. Well. It was a nice life.
+Gavin Mahoney LOL!
+Carlos Amaral Chameleons only change color based upon mood anyways. So it doesn't really help them.
+Carlos Amaral They have guns as well.
***** Indeed!
Chameleon: Darn I forgot to turn on my road camouflage.
I love the way it looks like us when we have to carry the groceries from the car after long day.
“*deep sigh* alright, here we go, final furlong! *lifts the prey off the street*”
The boomslang is a very snakey sort of a snake.
Awesome sighting again Safwanah ,well done!!
Muhammad Kara She was so lucky.
***** definitely, patience pays off.
Hmm... "Swiftly and quickly".
Direct from the department of redundancy department.
aslo it has to be fast, speedy and rapidly
yeah... snacked away pretty well.
Hi what's the difference between quickly and swiftly?
Great footage
Hey there citizen, I'm the state patrol snake, I see that you are hanging out in the road? Don't you know how dangerous that is? I can't have that, I'm gonna move you ever here ok? So lets g.. HEY!? HOLD STILL, STOP RESISTING, STOP RESISTING!
+Dan Sturby amazing
lmao xD
😭😭😭😭😭
Its been 5 years how are you😊
Vegans be like: wow so cool! Nature is awesome
But when a human does that to livestock: WHAT THE HELL, WHY ARE YOU KILLING INNOCENT ANIMALS!?!?!?!
We are not obligate carnivores neither are we killing for survival
Animals eat meat for survival, obligate carnivores can’t go without meat and omnivores like bears generally prefer other sources of food and use meat as a rare complement. Humans? We raise cattle for the sole purpose of killing and eating them, wasting thousands of pounds of meat every year and destroying our planet. Raising cattle is extremely polluting and the meat and dairy industry is responsible for a large portion of human pollution. Wild animals hunt because they need to, and if every human HUNTED instead of buying prepackaged meat I can assure you most people would go vegan too. We’ve grown desensitized to the process of taking a life to feed our own. And this, to most vegetarians and vegans, is horrible. When you’re aware of the death you cause by eating meat, and I mean AWARE, you just shut it down. It’s horribly painful to know your existence has caused the suffering and death of other innocent beings for the sake of pleasure and efficiency…
@@wildmoose6934 Yea exactly
But still
COUGH NOT ALL VEGANS BUT VEGAN TEACHER COUGH
I hate vegans
Snake thinks "Okay, I better get off the road and enjoy my meal in a more safe and quiet spot!"
Well captured - right place , right time.
Wow this video is amazing keep up the good work
Danny Meow Thanks so much Danny :)
Glad you like it.
Will try our best to keep it up.
That chameleon looks like he's out of his element creeping along on a paved road. I've watched other videos of them crawling on the ground. It doesn't look right. Aren't they suppose to be arboreal?
nht o pkkkjhgb1 rea kmiy
Bruce Lindquist Yeah! That's why I think this is a set up so he can make a Utube video ! Poor chameleon got to be the sacrificial victim !
It might be he was trying to defend itself from the snake.
he was already bitten once i think
I love the video, and nature! Thanks!
Hi I really love watching your videos. They are amazing. Xxxx
Chameleon: “Aw, crap; can’t blend into the asphalt - it’s too flat. Maybe if I wait until he’s close enough & blend into *HIM* . . . .”
exactly ..... he was like ..... let me wait this out and see how it goes
what r you thinking the snake wanted only take away the chameleon by the street. its dangerous to sit in the street
He ordered his food to go lol 🤣
Great video, so much so I had to look up up the "Boomslang" or "Dispholidus typus." I'm more intrigued by the disposition of this snake VS "Crotalus scutulatus" or "Green Mojave" by the locals. It's disposition is the total opposite of the Boomslang, hence the "green" in the name. This snake actually chased me down when I happened upon it in the Mojave desert once.
Love these vids from this channel lol
***** Awesome!! I really appreciate the support :)
I didn't knew boomslangs could do that 0:04
Gilles Delhaye Yeh, when there is long grass, they do that to look over the grass.
***** i learn't something new then :-)

He thought he was safe on the road,dude stopped in quick for some Drive-thru fast food.
yeah but can the snake swallow it?

Damn Boomslang, you scary!
chameleon was like : "damn! forgot to download the Blacktop camouflage!"
He hits the edge of the game world at the end
Great video. Such an innocuous sounding name (at least for those of us who don't live near them) sounds like it should be a dance move of a guitar riff. That chameleon new it was in BIG trouble as soon as it saw it though.
Chameleons clearly aren’t equipped to fight back... they’re just walking around waiting to be eaten 🤦🏾♂️
I had a chameleon before, he would hiss and lunge at you if he was mad.
One of the most venomous snakes in Namibia. The anti-venom for this snake is very scarce!
Drop for drop the most venomous snake in Africa actually. Anti-venom is scarce because bites are scarce. Boomslangs are shy and very unlikely to attack.
Homie is more quicker than my doordash delivery driver…
What a cute snek. Venomous I see. Nice strike 😍
staged, planted chameleon on the road. 🤐
Just happened to have camera on record.
Exactly, I’ve never seen a chameleon leave the safety of a tree or an environment it can’t blend in to.
you've clearly never been to Africa. Chameleons are plenty roadkill
@@pisces363 They do have to get down when they want to move to another tree, but they are at their most vulnerable. I've seen another once caught in the open as well.
I guess changing color wasn't enough
Especially in the middle of the road.
Boomslang is such a cool name 😎
That was awesome. Dude was not playing. He was hungry. Snatched him right up. Great video
That was not quick for the chameleon...
Most predators have one kill technique in common: bite the neck to control the head.
Just like my ex
Awesome video. Aren't "quickly" and "swiftly" the same thing though?
That's what I thought
UA-cam recommend me to this and I can't seem to get over it.
Catch: The snake doesn't even kill the lizard in this video... much less quickly and swiftly.
Being chomped by a highly venomous snake when you're the size of a hamster tends to be fatal.
Chameleon could have easily survived if he knew to strike first strike hard with no mercy
The enemy deserves no mercy!
SWEEP THE LEG
Johnny, he's a creampuff!
What's the difference between quickly and swiftly?
And five minutes later, no one would have known anything was ever there.
***** Has happened to me so often when I arrive 5 minutes late to a leopard and other stuff
ultimateaiming nobody nobody
Quickly AND swiftly? That's fast as fuck!
Not just quickly but swiftly as well?
I guess he didn't have his camouflage turned on...
your comment deserves a lot more love ! hahaha
Poor Chameleon can't do any thing in front of enemy 😢😢😢
Where is this?
Beautiful
:'( that poor chameleon.
how is that skinny snake going to down such a large chameleon.
+Freddy Krueger I guess you don't know much about snakes.....
+Freddy Krueger Snake have the ability to dislocate their jaw and put it back in place which allows them to eat animals larger than them.
still looks like quite a mouthfull
***** Giggity.
+Freddy Krueger roger federer lol
Title and video both are good
Well that snake sure lowered the boom on the chameleon! Notice the snakes' color greenish just like the bush does at this time of year.
Never have the word meal in your name. Even if it’s spelt differently.
Hahahaha good one 😂😆
chameleon was like..oh shit..camouflage into something nasty....Donald TRumphhh"
+Liberty AboveAllElse do you actually think they have a chance? i am sorry bud but you will be dissapointed.
+Liberty AboveAllElse agreed.
Gus Moreno hehe look now bitch
Gustavo Moreno this made my day
LORE AIRSOFT don't be rube
That chameleon didn't have a whole lot of karma going for it.
Chameleon: Let I change colour and relax.
Snake: Hold my heat sensing pit.
The snake is gonna change him it shit color!
god was unfair to chameleons. ..they cant run..fly.. *sobbing*

+Tebogo Mapugwi Chameleons are tree creatures. This one was on the pavement. Chameleon's fault :P
You can see it turn gray right as the snake attacks, too late to be useful.
God doesn't exist, religious fanatic.
Poor Chameleon.
It's nature..
iSlitherySnake its sad that it dies but thats just life for animals
