      Really, you don't know why? People still hate these animals. For proof you need only look as far as the videos of them being killed or otherwise abused. Plus, anything truly educational won't generally get the number of views that titillation does. Perhaps the only things that people will will admit to liking about them are their skins and watching them eat.

    I’ve never heard of a meerkat killing any snakes. Usually they’re just trying to run them off. Meerkats are pretty neat animals too. I’ve seen videos where one took a bite from a puff adder and another was bit on the face by a Cobra. After being sick for 2-3 days they both survive. Really amazing for such a tiny animal. They must share some venom resistance with the mongoose. I know they can still die from bites so it must depend on the amount injected. I find it fascinating how animals in the same region evolved together. That yellow cape cobra was beautiful but my favorite snake is the Gaboon. I enjoyed your video on the Hybrid Gaboon, that probably the most beautiful snake I’ve ever seen

    Snakes are so maligned as an animal on land, like sharks are in the ocean.....
    To me they are amazing, and my encounters with them are once in Australia, a small brown snake, at a safe distance.
    We parted company, and it's still a fond memory from my younger days....
    We dont have them here in NZ, thus I enjoy watching wonderful videos like this to see a close encounter with reptiles.....I mean as close that neither the snake or those filming them arent harmed or injured.

      Thank you and apologies for too many ads. It is tricky with ads on UA-cam as they appear much less with most people. They appear to each viewer differently according to country and other parameters. On the other hand, we need to keep the ads appear on our videos, otherwise we would need to stop doing this job and do something else.

    Wonder why a cape cobra would want to be bright yellow in a red desert.. you would think that would be the opposite of what it would want but maybe evolution was more concerned with saying "I'm venomous" then blending in.

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  3 роки тому +1

      Very light color certainly helps these cobras to not overheat in the middle of the day. We haven't seen many snakes active in the open habitat in the heat of the day like these ones. It was almost 40 degrees Celsius and cobras were active. As you say, it might also be a warning, yellow color is often used for warning in nature.
