SAVING KING COBRAS IN BALI! (An Original Short Film)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- The king cobra is the most revered and feared snake in Bali, Indonesia and for good reason. There is no antivenom on the island and one bite from these cobras could kill 20 people! In this video I head out with the Bali Reptile Rescue and @WickensWickedReptiles to help save these reptiles from the people who may kill them on sight. This is a Reptile Adventure you don't want to miss!

I love these documentary style films you do your work and passion u put into your films are truly amazing plus the chemistry you and Adam have working together makes all the more greater. Hope to meet u all at animal con this year
Thank you! I’ll be there!
Hey. Punctuation exists for a reason. Use it.
Cobras are so amazing and beautiful. I hope you and Adam had an awesome trip Bali
We did and can’t wait to go back!
Hi Dav What an advernture. How awesome to see your first wild cobra on a nest of eggs. 31 eggs. To catch her, and relocate her to a safe place. And Bali Cobra rescue will incubate her eggs. And release them. Then another female, to take worms out of her mouth, and set her free. A rat snake, and a spitting cobra. You and Adam will never forget your trip to Bali. ❤🐍Cindy
Missed opportunity for a cheeky Indiana Jones temple of Doom reference with that old bridge 😂
The mama cobra was so beautiful!
I bet the rush was amazing when you held the king
Like nothing else I’ve ever done! One of the best days of my life!
Been waiting for this. Love your short film style videos
Glad you like them!
amazing video! great job dav!
Thanks!
I loved this! I spent almost the entire time like 👀
Such gorgeous animals! Must have been magnificent to see them in the wild
This was incredible!
Nice job. Great video.
OMG! That poor cobra in the beginning was in shed!! How scary for poor baby! ❤️ your stuff-thanks Dave!
Glad to hear that!
Last time we were in Bali we were on the river and one swam across the river and also the dingy we were in, that was exhilarating. Those rescue guys do a great job. Dav an Adam thank you for traveling, knowledge and filming all your adventures, luv your work both of you.
I love the Patyis rat snakes they get huge.
Me too!
Can u do a follow up on how many eggs hatch please! Awesome vid!
I tried to add it to this film but they never sent me the video
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures gotcha!
Once again, amazing work!
I have waterproof steel toe boots I bought just for herping and looking for rattlesnakes in Oklahoma lol they're a little heavy but definitely would give some protection just in case 😊
Dav I’m giving you a nick name. hence forth you shall be known as…
Darth, I mean ….
Dav “never stops”Kaufman.
Every video your in a new place, a new country, a new part of the world, a new reptile paradise. Thats why, in my personal opinion, you are the daddy of youtube herpers. The king, the emperor of em all! And Adams your herping jester. (Sorry Adam but I couldn’t resist. You’re awesome too buddy. Awesome at bustin king eggs)😂
Thank you! I really appreciate that!
I'm surprised you don't have you venomous license. -Neal
Awesome work brother you need to do a video on pectinatas the blue or yellows in the wild and do tegus in the wild that would blow up like the ball pythons
I wasnt keen on watching this video at the start because I watched other videos about it and I thought it would be just a rehash of the same info. I really enjoyed your take and the video wqs excellent. Your presented the info in a very different way
👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏🧡
As beautiful as Bali is, I’m so glad I don’t live there! 😆
I don’t agree with that. I can see myself living there happily. I loved that island!
Did u smashhh in Bali? Hahahhahahahahahha
Naja sputatrix is the Javan spitter not indo chinese
Love this style and amazing work! I love the kings! They are the largest venomous snake in the world and the smartest, who wouldn’t live that??!? You should make another YT channel called “rattle tv”
Adam= Frodo
Dāv= Gandalf the brown beard
Yes they are!
💯 😂
What an awesome show! Love watching Dav and Adam herping together, always guaranteed a laugh 🤣🤣
So good seeing people helping the king cobras by relocating them.
FYI Dav; when Jack Fruit is off the tree it’s known as “Jack Fruit in space” (as it falls), and then “Jack Fruit on the ground.” Then as it decomposes it’s called “Jack fruit that’s gone off” all are very technical names.
@@davidvento5481 I think that Dāv was hoping that someone would come up with the term, "Jack-off-the-tree" fruit. ha ha.
@@Steevee14
Ya think? 😂
Please come to black house Panji Petualang in Indonesia, he is a president of reptile Indonesia... There you can find a King Cobra coservation, and a lot of reptile. He is amazing...
Extremely dope video! They’re so fast. The way that girl turned around on Adam was super freakin quick. I had to go change my underwear on that one 🤣🤣🤣
Lol! That was a bit hair raising for sure
The growls she let loose made the hair on my arms stand up! Such beautiful animals! I love your movie formats! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
I didn't know, thank you!
#RattleOn
I jumped like 16 times watching this video!! 😅
I just can’t tell you how close to my screen these type of episodes have me.. 😵💫 🫵🏼 you both rock. @WWR
Thank you!
That momma king is absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you so much for this one Dav. This trip is on my bucket list for sure
You bet!
Thanks! This is my favorite project you've done Dav! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who talks sh*t to Siri 😂
She has to feel better after having the 15 worms removed. Glad there are people willing to relocate the cobras to safer places. Loved the bridge scene 😆 I'd do that to my younger sister!
Lol! I’m surprised he set foot on that
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures
I’m not (”Canadians,” you know...) 😂
_j/k_
She was so small for 31 eggs. Amazing. Shes needs a couple nice pythons 2 gain some weight. 31 baby cobras released into the park.
And those babies were all released after they hatched
That place is absolutely beautiful. You did an awesome job on this Dāv. Your videos deserve much more views, and I will help and tell everyone.. because what you do and how you do it is, well, amazing! Thank you.....o, so what was the punishment, you shaving your hair¿ lol, no, Don't do that. You and Adam are perfect together for traveling and I love your humor. Thx
That was AWESOME!! Such a great adventure and really educational. I just loved every minute of it. It's wonderful the rescue people are dedicated to saving those beautiful animals. How interesting that those snakes are so involved in protecting their young.Thank you for making this great video.
Just discovered this wonderful channel dav is the Steve Irwin of the modern day. I can see young kids watching these videos as I did Steve when I was younger
Thank you so much!
What a beautiful cobra! LOVE the new film style. Keep it up!
Nobody:
Adam: I'm basically a monkey🤣🤣
Amazing video as per usual. Such cool snakes thank you for sharing with us!
It’s Adam’s self-deprecating humor and the chemistry between the two friends that’s so excellent.
Glad you enjoyed!
36:01 I guess you could say the cobra was…. Bamboozled
This video was amazing! To be able to see them in the wild is pretty cool,but,to see a nest with eggs,was epic! Super jealous. Lol
Very epic!
Man that's fantastic what a epic journey to be able to save cobra's like that they are beautiful and people think they are out to kill you in reality they just want to get away.
What do you call a female king cobra? A queen cobra lol...
Lol
Such an amazing adventure. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
1500 metres is just short of a mile.
America really needs to learn the metric system.
It was a joke. I think in metric and I’m American
I would love to see Chandler on one of these documentaries with you Dāv
I keep telling him to get on a plane with me
Wow. Interesting episode
This is animal documentray on another level. You guys did a really good job on this one 🤘
PS: Speaking of Cobras, did you know that there's a type of Cobra in the Philippines that locals have known to do vocalizations in akin to geckos or even rooster calls?
My grandmother used to tell me stories about how when rice fields were more dominant, they could hear a certain type of call every morning, and they believe it was a cobra.
I mentioned this story to an ex-marine and he confirmed it to be a type of cobra.
Interesting, or what?
King cobras have modified glottis structures to allow them to growl, but no other snake makes anything like the squeaking or barking noises that geckos make. What they were hearing is far more likely to actually be a gecko, or a frog, the latter extremely likely if it was common when rice paddies were around. And as much as they might learn about human culture or geography, I would not take ecological advice from a marine unless they were specifically the designated researcher for a unit.
Thank you! I did know that. Cool huh?
@Carlton Carnivores Well, we know it wasn't a specific gecko or frog because we know the common native species. For the more exotic ones, you'd have to go deep into the mountains.
The ex-(Philippine)Marine holds weight because they regularly patrolled the entire area, jungles, and mountain ranges. They know which animals to look out for, which ones they can eat, etc. Same with plants.
@@MaliciousMollusc could be anything down to insects sounds , unless one witness it live that a cobra squeak or bark , i call it a tall tale, which species is in your area ? a samar ?
The funny thing is how easy it is for even the people to live in a place to overlook some very, very common animals, and how easy it is for what people think are remote, isolated species to suddenly show up in a foothill village etc.
And what I said about the Marines holds; jack of all trades they must be, but full encyclopedic knowledge of an area's flora and fauna is rare. Plus, fact of: there are no records in scientific observations to back up the claim of a barking or squeaking or otherwise calling cobra, and as many expeditions have been mounted particularly recently to record the wildlife there, if it were something commonly heard at any time in the past we would have an article about it. Until someone can offer that...the growling of a king cobra is about it for snake vocals outside of hissing, especially since they don't have vocal cords.
That was amazing! I’m so jealous that you can do all that. I went to Antigua many years ago and actually held a wild Antiguan racer, I was nearly in tears because at the time they were critically endangered. Keep up the amazing work!
That would have been so cool!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures wow thanks for replying and I do think I need to put some context on this. I didn’t just go and pick up a random snake! There were conservationists on Bird Island and someone shouted does anyone want to see a snake? I ran over to them and they were saying about how endangered the snake was, I (of course) asked if I could hold her. I did get some strange looks but when I said I had kingsnakes at home they handed her to me. She was gorgeous, I was so in my element and didn’t want give her back!
You can totally see the track from the King Cobra leading away from its nest. I've never seen anything like it. Truly amazing.
Yes, king cobras usually leave a distinctive track in the forest leaf litter. uh-huh.
I had to stop……”and other thesaurus terms”. Lmao! 🤣😂 That was great! Ok, I’ll finish watching this AMAZING film now.
OMS, Dāv!! She is beautiful!!! I teared up just seeing her. What a majestic, gorgeous queen-King!!🐍❤️🐍
I had to come back at the end……I wish the Cobra’s knew what you were doing. Knew you were helping them. This was fantastic Dāv!! Thank you!!
Lol
That was wild!
I work hard to accept that these magnificent animals must be disturbed and relocated, but, oh, how it hurts my heart.
Right?
Yes, it's certainly hard to accept that relocating the cobra on its nest/eggs was necessary, since it had already lived in that area, apparently without incident, for its entire life.
I love King Cobra’s and I always think of the females as Queens , majestic and oh SO intelligent snakes … wonderful , thank you 😊
What an incredible experience for you and Adam!!! Thank you for sharing this adventure. Great video as always!!! I love your short films!!!
Hi Dav What an exciting video. Your first wild cobra, and on a nest of eggs. Thanks for b r in hi l
saving her and her eggs. That other poor cobra had 15 worms removed. The snake must feel better now. Bali looks so beautiful. ❤🐍Cindy
Thank you Cindy!
Good job boys.
Me and my step son sat down and watched this together really enjoyed it Dav killed again my guy keep on keeping on, my kids love your videos we love watching the Rattle on awards thanks again for it all Dav!!!!!!!!!
Love hearing that! Rattle On!
I really enjoyed this documentary. This trip to Bali has been so interesting. Thanks Dav’ for bringing us along!❤Rattle on!
King cobra is a beautiful animal. Do we as Americans love them so much bcuz we don’t live amongst them everyday usually? I don’t think the people that live with them in the wild cares so much for them.
💜💚🥰🥰💚💜
Thank God for these people caring for these snakes.
What an exciting adventure.
I'm really not trying to be an ass! But she really just wants to be left alone and if you want to keep seeing them there in the future, then let her feel safe enough to lay her clutch and stop poking and prodding her lol! That poor little thing! Okay I just realized that they were going to kill them and they had to catch her and take the eggs away lol. And I'm sorry for coming off like an ass! I know that you (Dāv) really do care about the well-being of the animals you encounter lol
I like your videos. I would really like to see you do a video about pumpkin toadlets.They are said to be recently discovered. They are very small and bright orange. They are very clumsy. I think that they are cool looking little things and I know that people would like to breed them.
Oh wow so king cobras stay with the eggs? I figured the were like king snakes and leave the eggs asap so they done accidentally eat the babies
She builds the nest layer by layer. She goes inside and curls up in a ball. She lays her eggs in the cavity she creates and exits the nest. She then lays on top of the nest and does not move. Incubationis 72 days. She she sheds a skin 1 week before they hatch and then leaves nest to go eat. She stays on nest for over 2 months. She knows when to leave from vibrations from eggs.
@@bernardmarsh4133 wild man! That’s so cool thanks for taking the time to explain.
@@pythonalley8882 My pleasure. I am Bali Reptile Rescue. That is me driving Dav and Adam everywhere. Had the bestest time. Those guys Rock. Saw your question. Just wanted to help. Please support Dav and Adam. They supported us. If you want more details contact us
up level movie documentary. You guys are so passionate and motivated by what you live and you communicate trough the film so much of this amazing wildlife. Nature is fantastic and earth is only one. Beside that, Shout out to the Balinese rescuer team to make this incredible job and to be so respectfull of the wildlife.
Thank you!
It’s the bits of trivia and humorous inferences that make Dav’s channel so great. No other herpticulture UA-camr has mentioned that the cobra utilizes the heat generated by the decomposing vegetation in it’s nest to help incubate it’s eggs. Fun fact; decomposing organic matter can also cause an eerie bio-luminescent “cold” light when ambient air temp and other external conditions are right. I’ve seen this strange phosphorescence (known as “Will o’ The Wisp”) while on herping expeditions in NJ’s Pine Barrens. Btw; that area is a treasure-trove for herpers and naturalists alike! Also, the large-leafed foliage Dav chooses to accessorize with is in the family of “Elephant Ears.” The name has in no way influenced Dav’s choice of this plant for said garment... lol
_”Embrace your strange and rattle on” words to live by._
Elephant ears? That’s what I’m talking about! Thanks for the awesome comment!
@@davkaufmansreptileadventures An awesome comment for an awesome dude👍🏻
PHEW! That ruptured egg looked freakin nasty lol
What a fantastic film that was, thank you so much for teaching me so much more about the majestic King Cobra!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Have you ever thought about getting a off road cruiser bike or quad road legal and go to really remote amazing places that people don't go and find new animals and snake s would love to see that
Super cool. Been looking forward to this video.
So jealous of your experience! Thank you as always for your amazing videos dav
Thank you!
manhood must be pretty shy or fragile if it breaks when falling on your butt.
Great video. Which camera do you use? Greetings from Germany.
This is Awesome Dav.
Thanks Liz!
Right on Dāv...........
Psyched for you brother......
One x
Great vid, Dāv! ❤
Thank you! 😁
Oh, man, that is beautiful! ...looking at one centimeter of a snake nose lol
That second king cobra really was growling and hissing😮
so do they find the male and take it where they took the female, i would hope
And again another award worthy video from one of the best youtube reptile experts ever
Thank you!
This is awesome man! You have inspired me so much and I love the videos. Keep up the good work!
Glad to hear it!
wonder why the one egg ruptured though, looks fresh
Came for the snakes, stayed coz of Dāv. Best short films ever.
Thank you!
A wild king cobra would be a dream come true to see. I hope the reptile rescue has educational programs in place or at least being developed though, relocating will only go so far especially as people encroach further. I'm surprised though that such an attitude is held toward them, considering the reverence that Hindu culture typically has toward snakes, and especially cobras...
I wondered that myself
I'm so excited to watch this! (As soon as the ads play out) 😁
As always, fantastic video. Great job man!!! 👏 🎉
Glad you enjoyed it!
Are you related to the creator of the tv show “Friends”?
Another amazing video by one of my favourite youtube channels. And the combination of Adam and Dav makes this even more amazing! ❤️
Thank you!
It’s so awesome that those kings have people to protect and relocate them! Great video!!!
I agree!!
KAUFMAN'S WICKED SOFT FURS
She was ready to bite the way she was gaping there. Also, it's too bad they couldn't just take her nest and eggs and relocate them with her.
The chances of her abandoning them was too high
Again Dav out of the park,and was in Bali for 3 weeks when I was in the service
Thanks!
They are so majestic they really are kings.
Agreed!
