i was born in Sumatra, Around Kerinci mountain. Jambi province, i have been seen phyton 15 meters long most living in deep rainforest back to 1973.. i have been to bukit lawang last time 1994. thank for your video ramain me when i was childhood
@@Edy077. that's interesting. It seems pythons that large don't get reported in recent times. The biggest ones today seem to around 7 meters (of the ones that have actually been measured). I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that it brought back good memories for you! I would like to see the peat swamps of Jambi one day.
@@JoshPhangurha @JoshPhangurha Hi Josh, Thanks for your line. I hope you are well, I appreciated. if we are see what you see in your exploration, is beautiful. some of them still virgin. in my era not much people clearing rainforest. very limited in need only for farming padi field or just rubber plantation, 15 m could be swallowing 400kg to 500kg wildbore. you lucky if you found someday. and I believe you will. Good luck. enjoy your delicious food😎

This is so awesome to see! I went there on a whim, as a random diversion when I was making a trip to Thailand about 10 years ago. I'm not sure how I ever stumbled up on it, but I found a guided jungle trek and went for it (having never done anything like that). It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life. Ended our day's hike in a river, closely followed by not one, but TWO river monitors, who then proceeded to be harassed by a troupe of monkeys loll. I wish i knew beforehand what a biodiversity treasure this place is and was a little more adventurous. I dream about going back and still hope to somebody. Thanks for the video :)
That's a lovely story! Although Sumatra has seen a lot of deforestation, the forest that remains is some of the most enchanting habitat I've had the pleasure of exploring. Glad you liked the video 👍
Wow Josh - this video is SO cool! I felt like I was watching a TV documentary - how amazing. Love to see a focus on some of the lesser celebrated species of the Leuser Ecosystem. Amazing work.
Sir, please find out about the "jali snake" originating from Sumatra which can make sounds like a chicken or bird. which became a legend in Sumatra. This snake has a characteristic comb on its head or horns. and what is often said is quite large. Until now, its existence and form are still a mystery.
Really enjoyable. I am an animal lover. Snakes are fascinating. But thank you for not trying to entertain and not bringing evolution into the mix. I'll be subscribing... More please
I really missed the sound of the jungle nearby my village in sumatera back then in 1990s, the sound of monkeys, birds, everything was loudly magical. But the last time i went back there, the sound has been dissapeared😢
That's a sad story and it reflects the level of deforestation in Sumatra over the past 40 years or so. I wanted to make sure everyone watching would be able to hear the special sound of this incredible forest. Thanks for watching.
About 6 years ago or so, there was a javan spitting cobra right at our backyard. My mother called me to come to look at it and we didn't kill it as it slithered away from our house. What a sight that really was, and we live in suburb housing complex near the city
Indonesia is rich with natural resources, bio biversity , flora and fauna , diversity culture , language , foods, 3 different time zone , archipelago island , and many population, beautiful craft aswell and unique, good economy growth, so many volcano , than strong army . I think Europe country is very important to have diplomatic relationship with Indonesia archipelago country .
Aku sudah tekan subcribe menunggu petualangan mu selanjutnya,pasti seru ya 😂😂😂 meski aku takut sekaligus kagum melihatmu memegang ular,salut untukmu,semoga kau sukses selalu ❤🎉
Di Hutan lindung Sumatera masih ada Harimau , anda harus berhati-hati , karena hewan ini tidak mudah menampakkan diri , namun tiba-tiba datang dan menyerang...😊
I was in Bukit Lawang last month! This is amazing because I'm seeing so many animals in this documentary which I didn't see there in person. How long did you spend there?
At 5:08, the Wagler's pi-viper has loosen its coiling and turn 'S' shape means ready for attack. I think you should not be so close in this situation. Overal it is great video differnt drom the most video I have seen from Bukit Lawang.
There are many amazing vipers throughout Indonesia. As long as you watch your step/hands and they are not provoked, they tend to be calm animals that don't want to bite people 👍 Remember, they are also important predators as they eat rodents, lizards, frogs and other small animals, which helps in maintaining a balanced ecosystem. (Sorry, I wish I could reply in Bahasa!)
@@soyad9840 No, they're not as bad as they're made out to be. As long as I'm respectful and keep out of the striking range of venomous ones, little can go wrong (close ups are taken with a zoom lens).
Here is a snake and baby story to make ya think twice about pet pythons: My stepbrother woke-up in the morning to his huge reticulated python that escaped confinement. It was stretched up the stairs with it's head in his baby's room. Wife said one is gonna gtfo, either the snakes by choice or him And the snakes if he balked. I could've gotten both, they were breaking walls and knocking plaster off the ceiling, escaping rooms dedicated to them. It isn't like little snakes, 20-some foot retics can press with the force of tons against objects and just maintain that. They can punch through drywall and plaster just eating and not really trying, just bracing themselves. Thinking back, it was pretty insane to have 3 small children with 2 gigantic snakes in the basement confined by drywall. He was maybe 21... reckless youth. *(sigh)
While I understand your concern, I purposely didn't give an exact location. I haven't provided any more information on the location than what is already widely available for this species. It's difficult to find a balance between the importance of recording species to increase the biodiversity value of an area, while ensuring that exact locations are not available for the wrong people.

hello from Depok, a small town below Jakarta. as an act of support, i didn't skip the ads through this video. thank you for making this video🙏
Thanks for the support 🙂 I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
Very good documentary definitely a place I dream of going, hopefully there can be more preservation for such diverse places like this

That's sounds like an awesome encounter! And well done for not killing it
@@JoshPhangurha yeah, my mother adores snake actually
@@JoshPhangurha also, thanks for the documentary, it was a pleasure as i don't see many recent documentary about Indonesia's wildlife
@@iamleoooo My pleasure 👍
You read my mind. When showing the cave centipede, my thought was preferring a scolopendra and the next was that. Well done.
First I've seen your channel, and I love it - keep up the awesome work! Spectacular video!
@@Steevee14 thank you so much, I'm working on another one!
Such a wondeful job done by Bobby and his team… i want to go back there !
amazing documentary. great work and great respect to you.
Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant freaking film! Tysm for posting it for us
Thank you! It's my pleasure - i'm glad you liked it.
Thanks for the amazing video josh, i was born and grew up there on Leuser you make me miss my village 😁.
Thank you and what a place to grow up. I can't even imagine having grown up in England! I'm glad the video gave you some nostalgia :)
Indonesia is rich with natural resources, bio biversity , flora and fauna , diversity culture , language , foods, 3 different time zone , archipelago island , and many population, beautiful craft aswell and unique, good economy growth, so many volcano , than strong army .
I think Europe country is very important to have diplomatic relationship with Indonesia archipelago country .
To the point :
Indonesia is the second largest biodiversity on planet Earth after Brazil ( Amazon Rainforest & Amazon Basin )
I was born in Sumatra, precisely in Bengkulu, but I have never seen a rafflesia.
Quite interesting !!! 👌✌👍👍
Good video, i think im want hunting photo in Sumatra❤
Brilliant video. Really enjoyed it. Been to Bukit Lewang myself & it’s an amazing place for sure.👍
Thank you, Martin. I appreciate the kind words. I'm glad you had a good time in Bukit Lawang as well!
Outstanding 🫡
Thank you!
Man, i know deep inside, you want to bring them home but you can't, right? They're so beautiful 🤌
Quite the opposite, actually. I'd much rather see them in their stunning natural habitat where they belong!

Hey Josh Great video!! May i ask what camera have u got ?

Thanks for you concern, but I was using a zoom lens at this moment so I am further away from the snake than it seems. Glad you like the video!
Im from bandung west java so proud of you mate
Thank you! Maybe I'll make it to West Java one day.
@@JoshPhangurha maybe go to ujung kulon national park
Nice one mate 🦎
Thanks!
aku pikir indonesia tidak memiliki viper, ternyata mereka ada di hutan indonesia.
mungkin aku harus hati hati jika memasuki hutan

Are you just promoting extinction to this lizard by mentioning the exact location.
While I understand your concern, I purposely didn't give an exact location. I haven't provided any more information on the location than what is already widely available for this species.
