    Follow Living Zoology during their travel and work! This is the first episode of a new series from Costa Rica. Our trip started with a disaster - we crashed our rented car! Luckily nobody was badly injured. Since this accident we were already successful. During our first night of herping we found several cool snake species, including venomous Terciopelo or Fer-de-lance (Bothrops asper) and Central American Jumping pit viper (Metlapilcoatlus mexicanus). You will see how we work with snakes and how we film them and take photos. Enjoy this episode and don't miss the next one - we will work with a bushmaster!

    Can you tell me what will happen if a king cobra and a terciopelo are going to fight each other? Who will win? Will the king cobra win because its main diet is other snakes? What if the terciopelo bites and injects venom into the king cobra first? Is the king cobra immune to the venom of other snakes? If the king cobra is going to fight against any other venomous snake, will the king cobra always win?

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  2 роки тому +1

      There won't be much fighting, a big King cobra will hunt and kill the Terciopelo. Kings are intelligent and when they attack a venomous snake they bite it behind the head so they cannot be bitten. Venom of other species has some effect on the King, it probably won't die but it has some effect. Watch our video of a King hunting: ua-cam.com/video/-GW7V7CbwRs/v-deo.html

    "venomous Terciopelo"? Is there such a thing as a non-venomous Terciopelo?

    • @LivingZoology

      Some viewers might not know if Terciopelo is venomous, so we try to mention this information often.

    Beautifully filmed such amazing snakes. The Eyelash Pit Viper was beautiful as was the Jumping Pit Viper. Many thanks again. Is the Fer De Lance and Terciepolo the same species?

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  2 роки тому +1

      Glad you enjoyed it, thank you!!! Yes, the same but nowadays only Terciopelo should be used. Fer-de-lance is a name used for several species of Bothrops in Latin America and it makes things confusing. It was originally used for Martinique lancehead.

      It is difficult to make everyone happy. Our behind the scenes videos are following our journeys and we want to show what we need to do to find snakes and get the footage we need. Many times people don't understand what it takes to do our work. We will post one long episode containing only the best snake /animal encounters from each series for those, who are only interested in our interactions with animals.
