Based on what I see here, it appears the adder had already been bitten at least once. The lack of defensive posture and the labored muscular contractions indicates a previous invenomation.
Michael Dusold thanks, I agree.
I thought the same thing.
How was the temperature? Many vipers slow down considerably in colder weather.
Jay Diesel was in summertime so it was warm.
Michael Dusold : I think you were bitten in the brain. Invenomation??? What a dumbass.
One of the best reasons to live in a cold place is you don't get this in your backyard. I like seeing this stuff at a distance.
That's one very good reason for me as well. I'm terrified of snakes❗
Totally agree! Upstate/Canadian border person here- this climate does have many benefits

I'm thinking I have a much better chance vs a snake then a bear
Haaha.. hello from MI.. truuuue dat 🤙🏼
Except the timber rattlers, they are found as far north as upstate NY, NH and Minnesota
Puff adder in Cobra do not come across each other, somebody created this fight
They live in Africa 🌍 lol what u expect
@@jadadiorwtf is that. I live in africa we don't have snacks. And how do you know that they live in africa
@@hamzanouiga8430 , a simple search says both live on the Savannahs of Africa.
@@hamzanouiga8430 Then what do you eat between meals when you're hungry??
Puff Adder native to Africa which has the Mozambique spitting Cobra, Forest Cobra, Cape Cobra and other species of Cobras all of which are snake eaters.
The Adder has already been bitten. Notice how it slowly tries to get away from the Cobra. It knows it's a goner already but is hoping to still get away. And the Cobra is singing "Another one bites the dust."
This is why I would never walk inside a bush. I can’t stand snakes.
Puff adders are one of the deadliest snake's in Southern Africa. Though it's not their fault. They're actually passive snake's and tend to avoid confrontation barring actually being attacked. they rely heavily on their camouflage and often end up being stepped on by humans. Hence their deadly reputation for retaliation. Also being so muscular makes them the fastest striking snake in the world. Ironic considering what you see in the video
How did it end……did the cobra eat the puff adder……obviously the adder was not going to survive the bite(s)…..did the cobra eat it?
Being that it's ophiophagus, the Cobra is most likely immune or has a
very high resistance to the Adder's venom. But unfortunately for the
Adder, it's not vice versa.
Its not Ophiophagus, its a Naja Nivea
*_"ophiophagus"? My goodness, where'd you get that million dollar word from? I really have to brush up on my vocab!_*
@@messono I know that the scientific name for King Cobras is "Ophiophagus hannah". But the "Ophiophagus" part translates to "snake eater". Therefore, any snakes that include other snakes in their diet can be considered "Ophiophagus".
@@sirtalis69 kings are technically not true cobras. Monocled cobras Egyptian cobras etc are ture cobras
And there are other true cobras that eats other snakes
Why does the puff adder try to strike?
Cobra is very clever,
I thought he is going away, but not, he was trying to find the right position to strike again.
@NowA NevA . Catty
zaki rajpoot Yup 👍. The closer to the head the better the venom works.
I think the cobra was looking for the puff adder's head so that it can swallow it whole but the puff adder knew about such intentions and kept on putting its head out of arms way. In frustration, the cobra bit the adder's back and left in a huff. You can see even snakes have emotions.
@@otisorichardson Snakes dont have emotions ffs. Get real. It just moved away to wait out the envenomation ... or was disturbed by the PERSON FILMING ... No ??
@@lizsteeds6697 you get real. Any fucking animal have emotions. Even crocodiles. They eat, sleep wake and and do that shit again right? Babies run away from predators who are bigger then it and they hunt on they own right? Don’t even pull up “oh that’s instinct that’s what they do” hell you can clearly see the puff adder trying to get away from the cobra knowing it could die. And the cobra is thinking that it should attack from the head and it would be a easy opportunity. Bet you used to think caveman didn’t have feelings too or apes. Shut the fuck up and go away.
Liaan, what happened between the two, did the Puff Adder get eaten? Interesting animal interaction.
I didn’t stay long enough to see if the Cobra came back to eat the Puff, but it is most likely what happened. Thanks for the comment
Great peek into the realm of the natural world! What were you hunting and did you put one in the freezer?
Unfortunately didn’t get anything. We where searching for Impala but kinda got taken away buy this event. Thanks for the comment
Thank you for wonderful video
It's strange how the Adder KNOWS it's already doomed by keeping the head away from the cobra!
I don't get why it doesn't strike back. I got venom of my own buddy. If I go, you coming with me🐍
@@lehlongwane thats what I thought too, there's no way I'd let it kill me then eat me. Its going down just to keep it from devouring me.😁
I expected more from Puff.
Same here😂😂😂, mind the Pun
Me too but think the puff was already bitten or injured being how slow it was moving. Somebody must have set this up.
Adder: I ain't scared. Ouch! What the hell was that!
Isnt that a gaboon viper?
Nope, they're not found in the area where this was shot in South Africa.
Thanks for answer.@@LiaanPienaar
Outstanding video
Will the venum of the king cobra affect a puff ader?
Yeah. All snakes venom hurts others except for themselves.
Cape cobra is known to envenomate puff adder over a period checking up on it and envenoming several more times. While the puff adder has some fight it will attempt to keep its head away from the cobra to avoid being swallowed head first as cobras prefer. One ordeal recorded by researchers lasted 36 hours.
Wow, very interesting. Thanks for the comment Jacques

We didn't see the beginning of the 2 snakes in counter. So it's possible the puff did bite the cape cobra and the cobra bite the puff in this case they both would just go off and die. Both snakes have immunity to venom but not the same venom. A cobra can take a bite from another cobra or a snake with same type of venom and the cobra will live. The puff can live from another puff bite or same type venom. But neither one can take each others bite. The puff is a Pit Viper the venom isn't the same as the cobras. I think since there's no video of the cobra eating the puff the 2 snakes bite each other in the beginning of their fight and they both went off and died. The cobra wouldn't feel the effects of the puff venom right away it's not that kind of venom like the cobra puff venom rots and eat tissue, blood becomes thin and hemorrhaging starts and many other nasty things. Cape Cobra venom works faster on your nervous system causing heart failure labored breathing unable to move so the cobra maynot act like he is bitten for a little while but he will Succumb to the puffs venom. The puff will have very sluggish movements pretty fast it will become slower and slower till it can't move then it will die... so the cobra maynot look like he was bitten but he could have been...
I agree, there is definitely a lump on the Cobra, but I assumed it was maybe a previous meal, might have been a bite from the Cobra. When I looked at the Puff adder afterwards I could see another bite mark so there was definitely some altercation before we got there. Thanks for the comment
Snakes are not always immune to their own venom. Their bodies naturally produce some of the same antivenin compounds that we synthetically manufacture to cure snakebites, but it's not a guarantee the snake will survive a bite from itself or another member of the same species, especially if it's a very high dosage or the snake is physically stressed, resulting in a compromised immune system.
Should be called "Snakes acknowledge each other's existence"
Or Peter Puffer
The longest one has bitten angrily
He turned antagonistic against the other.
Surprising. Puff adder seems like trying to avoid confrontation, but cobra seems intent on conflict!! I thought it would have been other way around!!
See how mean someone can be because they will still sucker-punch you even when you trying to walk away .
I believe new zealand has no snakes except for their prime Minister
🤣
🤣🤣🤣
....without venom I hear
Ardun? She’s universally loved
@@avacadomangobanana2588
*Hated
The puff adder, is that the size after feeding or that's just it Normal size?
Most of the puff adder's body is hidden behind that large bulk of it in the front. It's either coiled around itself or completely scrunched up after having already been bitten by the cobra.
Normal size. See it run
Did the cobra end up eating the addar? It seems like the addar might be a bit too big? Just curious.
MRG1687 thuaj
I doubt that was cobra's first bite; that bite was probably a hurry up and die bite.
My guess is that the puff adder took several bites b4 the video started, he was just about done
Thanks. 😎✌✌
Did u run out of memory on ur device to continue recording
jinxUKBK nope. They just went their seperate directions afterwards

The puff adder seems to have a bellyful. Did it eat some of the cobra's eggs?
What happened after the puff adder was bitten. Did it survive?
Cape Cobra are known to eat Puff adder. Puff adder are short thick snakes so they always look like they have a belly full. After investigation of the video I came to the conclusion that something happened before we got there but I cannot be certain to what exactly. The Puff adder most probably didn’t survive, I still need to find out if Puff adder could be immune to the Neurotoxic venom of the Cape Cobra, so if a expert could help on that please?
@@LiaanPienaar
Actually
Puff adder a.k.a kifutu (in Tanzania)
Can not withstand and survive Cobra's bite!
Coz Cobra is the second most venomous snake after a black mamba
But it most probably kept on decaying there
Coz it seemed to be too fat for cobra to swallow it whole especially at the area between its head and tail
But who knows
Snakes are unpredictable sometimes
If the cobra was greedy, I bet it could die swallowing it!
I think the inland taipan is the most venomous snake in the world.
@@prithivirajlangpoklakpam1281 he is talking with reference to Africa
Must be where Puff Daddy got his name
One of the best cobra vs puffy videos on UA-cam!
But did it died?
I saw both in wild .... the slow one is not slow it's super fast when needed.
0:54 I do the same thing when my dinner is taking longer than usual to get done I take a little bite of it to hold me over until its ready
Puff adder is thinking. I should have taken my parents advice. Always eat all the little cobras growing up in the neighborhood.
Are cape cobras only found in a specific area? I found a nine foot cobra in Hong Kong that did not have the striped markings of a king cobra, and it seemed too long to be a chinese cobra, but it did seem to have a very similar coloration to this snake.
Hi Douglas. Cape Cobra’s are endemic to South Africa so I wouldn’t think that you saw a Cape Cobra in Hong Kong. It could have been someone’s pet that escaped but that would have been a crazy dangerous pet to have! Hope it answers your question. Thanks for the comment
That's it?
I know nothing about snakes so.. would the puff adder go on to live or is the cape cobra more venomous?
Thank you😊
Most probably, the Puff Adder got eaten by the Cobra later... The King Cobra only eats other snakes.
@@hkumar7340 ooooh. And thank you😊
There's a video of the puff adder after the bite, it was sluggish, I feel it would probably die. Not sure if the cape cobra came back for it because the video didn't show.
There are are no King cobras in Africa. They are native to South and Southeast Asia.
Also, I believe either snake is capable of killing the other with a bite. Being more venomous does not grant resistance/immunity. I am unsure if the cape cobra is resistant/immune to venom- I haven't heard of it. King cobras, king snakes, and mussurana do have resistance/immunity- them being ophiophagous (specialized snake-eaters).
@@karllim656 well you sure do sound like you know what your talking about. Thank you😊
@@karllim656 the king cobra can survive a bite from a snake with the same type of venom but it wouldn't survive from like a rattle snake bite not it's a different venom then the cobras. I'm not sure what type of venom the puff has but I think it's a pit viper if so then it's a different venom from the cobra and if the puff would have bitten the cobra the cobra would die from the bite. Since we didnt see the first in counter of these 2 snakes it's possible the cobra was also bitten by the puff and that's the reason there's no video of puff being eaten by the cobra, they both were bitten by each other so they just went off and died....
Where’s the rest of the video?
Hi Marc this is unfortunately the main video I could get, I do have another video of the Puff adder after it was bit on my channel. Thanks for the comment
The Cobra wanted all the smoke from the Puff. No pun intended
What really made the cobra to bite the adder?
Wow! The Cape cobra is very dark!
ua-cam.com/video/DiOBObqtbwk/v-deo.html
I’m suspecting that was the second bite
Es ce que le serpent venimeux peut tuer un invertebrer ?
Is that a puff adder Or a gaboon viper?
Definitely a Puff adder, we don't get Gaboon viper in the karoo in South Africa where this video was taken. Thanks for a good question.
@@LiaanPienaar thank you for the reply, actually the snake was so bulky and the black and white combination made think it's a gaboon. Well I am also an small explorer from India, recently taken UA-cam as a full time. If you get time then please coment my videos if it needs any correction or anything else. I would be grateful for that.
TRIP THE WILD I will have a look and I might add something to try and get you some views😉
@@LiaanPienaar actually I wanted to ask, how much did you have to pay for the advertising?
@@LiaanPienaar omg thank you so much 😊❤
It decided it was too big to eat??? At first, it did maneuver for a headshot but the puff adder keeps moving away.
that adder is not too big in any sense of the phrase, that cobra could have easily eaten it. i supect it was the people being near that caused it not to eat.
Cobra is having puff adder for dinner.
I was visiting Cape Town a few years ago and ended up hiking through the bush in sandals. I wondered whether there were poisonous snakes in the area. When I arrived at the Table Mountain Park I asked the ranger whether there were any poisonous snakes. She told me, " No, no poisonous snakes here". Fortunately, a friend who is a local quickly informed me there were snakes whose bite could kill me in a few minutes. Wish I had seen this video before my visit!!
there are n poisonous snakes there, there are venomous snakes though lol
Welp, there's a minute and a half of my life that I will never get back. Thanks a lot!!
Puff adder, in kiswahili is called "kifutu" cobra is "zwira" are very dangerous snake.
T
Puff adder, in english is called "puff adder" cobra is "cobra" are very dangerous snake.
@@megaruhe6296 lmao
In Chinese, we call soup...
Did the Adder die from that bite?
Most probably as they are not immune to the venom from the Cobra
Coming again and watching...i like it
Thanks for the comment and I'm glad you like the video
which has stronger poison ?
I would say Cobra - neurotoxic
That's a big ass catapiller!!!
snakes terrify me
Víbora de Gabón o jugadora va cobra del cabo?,
So nice video
I wanna give my mother in law a cobra and tell her it's a scarf
lol
Jason Blake Kinda cruel lol 😂
I'm rolling! 🤣😅
O Lord I've heard everything now 😸
Hahaha 🤣😂😂😂😂
Cobra will wait for the poison to set in, then leisurely swallow the Adder.
Well? What happened to the Adder?
WuPiDu
That’s a strange looking cobra! Looks like a giant earth worm.
Please why is it that most snakes wait for Cobras to bit them first. I am yet to see a video of cobras being beaten or killed by other dangerous snakes.
The Puff Adder and most other venomous snakes use envenomationto hunt for food, they rarely use it for defensive purposes. The Puff Adder didn't want to eat the Cobra, however, Cobra's love eating other snakes. The Cobra is so aggressive they are the first to strike, typically the target is trying to get away. Catch a video where two Cobra's are fighting to eat each other. You'll enjoy seeing a Cobra get his ass kicked and eaten by another Cobra.
@@philliplewis3754 still at should've sent it wasn't danger.
what if they bit each other and started eating each other starting from the tail?
Whoever is longer will win, of course...
Duh?! Haha that would be a trip to see!
Kevin Tingzon lmao
Kevin Tingzon but then it would eat it’s own tail and will keep eating itself
technically it would start head first
It would look like Congress.
Is the black snake 🐍 poisonous and why the you whispering
Wow really interesting
I am very surprised to see to venomous snakes, one bite the other & the Puff Adder who received the bite, eventually succumb to it*s death, by the same venom.
Que víbora o serpiente es la otra?
Mi verga pendejo
Puff adder se llama en ingles. No se si la otra es una cobra pero dicen que si
Was one missing it's head?
No
Which one?
Headless Adder?
Haha, you can see the Puff adder with the bite marks in the video of Puff adder after the bite in my videos, thanks for the comment
You can see the venom starting to work on the puff adder, he muscles start to contract.
hes trying to push hes food down..the cobra bit cus of suidden move, it most likely did not use any venom either because hes pray is too big atm! there is no point :)
that wasnt an Adder it was a Rock python
@@Mallrick That is not true . it is a bite to finish . Cobra's are territorial becasue of this they dont let other snakes even if its too large ,who may pose a competition to food especially in such dry land where food is scarce . if you are a cobra you dont want a fatAss snake lying in the middle of the road ,scaring away all your pray
Puff adder looks like mini python
Good video 👍

Did the adder die??
ZS6JMP not sure, it was still alive by the time we left, had two bite marks on him. I would also like to know if puffadders are able to process the neurotoxic venom
ua-cam.com/video/DiOBObqtbwk/v-deo.html
ZS6JMP ya he probably did puffs are not immune to venom

cobras usually constrict and hold the other snake because venom affects cold blooded animals more slowly but in here it just bites and stays at a safe distance; this clearly shows that they are not immune to all snake poisons, and they know it. Such magnificent and great creatures.
cobra got in the painful bite: softened adder up for more venom: takin last twitches from better reptile

Cape Cobra has a neurotoxic and Puff Adder has a cytotoxic and haemotoxic.
And the cameraman has phototoxic
what happen after
The adder should know no sudden movement
The puff adder was messing with the cobra’s wife.
From what I have seen on the Net , Vipers aren’t very good at fighting Elapids .
Did the Puff Adder die after the Cobra bit it.?
I can’t say since I didn’t stay that long, but since I uploaded it and with the help of some people commenting I learned that it most probably did, because most snakes are immune to its own kind of venom, but in this case the Puff adder doesn’t have the same kind of venom so, I think it most probably died a while afterwards

Puff Adder or Gaboon Viper?

Puffadder.
its the same family ;-)
looks like the Puff Adder just had a meal and wants to let it digest ...and... wants to be left alone.
It looks to me like that Puff Adder had already been bitten as Liaan said. If that snake was acting normally it would have gotten defensive when people got close to it. It wasn't even moving well, it looked like how a snake would stagger if a snake could stagger.
@@mikeabbott2396 think you are absolutely right. good observation.
Damn puffs and Gaboon are such disproportionate snakes.
