  • Deadly venomous Rhinoceros viper (Bitis nasicornis) is one of the most beautiful snakes in the world. This big viper species lives in forests of Africa. Rhinoceros vipers (also known as river jack) are well camouflaged in the leaf litter, although it seems that their colorful body must be well visible. This species rarely bites people as it usually lives deep in the tropical forest. It is endangered by habitat loss and collecting for pet trade. Rhinoceros viper and Gaboon viper hybridize and produce gabino. Gabino viper is extremely colorful hybrid and we were lucky to see one in the wild. Watch the video to see these amazing wild venomous snakes in their natural habitat!

    Ambush vipers have some of the most beautifully patterened and coloured scales. Natures beautiful tell tale sign of danger and at the same a way to disappear from the gazing eyes of potential enemies and potential dinner alike. As a little boy I always wanted to see this snake moving on the forest floor and not just look at it's stills in a book or magazine, as a man I can say that little boy never left after seeing this snake. You and staff have created a herpetologist's feast for the eyes with these videos. Good job!

      Pretty yet not as vibrant and rewarding when in a pseudo habitat setting no matter how natural you think you have made them feel.... There is a certain instinct animals including ourselves have that kicks in when in a naturally exposed free ranged and wild world. Their habitat is what instinctively had them become the amazing animals they are as with any living organism niching to survive. Humans can morphologically alter characteristics but nothing compares to evolution.

    Are the Rhino and Gaboon related?
    They seem so similar in some ways, and yet have a couple of differences. The Gaboon has hones as well, but they are tiny compared to the Rhino's horns.
    The colors are different, yet some of the makings and patterns are similar.
    They are both 'ambush predators,' where they just pick a spot, sit and wait for lunch to come to them.
    They both seem to dwell in similar surroundings, 'on the ground, in the undergrowth, and dead leaves.'
    They are almost invisible, if you don't know they're there already!
    The Gaboon wins the prize for the longest fangs, but I wonder if the Rhino's aren't a very close second?
    They both 'march step,' over the ground, which I think is sorta funny to watch. "Your left, right , left!"
    Are the venoms of both snakes similar?
    What is "Viviparous?"
    WOW! A Hybrid of the two!? 'Gabinos...' I didn't know they were mating!? So I guess, the Gaboons find the long horns of the Rhinos to be "pleasing," to look upon! "Love is in the air!"
    That Gabino you show here was just beautiful! What colors!

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  3 роки тому

      Yes, Gaboon vipers and Rhinoceros vipers are related, these species are not far away from each other in the evolutionary tree. That is why they can still hybridize, they did not evolve so much apart yet. They have similar venoms, similar ecology. Gaboon viper is more generalist, Rhino vipers like only primary forests. Viviparous means giving birth to offspring, not laying eggs, that is oviparous. Thank you for watching!

      This is Bitis rhinoc. not a gabino. There is a Gaboon viper, very similar species minus some of the yellow and purple, and just a bit of different design on the back, doesent have the "butterfly" shape but the rectangles.
      There are hybrids done in the captivity between Gaboon and Rhino viper, and they are called "Gabino" as you called it.
      But this aint a natural species, its a hybridn done in captivity, same as ligers, mules, etc

      All sspecimens I saw wer4e NOT EVEN CLOSE in beauty to this specimen. There are quite a few on UA-cam videos, but it seems that somehow Gaboon genes are more dominant and it shows more in those hybrids.

    That caterpillar locomotion is strange to see in a snake! Wonderful footage of the habitat. What a surprise to see the Gabino! Absolutely beautiful viper. I have been concerned that the species might breed the Gaboon or Rhino out of existence. I have read somewhere that there is no evidence yet that this will happen anytime soon as the species in large part is a result of the evolution processes. Hopefully all three will thrive! Great job with the camera!!!

    • @LivingZoology

    What fabulous work, guys. Beautiful animals, these are. Are the ‘horns’ on the Gambino stunted in length, compared to its parent Rhinoceros? They appear to be. So beautiful! I really hate the pet trade. These animals are not “pets,” they’re ‘anti pets’ if anything. People think they’re loved by their snakes. Insane. That just gets my dander up. People who say they “love” these animals yet take them from their habitats and keep them in cages and boxes, like so many accessories. Maddening. What a terrible and sad, mean thing to do to something that those kind of people claim they “love.” It’s anything but love. Sorry; I get pretty soapbox about that. Beautiful animals, and I’m glad you found a few. Beautiful filming and use of the natural background, as always. Carry on! 🐍

    • @LivingZoology
      @LivingZoology  3 роки тому

      Thank you so much for watching and thank you for a positive review of our work! Gabino is a hybrid so each gabino has a unique combination of genes from both parental species. We agree that many people just want to have a colorful snake at home, some want to keep venomous snakes because it is thrilling, etc. On the other hand, there are keepers who really have a professional care about their animals and breed them. The important last thing is missing - reintroduction programs which will allow these keepers to do a good thing and bring snakes back to their habitat. It is sad that only export exists and snakes are becoming rare.

    • @LivingZoology

      We are very sorry about this. In UA-cam Studio you get some ads which are automatically placed and then others, which you can place by yourself. The system tells you that those which are not placed automatically will not be shown to many viewers (not sure what are the factors affecting it except country of the viewer and viewing history, etc.). We very rarely get comments like this and it looks like it is very rare that UA-cam shows all ads. UA-cam is a full-time job for one of us and we are trying to continue doing this job in educating people about reptiles and amphibians. We need to add ads, but of course we don't want to ruin the experience for viewers. Unfortunately, we don't have any sponsors and we have to fund our filming expenses. Bringing new topics, new species and traveling around the world is expensive.
