Terrifying: The Venomous Sidewinder Snake Slithers at 18 MPH
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 фев 2015
- Reaching speeds up to 18 MPH, the Peringuey’s Adder, or sidewinder snake, slithers rapidly along the desert dunes at intimidating speeds. Sidewinding is the fastest way to get around and reduces contact with the burning sand. But, the way this venomous snake buries itself in the sand, and waits to attack its prey, is even scarier.

"He stops to pick up a bug, conveniently located directly in front of the snake."
I was thinking the same thing.
Where's General Ankbar where you need him...? We'll never know what's a trap anymore...
i was just saying that lol
my guy it's Admiral Ackbar
To be fair, I'm pretty sure nature filming goes through hours of boring nothing happening just to find a few seconds of something like that.
Snek: *avoid touching hot sand*
Also snek: *PUT ENTIRE BODY IN THE SAND*
You ever played beachvolleyball and drilled your feet into the hot sand? It's cold underneath.
*Snake

0:23 actual footage of me going from the fridge back to my room.
Why did that make me laugh externally, it's so simple a joke.
Thank you though.
What if his room is on upstairs?
Good one my man. My fridge is near my room, but I don't go into it in the night. Lol...

Hey thank you Akhil, that was really funny! 😁

*A giant snake emerges*
02:20 The snake waited to let the lizard finish its bug meal though, very polite.
It's a little extra protein for the snake too.
No you can see the bug fall on the ground :(

SegoMan yeah it’s like when u get out of your pool and the ground is hot as hell so u run as fast as you can to the shade lol
So when you walk on sands like this, you might actually risk stepping on one of those hiding snakes ???
You don’t want to get bit by a Pit Viper
StayReal02
Oh yeah, the threat is real indeed.
Nah its not a big deal. Just focus and if there is something (which is rare) you will notice. And by the way. In the winter snakes sleep. So every one is safe
I guess that's why cowboys wore boots and not sandals.
@@hermask815 Also they wore boots cause they didn't want them feets to die while they where riding horses. I wore tennis shoes while riding a horse one time. Big mistake
"Doesn't want to touch the hot sand"
...
"The snake retreats in the cool sand"
Vini the sand on top is hot because of the sun, the sand below is cold since it’s not exposed to the sun.
Sand top is hot beneath is cooler.
Its weird how people dont understand this basic fact.
TheDarkestNight
Im sure he was just joking around
@@bukucinho the joke was flawed though
So, the snake didn't save 15% or more on his car insurance?
+TruthSurge lol

+FalconPlayz no idea who that is.
Hahaha, tip my hat.. well done..
Well he would have, if he had switched over to Geckos.
(But that wise ole snake knows better than to sign with gov businesses.. 'G.ov E.mployees I.nsurance Co.mpany')..
Can be faster than a human and a bike... God plz nerf to 5mph or give humans a buff
It can't sustain that speed though. We can sustain a pretty damn fast speed for long periods of time.
Yeah, but they're still balanced. Humans have limbs and usable thumbs.
Or just grow some balls? Pfft...come on, snakes are still more prey than predator on the whole, and they're smart enough to look at you, a giant creature to them, and know "hey, I can't eat that. Too fuckin' big for me." and sod off before you notice or bumble into it.
It's just a joke y'all
haha smite
*he protecc*
*he atacc*
But most importantly
*he hides so he can get a snacc*
Forget polar. This is still funny 😂

Carlos Mojarro spelling it wrong is the point of the meme r/woosh
Carlos Mojarro no. Bad.
I dont know what to do with this information but I'm glad I have it
Not all information can be used for ones greed
Lesson: Everything comes with a price
Well its wrong info-no sidewinder goes 18 mph they are crazy.
Work Smart to yield better results than working hard.
Slithering instructions unclear; broke my legs
I understood the slithering instructions. It's like this, the snake uses half its body to pull forward and as it pulls forward the body raise off the ground and lands on the other half of the body pushes forward lands on the other half of the body, pulls forward lands on other half of the body and it's a cycle.
yeah i don't think you got the joke
haha

This snake is about 25 centimeters also snakes are more afraid of you that you are of them

Side jumping.
Snake shaking never ceases to amaze me! one of the best videos of natural hunting I have ever seen!
On a cloudy day at White Sands national park I laid down on a sandhill to take a nap. When I woke up there was a trail of a sidewinder rattlesnake below my feet. It was scary to think how close it came to me while I slept.
Yeah, the good thing is that they aren't really into hanging with people (like most wild animals)
@@meowwaffles6040 I'm glad it was warm enough the snake didn't want to cuddle.
@@omnipotentdwarf571 Haha yeah
* lay down
@@robertveith6383 I stand corrected.
Lizard: ahh, this is the life ain’t it? I’m catching bugs and being free.
Snake: “haha 😂 not a chance bro.”

HERE COME DAT BOI!
Krim Gassen O SHIT WHADDUP
Ravis Amissi I said the same
Fun fact about that, that's how they keep their heat down. Same way the snake sidewinds to avoid touching the sand too much.
That snake plays to much Slither.io
Lol.
lel.
😂😂
Soldier:76 Best DPS yout name is true
It is slitherio though
What amazing animals snakes are. Each snake has it's own set of skills, venom and ways to kill anyone without quilt. If I saw a snake moving that fast towards me, I would freak out so much that I would become an Olympic runner.
I stopped worrying after reading they were more afraid of us than we were of them 😄
don't worry, that snake will outrun you when there's a honey badger hot on its trail.
@@junofranco6638 a honey badger is really agresive it woud atack you and they dont live in the same region
I lived in the high desert, Mojave area,
I got chased by two them , I was walking home from the bus stop, had to drop books and run and fast I could, My German Shepard saved me from them, yes they are fasssst🤯🤯🤯
It should be noted that one of the Rattlesnakes in northwestern Mexico and the Southwestern USA is the Horned Rattlesnake also known as a Sidewinder. It also has a top speed of around 18 mph and is a bigger snake than this Adder.
The four venomous snakes in the USA, Copperhead, Cottonmouth, Rattlesnake, Coral snake.
Diversity limitless, think to feel it's mind out in person, is easy for generational educateds and roadies but there must be more intentional sharing of information that cures shut ins.
Thanks TheRoafer!
2:20 when i see somebody eating my food out the fridge
XD
How the fuck do they film this
yeah i wonder that sometimes two
i am not surprised when a bug is conveniently right on top of the snake waiting for the lizard to eat.
You'd be suprised how long it takes to film a certain thing in the wild, could be months in someplace before getting anything at all
George Smith
I have the same question?
yeah, maybe they do use a filming studio for some of it, where they can use a couple animals in captivity, because this would be hard as hell to catch in the wild. Still good stuff, nothing wrong with doing that.
Thats lizard said
HELL NAW IM OUT
But he couldn't
@1:16 BRUH SAID "AND I- OOOP"
That snake could have save 15% on car insurance!
I know angles are everything but damn that snake can hide. I had to watch this twice to try and see him. I'm sure from above you can see the eyes but still. no traces of the body. nuts.
Marco Antonio Solis
I couldn't see his nuts either
Frequently, I’m deathly afraid of venomous snakes. But this is really cool.
This is one of those videos I randomly watch every year and never think of
Damn nature you scary!
DimeDag Barrel what?
That thing come by my house I kill it.
The sidewinder does not slither 18 mph the fastest snake is the black mamba up to 10-12 mph
Well. Doy!!! Of. Course, nature. Is. Scary. What. Do. You. Expect?!

This video only reminds me that I wouldn't last 15 minutes stranded in the desert.
Rangga Sobiran it is not that bad. I spent 3 years in scorching desert crawling with death adders. Just wear high boots lol 😂
+Ismail Mohamed
How did spend 3 years in the desert exactly ?
TheVEEbR When I was 12 , my family moved to the country side to escape the Somali civil war and we spent about 3 years in vast grass lands/deserts area where it was common to see this type of snake, black mamba and all sorts of slithery creeps. I have seen people bit by scorpions and snakes . It it is rare. The snakes usually run away at the sight of human.

Lizard Licks Snake "Hello? Hello? HELLO? HEL-" Snake "CAN U NOT?"
The snake coming out of the sand is like Jason coming out of the water.
if it moves this fast on shifting sand imagine having it on solid ground
The weird diagonal movement makes them look like they're trying some sort of speedrun strat.
Imagine stepping into those hiding snakes
"Can't you feel the poison rising out of the morning and clear through the night" -
There's just something so creepy about how sidewinders...well...sidewind lol. I don't find any other snakes movements creepy but how the sidewinders move just creeps me out
True
How they get this on camera is what I'm concerned about
+REDDOT. MElaser____ ____ go 2 a desert and find one
+REDDOT. MElaser____ ____ Patience, u know something u dont have?
+Profile Pic not really because they found it so perfectly timed
REDDOT. MElaser____ ____ perfectly timed? nothing was perfectly timed, they just started recording when they saw one.. either that or they released him.
Live Fast Skate Faster no, it's called patience bro. These guys spend days, weeks trying to capture the perfect shot.
It just looks so freaking cool when he moves
“Dammit, got a bit of sand in my meal”
"[Sidewinding] reduces the body's contact with the HOT sand"
"He retreats into the COOL sand to digest"
Which is it?
the sand under the top layer is cold
theres cool sand then theres hot sand dumbfuck
Apparently you're not the only idiot questioning that
Have you ever dug your hand deep into the sand at the beach as a child?
Time of day
When u see a snake on steroids acting like it’s had a seizure
😶
Burying yourself in sand to ambush prey is a smart strategy
even a spider can do it
Happens a lot with sea creatures on the ocean floor as well
Do you have to watch out for sidewinders if you're hiking through sand dunes? Can you even see them if they're buried in the sand? I want to go to somewhere like Kelso Dunes but that kind of scares me.
I saw what I’m pretty sure was a sidewinder recently on my way back down from Kelso Dunes, not in the dune itself but on the level ground with vegetation near the road. I would always wear decent boots and trousers regardless of the heat (never shorts) try not to step on any snakes and don’t do what I did which was stay on the dune after the sun had set. It was tight getting back to the road before almost total darkness.
1:53 that was epic, srsly!!
Amazing Videography!!! @_@ especially at 2:22
I've never seen a video footage like that. Absolutely amazing.
He got that "My parents aren't home" message
The lizard: freeeze freeze be calm be calm
The lizard a second later: brum brum in my brand new lambo
That's a perfect representation of "there's always a bigger fish"

Straight through the heart of the venomous bite
Awesome this video is going to help me with my little project about Sidewinder snakes 👍🏼💖👧🏻 For my homeschool 😉

2:47 the way the snake returns into the sand is super funny, looks like me hiding in a blanket
Speed noodle
Does anyone else think that slithering snakes are satisfying to watch, and watching the snake bury itself too
I've always been fearful of them but at the same time fascinated I would never want to run into one and I avoid visiting places where they are
Lizard:" going to get some bugs" Snake:" look at that fucker" *lizard eats bug* Snake:"WHAT THE FUCK IS HE DOING NOW. THAT WAS MY BUG!!!!" Snake:"FUS-RU-DAH!!!!!!"
I put too much effort into this comment

Snek learns how to slither sideways, revolutionary
Equivalent to side jumping in ocarina of time.

Right . . and one of the "science" channels reported monitor lizards run 22mph . . but again it turns out to be around 12mph.
Wtf is a snake , a lizard and a Bug doing in scorching sand, that too with a perfect setup.
@JuicyWatermelone yes they might but how did evolution take them there
How did he know where to put his trap tho
He chose a shady spot where lizards were likely to go.
BugPope haha sounds like a truck stop
He is in an area with lots of
l i z a r d a c t i v i t y
So they say the way it moves is also designed to limit contact with the "scorched earth" then it buries itself in the sand to hunt. Then they say the sand is cool. I dont think 1/4 inch of sand is enough to dissipate the heat. Doesn't make sense to me. I have a feeling the temp of the sand doesn't bother the snake.
Lizard:hmm no snake here good i can go hunting in peace
Sidewinder:ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT
LOL
this scene is very heart touching
So basically It's like bunny hopping in CSS?
+garrett griggs love the profile pic
Ethan Wong Thanks man!

Buttered__ Toast_ snakes dont chase people they are afraid and go the opposite direction
Well I just calculated
18mph = 8.04672 meters per second
8.04672 X 3.6 = 28,968192 km/h
So you don't have to calculate ;)
Edit*: that's one fast boi
Ok
