    Awesome stuff! I've only ever seen two Adders, and I spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs, so they are pretty elusive. Funniest snake encounter was down the local nature reserve, again with the dogs. Up ahead I saw a long, dark snake, and thought WTF? is that? Got the dogs to sit, approached,.... and it was dead. Took some pics, and asked around, and it turns out female grass snakes can turn dark with age, which explained the size and colour, but I have to admit, I was cacking myself approaching it.

    I remember going to a golf course in Scotland once that had warnings on one of the holes for adders. There's like this huge bushy ditch you have to hit the ball over, and it's highly recommended you don't go looking for your ball if you miss. I ignored them thinking there wouldn't be any, I was wrong and nearly crapped myself when I ran into one lol. The only time I've ever seen a snake in the wild and people still don't believe me when I tell them they are here!

    I’m so envious. Here in NZ we have no snakes at all (not even in zoos). The most dangerous animal we have is the endangered native spider the Katipo which is very rare now. However their cousin the Redback spider has established itself in parts of NZ, I have hunted them , photographed them and actually been bitten about 3 times ( luckily, no serious symptoms - just a bad local burning sensation). BTW, I like your Allblack jersey 😎

Didn’t know they might be going extinct that shocked and surprised me...

    Yo Cookie 🍪, greetings from Edinburgh. I'm a cryptozoology enthusiast and a fan of your channel.
    I can't believe you've given up on the Tiger 😔
    How much do you know about the possibility of living Thylacines in the highlands of West Papua and Papua New Guinea?
    I can link you to some interesting reports and research. Most of these areas are unexplored and locals, including tribes recognize Thylacines, via photographs as a seldom seen night dwelling Carnivore called a Dobsenga, with pouched young and stripes. It's as likely Tigers survived in PNG like they did in Tasmania.
    Anyway, once my Cryptocurrency Investments send me to Mars I will definitely grab a subscription to your content ❤️💪
    Also in regards to a small dog sized animal evading humans can only be disproved by Learning about animals like the Saola, not only is Vietnam smaller than your average Australian state, this animal which I'm sure your aware of is the size of cow. I lived in Australia and travelled it extensively, it's vastness is inconceivable.
