SAVING KING COBRAS IN BALI! (An Original Short Film)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 20 янв 2023
- The king cobra is the most revered and feared snake in Bali, Indonesia and for good reason. There is no antivenom on the island and one bite from these cobras could kill 20 people! In this video I head out with the Bali Reptile Rescue and @WickensWickedReptiles to help save these reptiles from the people who may kill them on sight. This is a Reptile Adventure you don't want to miss!

I love these documentary style films you do your work and passion u put into your films are truly amazing plus the chemistry you and Adam have working together makes all the more greater. Hope to meet u all at animal con this year
Thank you! I’ll be there!
Hey. Punctuation exists for a reason. Use it.
The growls she let loose made the hair on my arms stand up! Such beautiful animals! I love your movie formats! Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Thank God for these people caring for these snakes.
You can totally see the track from the King Cobra leading away from its nest. I've never seen anything like it. Truly amazing.
Yes, king cobras usually leave a distinctive track in the forest leaf litter. uh-huh.
Extremely dope video! They’re so fast. The way that girl turned around on Adam was super freakin quick. I had to go change my underwear on that one 🤣🤣🤣
Lol! That was a bit hair raising for sure
That momma king is absolutely gorgeous!! Thank you so much for this one Dav. This trip is on my bucket list for sure
You bet!
What an awesome show! Love watching Dav and Adam herping together, always guaranteed a laugh 🤣🤣
So good seeing people helping the king cobras by relocating them.
FYI Dav; when Jack Fruit is off the tree it’s known as “Jack Fruit in space” (as it falls), and then “Jack Fruit on the ground.” Then as it decomposes it’s called “Jack fruit that’s gone off” all are very technical names.
@@davidvento5481 I think that Dāv was hoping that someone would come up with the term, "Jack-off-the-tree" fruit. ha ha.
@@Steevee14
Ya think? 😂
I just can’t tell you how close to my screen these type of episodes have me.. 😵💫 🫵🏼 you both rock. @WWR
Thank you!
Came for the snakes, stayed coz of Dāv. Best short films ever.
Thank you!
And again another award worthy video from one of the best youtube reptile experts ever
Thank you!
She has to feel better after having the 15 worms removed. Glad there are people willing to relocate the cobras to safer places. Loved the bridge scene 😆 I'd do that to my younger sister!
Lol! I’m surprised he set foot on that
@
I’m not (”Canadians,” you know...) 😂
_j/k_
Cobras are so amazing and beautiful. I hope you and Adam had an awesome trip Bali
We did and can’t wait to go back!
Man that's fantastic what a epic journey to be able to save cobra's like that they are beautiful and people think they are out to kill you in reality they just want to get away.
Thanks! This is my favorite project you've done Dav! Thanks for all you do!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Me and my step son sat down and watched this together really enjoyed it Dav killed again my guy keep on keeping on, my kids love your videos we love watching the Rattle on awards thanks again for it all Dav!!!!!!!!!
Love hearing that! Rattle On!
That was amazing! I’m so jealous that you can do all that. I went to Antigua many years ago and actually held a wild Antiguan racer, I was nearly in tears because at the time they were critically endangered. Keep up the amazing work!
That would have been so cool!
@ wow thanks for replying and I do think I need to put some context on this. I didn’t just go and pick up a random snake! There were conservationists on Bird Island and someone shouted does anyone want to see a snake? I ran over to them and they were saying about how endangered the snake was, I (of course) asked if I could hold her. I did get some strange looks but when I said I had kingsnakes at home they handed her to me. She was gorgeous, I was so in my element and didn’t want give her back!
What a fantastic film that was, thank you so much for teaching me so much more about the majestic King Cobra!
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s the bits of trivia and humorous inferences that make Dav’s channel so great. No other herpticulture RUclipsr has mentioned that the cobra utilizes the heat generated by the decomposing vegetation in it’s nest to help incubate it’s eggs. Fun fact; decomposing organic matter can also cause an eerie bio-luminescent “cold” light when ambient air temp and other external conditions are right. I’ve seen this strange phosphorescence (known as “Will o’ The Wisp”) while on herping expeditions in NJ’s Pine Barrens. Btw; that area is a treasure-trove for herpers and naturalists alike! Also, the large-leafed foliage Dav chooses to accessorize with is in the family of “Elephant Ears.” The name has in no way influenced Dav’s choice of this plant for said garment... lol
_”Embrace your strange and rattle on” words to live by._
Elephant ears? That’s what I’m talking about! Thanks for the awesome comment!
@ An awesome comment for an awesome dude👍🏻
What a beautiful cobra! LOVE the new film style. Keep it up!
I’m glad I’m not the only one who talks sh*t to Siri 😂
I love how the universal snake bag is a pillowcase. There’s something wholesome about using something so simple as the thing a kid might use as a laundry bag or trick or treating.
They are so majestic they really are kings.
Agreed!
That was AWESOME!! Such a great adventure and really educational. I just loved every minute of it. It's wonderful the rescue people are dedicated to saving those beautiful animals. How interesting that those snakes are so involved in protecting their young.Thank you for making this great video.
What an exciting adventure.
I had to stop……”and other thesaurus terms”. Lmao! 🤣😂 That was great! Ok, I’ll finish watching this AMAZING film now.
OMS, Dāv!! She is beautiful!!! I teared up just seeing her. What a majestic, gorgeous queen-King!!🐍❤️🐍
I had to come back at the end……I wish the Cobra’s knew what you were doing. Knew you were helping them. This was fantastic Dāv!! Thank you!!
Lol
Hi Dav What an advernture. How awesome to see your first wild cobra on a nest of eggs. 31 eggs. To catch her, and relocate her to a safe place. And Bali Cobra rescue will incubate her eggs. And release them. Then another female, to take worms out of her mouth, and set her free. A rat snake, and a spitting cobra. You and Adam will never forget your trip to Bali. ❤🐍Cindy
That place is absolutely beautiful. You did an awesome job on this Dāv. Your videos deserve much more views, and I will help and tell everyone.. because what you do and how you do it is, well, amazing! Thank you.....o, so what was the punishment, you shaving your hair¿ lol, no, Don't do that. You and Adam are perfect together for traveling and I love your humor. Thx
Super cool. Been looking forward to this video.

Thank you!
up level movie documentary. You guys are so passionate and motivated by what you live and you communicate trough the film so much of this amazing wildlife. Nature is fantastic and earth is only one. Beside that, Shout out to the Balinese rescuer team to make this incredible job and to be so respectfull of the wildlife.
Thank you!
This video was amazing! To be able to see them in the wild is pretty cool,but,to see a nest with eggs,was epic! Super jealous. Lol
Very epic!
Such gorgeous animals! Must have been magnificent to see them in the wild
Epic short film... watching time very well spent!! 👍🏻😁🇨🇦
I would love to see Chandler on one of these documentaries with you Dāv
I keep telling him to get on a plane with me
Hands down the best filmmaker on you tube! Thank you for these amazing films!!!!!!

I jumped like 16 times watching this video!! 😅
The mama cobra was so beautiful!
Love this style and amazing work! I love the kings! They are the largest venomous snake in the world and the smartest, who wouldn’t live that??!? You should make another YT channel called “rattle tv”
Adam= Frodo
Dāv= Gandalf the brown beard
Yes they are!
💯 😂
I love King Cobra’s and I always think of the females as Queens , majestic and oh SO intelligent snakes … wonderful , thank you 😊
Last time we were in Bali we were on the river and one swam across the river and also the dingy we were in, that was exhilarating. Those rescue guys do a great job. Dav an Adam thank you for traveling, knowledge and filming all your adventures, luv your work both of you.
Amazing!
Thanks!
Just discovered this wonderful channel dav is the Steve Irwin of the modern day. I can see young kids watching these videos as I did Steve when I was younger
Thank you so much!
Alligators and crocs also build a nest like this for the same reason…to keep the eggs nice and warm. What am amazing experience!
I think I let out a squeak at the same time as Adam when that spitting cobra turned 😂
That king cobra that was sitting on eggs has the most beautiful head ❤
Just started the video but already loving it with the oriental rat snake and the spitter!!!! Awesome video quality!!
Awesome! Thank you!
@just finished the video, can't believe you caught 2 different kings and found all those eggs!!! That is stunning
OMG! That poor cobra in the beginning was in shed!! How scary for poor baby! ❤️ your stuff-thanks Dave!
Glad to hear that!
Once again, Dav you've done an amazing job with this video. Kinda jelly not gonna lie
Thanks!
I'm only 7 minuets in and have laughed 2 times already. Great documentary guys.
Good to hear!
I wasnt keen on watching this video at the start because I watched other videos about it and I thought it would be just a rehash of the same info. I really enjoyed your take and the video wqs excellent. Your presented the info in a very different way
PHEW! That ruptured egg looked freakin nasty lol
I didn't know, thank you!
#RattleOn
I love the Patyis rat snakes they get huge.
Me too!
36:01 I guess you could say the cobra was…. Bamboozled
I bet the rush was amazing when you held the king
Like nothing else I’ve ever done! One of the best days of my life!
Oh, man, that is beautiful! ...looking at one centimeter of a snake nose lol
Dav, you are in Bali .. you know I was born in Jakarta … I miss Bali , but the king cobra 🫣. Have fun and be safe always 🙏🏻. Nicki
Thanks!
Please come to black house Panji Petualang in Indonesia, he is a president of reptile Indonesia... There you can find a King Cobra coservation, and a lot of reptile. He is amazing...
Great video. Which camera do you use? Greetings from Germany.
Smells like Dav 😂
Again Dav out of the park,and was in Bali for 3 weeks when I was in the service
Thanks!
I like your videos. I would really like to see you do a video about pumpkin toadlets.They are said to be recently discovered. They are very small and bright orange. They are very clumsy. I think that they are cool looking little things and I know that people would like to breed them.
Can u do a follow up on how many eggs hatch please! Awesome vid!
I tried to add it to this film but they never sent me the video
@ gotcha!
I have waterproof steel toe boots I bought just for herping and looking for rattlesnakes in Oklahoma lol they're a little heavy but definitely would give some protection just in case 😊
Hi Dav What an exciting video. Your first wild cobra, and on a nest of eggs. Thanks for b r in hi l
saving her and her eggs. That other poor cobra had 15 worms removed. The snake must feel better now. Bali looks so beautiful. ❤🐍Cindy
Thank you Cindy!
This is animal documentray on another level. You guys did a really good job on this one 🤘
PS: Speaking of Cobras, did you know that there's a type of Cobra in the Philippines that locals have known to do vocalizations in akin to geckos or even rooster calls?
My grandmother used to tell me stories about how when rice fields were more dominant, they could hear a certain type of call every morning, and they believe it was a cobra.
I mentioned this story to an ex-marine and he confirmed it to be a type of cobra.
Interesting, or what?
King cobras have modified glottis structures to allow them to growl, but no other snake makes anything like the squeaking or barking noises that geckos make. What they were hearing is far more likely to actually be a gecko, or a frog, the latter extremely likely if it was common when rice paddies were around. And as much as they might learn about human culture or geography, I would not take ecological advice from a marine unless they were specifically the designated researcher for a unit.
Thank you! I did know that. Cool huh?
@Carlton Carnivores Well, we know it wasn't a specific gecko or frog because we know the common native species. For the more exotic ones, you'd have to go deep into the mountains.
The ex-(Philippine)Marine holds weight because they regularly patrolled the entire area, jungles, and mountain ranges. They know which animals to look out for, which ones they can eat, etc. Same with plants.
@@MaliciousMollusc could be anything down to insects sounds , unless one witness it live that a cobra squeak or bark , i call it a tall tale, which species is in your area ? a samar ?
The funny thing is how easy it is for even the people to live in a place to overlook some very, very common animals, and how easy it is for what people think are remote, isolated species to suddenly show up in a foothill village etc.
And what I said about the Marines holds; jack of all trades they must be, but full encyclopedic knowledge of an area's flora and fauna is rare. Plus, fact of: there are no records in scientific observations to back up the claim of a barking or squeaking or otherwise calling cobra, and as many expeditions have been mounted particularly recently to record the wildlife there, if it were something commonly heard at any time in the past we would have an article about it. Until someone can offer that...the growling of a king cobra is about it for snake vocals outside of hissing, especially since they don't have vocal cords.
I work hard to accept that these magnificent animals must be disturbed and relocated, but, oh, how it hurts my heart.
Right?
Yes, it's certainly hard to accept that relocating the cobra on its nest/eggs was necessary, since it had already lived in that area, apparently without incident, for its entire life.
