I am an Indian. I love the natural beauty of Africa. So I watch these videos. I love everyone. Thanks
Thank you very much for watching our videos! We are happy that you like our channel! And India is amazing country, we want to come back!
India nature is also wonderful and if the English didn't when there it would have been even better, my friend's father was a West Indies selector and he always have stories about India
We are indeed blessed in our biodiversity
Great performance by the 1 snake actor in the documentary..showed up pretty well for the camera.
There are 3 individuals in the video. But the biggest one was the most calm, that is true.
I love my country Uganda.
@@michealmicho1150 It is beautiful!!!
Uses stuntsnake.
Thank you!
Absolutely incredible documentary. Thanks
No bloody music no commentary pure content. Never seen anything like this
Thank you for watching! Super happy that you like this video! Check out other videos on our channel :)
Yes, absolutely.
All their stuff is like that. Best in Class! :)
Imagine wanting a nap and you hear all of these.
Normal thing on this island! :D
Not only the noise but you find a snake sleeping beside you
You take a nap, and the sounds of the birds are music to the ears.
My initial thoughts!!!
Hearing those birds on a daily would make me go bonkers geez..
These people got used to it, but for us spending 24 hours there it was loud!
What about the stench?!
@@thenotsojollyrancher-akate9516 It is strong! :D Birds poo and fish.
What about traffic noise,clubs etc which is toxic
@@dogtraining254 It is true that we prefer bird noise from the noise of traffic!
You should have change the title. “Largest bird sanctuary”😅
Hissing birds!!
🤣🤣
U r right bro .I was just thinking about that. It should be bird island instead of snake Island.
Beautiful example of co-existence.

“This island is a hidden gem”
-Venomous snakes
-annoying birds
-minimal, if any, electricity
Yeeaaa...I’ll pass 👌🏽
It is certainly not a place for everyone! But to us it seemed very special.
Nature Can be seen as a gem, the rest... 🙈
No women I’ll definitely pass
These men have figured it out. The only Man Cave where their wives won't come to turn off their TVs. haha
What's so amazing about an Island full of venomous 🐍 a snake is a 🐍
Did RUclips also recommended this to you?
We guess that it is recommended to people who are interested in snakes.
yes 😁
I sorta searched it
@@LivingZoology lol.. it recommended to me while watching random military news
@@clinton_pups That is interesting!
I thought it was snake island and not bird island.
Ppl
Bird island and snake island is in Brazil 🐍 🦅
@@Arqade_GamingOfficial yes
We call it snake island dear
Yeah, maybe it should be called dumb ass comment on RUclips island.
That was incredible! I had no idea this place even existed! It's really nice to see people getting along with venomous snakes and nothing negative coming of it. It's such a rare thing to happen.
Yes, it is very rare, especially in Africa! The only place in this continent we know where people respect snakes. Thank you for watching!
It's in Uganda come and enjoy the Pearl of Africa
@Ted Bundy Hopefully history wont repeat itself here and they will be left alone.
Fingers crossed... but doubtful.
My native village in South India also has a large number of snakes, the majority of them are cobras. We have a temple of the snake God and it is considered a great sin to kill a snake. One is sure to come across a cobra or two, especially in the fields.
Yet, we have no record of any case of snake bite in living memory.
Vidyasagar bullshit
Narrator: *People live in harmony with Nature.
*Conditions apply: As long as women are not part of this arrangement.
In this island it works like this, yes.
@GEOTUS ReX Yes, we understand, and a good one :D The fact that women cannot live there is interesting and it has a potential for jokes :D
@@LivingZoology can't women really live here??☺
Lol this is gold
"No recorded fatal snake bites." Yea, until I went there.
Who knows, we were there and it was fine.
I don't think I could sleep at night knowing there's a lot of Cobra crawling at night lol!! SCARY!! 🤯😰😳
@Hauger Relax
They go for fishing at night
Definitely you'll someone to guard watch and then take turns
Didn't you see it's only ONE Cobra crawling around there!? 😆
Why
Best kept secret. I’m definitely going there for my honey moon. Who can resist a small island full of venomous cobra snakes and 200,000 birds crapping and making annoying loud noises 24/7. I mean, that’s a keeper!!!!👏👏
😅😅😅😅😅😅
😂🤣😆
So would u go there alone on honeymoon as the women are not allowed on the island, specially sex is not allowed there😂😂😂
@@AhmadKhan-hl5zg Probably not the best place for a honeymoon!
@@LivingZoology agreed bruh💯
They respected them so the cobra almost lost their defensive behavior. 🔥
Yes, it was very cool to see!
Almost
Living Zoology i liked this line very much 🙏🏻👌
Step on it and see how defensive it is
Yes, the kiss of death.
Fascinating! It is a perfect balance. ‘Respect’ takes on a proper meaning. It’s almost as though some of the snakes seemingly disregard the fishermen; they’re not food, so just keep an eye for surprises, yes? No reports of bites - no surprises. So, where do the fishermen sleep to keep away from the spirits as they hunt, because some rodents must be around inside the huts? Or this doesn’t happen, maybe. Thank you for your nice video, the gray headed species is pretty with such distinct markings. Feathers are fascinating, same as scale patterns are. I know you guys really enjoyed this foray!
We were fascinated by this place. Cobras behaved like pets, no reaction to people. People sleep there on the ground, in the huts! We saw a cobra crawling a meter from a sleeping man. Thanks for watching! Great that you appreciate also the bird footage, we wanted to show a complex view of this island.
Between the hundreds of thousands of gulls, trash and fish just chilling, that place must reek.
I really love this beautiful video and story of a place I had never heard of. So sorry for all of the negative comments. I appreciate nature and understand how difficult it is to capture this place. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!!! We start to be used to people who always try to find something negative and they even accuse us of cheating and so on. We just want to show them the beauty of nature, we try to show them how important are venomous snakes and that it is not right to kill them. People like you give us a lot of positive energy!!!
@@LivingZoology awesome vedio....
@@robnavy3695 Thank you!
Great video! Respect nature and every form of life on planet!
Well said! Thank you for watching! :)
I love this island.... All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small... there is love for nature here.
The Good God made them all...
I adore cobras... 😍😍😍🥰🥰🥰
We agree! Cobras are awesome!!! 😍
Beautiful snakes! Really an interesting island!
Thank you!!! It is a very special place, we have never seen anything like that. And the cobras were super calm!
Poisonous snake crawls up to him.
Man calmly walks away.
Boss mode level 10
Yes, we agree!
there is no such thing as poisonous snakes... ;)
@@hennessyfaust You are right, the correct term is venomous. But poisonous is so widely used that we are not correcting people anymore.
Bring a manchete. Chop Chop. Head Off. See how dangerous that snake is.
Or bring a gun. Bang Bang. Don't bring a snake to a gun fight.
I knew about the snake island off the coast of Brazil that’s filled with golden lancehead vipers but I didn’t know about this one, this is cool!
There are more snake islands around the world and the others are hidden gems! Of course we would like to film the one close to Brazil in the future, but it is not easy to get there. This year we filmed another snake island, check it out! ruclips.net/video/Prg09TSALSs/видео.html
Africa has everything.
This is in Uganda
🇮🇪 Glad we don't have snakes on our island. 😊
Am very excited to watch my home on u tube I was almost raised on this island by my father . Thanks to the videographer, and Mr Enock the c.man of the Virgin Island that never seen a woman
Thank you very much!!! We really loved our stay on the island! Such a cool place!
Ubawa dekkama hina yanawa bn
Wow so this place is in Uganda and i had no idea about it yet am augandan wow nswade
These people live by such a beautiful philosophy! I wish more people thought like them.
Yes, it was nice to see how these people respect animals!
Thank you for sharing this wonderfull snake n bird island minus ladies. How people live respecting Cobra snakes n live together with each other.
Thank you very much for watching and we are happy that you like this video!
Great video depicting the habitat of the island with the huge Gray-headed Gull colony and the human way of life there.
Thank you very much! Great that you like the video.
Thanks for making us informative about this place. Thjs is really good to know.👍
Our pleasure 😊 Thanks for watching!
Who needs women when you got venomous snakes already near by 😂😂💀
Haha 😂😂😂 We were told that some women did not behave well and terrible storms came after that. No sex is allowed on the island and families of the fishermen stay on the mainland.
Jason Omar That made me laugh because it’s true
Oti Jeremiah I knew Cobras are very smart but did not know they was freaks like that.. I want a pet cobra now
@Oti Jeremiah That is what you really heard? Wow, so maybe men believe that cobras become women at night :D But we can tell you that it does not work, we found 3 cobras during the night and they looked like snakes :D
@Oti Jeremiah has anyone got bitten by the cobras..?.. especially at night if they go outside to use the bathroom?
It's amazing and so beatiful island..
Hello, yes it is!!! So special and magical. Even though there is rubbish, but life thrives there!
Amazing video! Its like Dry Tortugas with a twist. Also 6:58 is exactly how I feel when I go to a coastal park and hear masses people...
Thank you very much!! We are happy that you enjoyed watching it!
Excellent video.Hard work by the cameraman.Thanks for giving this video to the viewers.
Many thanks! We are very happy that you like this video. Please check out more videos on our channel! 🙏🐍
Thank you for an amazing video.
Very welcome and we are happy that you liked it :)
It is a great story of coexistence between humans and snakes and should be shared more around the world!
Thank you so much!!! We will be grateful if you share the link to this video ;)
Thank You for sharing this beautiful video:)
Thank you so much for watching! :)
What a beautiful video.
Thank you very much!
That’s so amazing 😍
Remote outback Australia is very similar.
Snakes do not perceive humans as a thread per se, and are quite relaxed around the very few humans they encounter.
Snakes are quite inquisitive, so one might find a snake investigating even ones limbs, body, or just looking in a cold night for some body heath...in ones bed or sleeping bag.....😉😊😊
The trick is not to panic....you won't get bitten if you remain motionless and keep your nerves.
Snakes are not aggressive, they rather get away than bite!
But rapid movements will alert them and triggers their defensive instincts, even multiply bites are then not uncommon, depending on the specie.
Ergo
Snakes are not out to bite you!
In Australia, 90% of snake bite victims are stupid idiots , that either tried to kill a snake, remove it from their property without proper training....or are drunks that thought to impress whoever was watching!
Respect snakes, keep your distance, and count yourself lucky if you encounter one of this great creatures.
A few little known facts about Australian deathly wildlife:
Deaths per year, on average for the past 20 years, due to,
Snake bite....1-3
Shark attacks....2-3
Marine life, such as sea snakes, deathly fish and in particular the very deathly jelly fish in the tropics.....1-3
Crocodile attacks...1-3
Spider and scorpions....zero!
Well,
There you have it,....Australia might have some of the deathliest wildlife in the world, but in reality it is one of the safest countries on earth!
But, what native animal kills more people than all the rest combined, hundreds every year?
The cute Kangaroo !!!
How?
It is the cause of numerous, often fatal car accidents all over Australia.
Well, I've written enough....dinner is ready.
If anyone likes to know why that is....let me know and I will explain.
Cheers
from tropical Cairns
Thanks for watching and a long comment! What you write about Australia is absolutely true! Enjoy your dinner in Cairns!
Nice... Man.. ✨️
Such a beautiful place love this island
We are very happy to read that!
Looks Very Beautiful And Peaceful 👌👌
Thank you very much!!!!
Even spiders around my lil garden ..chase me down when I get to close or attempt to kill some cases .. I found out some can jump and even grow bigger when you let them..pros. they help with the pest..because that's their diet I let them be .. thank God ..and appreciate nature..just like tree need our breathing we survive from their existence..rest of natural applies
Now this is what I call very necessary info .....much needed fam
This is very inspiring. Thank you, gives me joy that people respect the snakes.
Yes, it was so nice to be in such a place! Amazing experience!
Great video!!
Thanks for the visit!
Who else sent here because of Quarantine?
This island found in my country unganda
Yes it's in Uganda
"Women are not allowed to stay on the island"
There is already enough fkn noise..
The noise there was huge, we agree!
Hahaha damn you!!! 🤭😁😁😘
@@monalisaimperial3680 To be honest, a place with both women and men is always the best, it is not stereotypic :D But it is a question if women would respect the cobras like the men do, haha :D
@@LivingZoology well, I do respect all God's creation! But I don't ever want to be near and be in a place with cobras! 😩😱 Haha sorry... but not every woman is manly enough 😂😅 😂😂
@@monalisaimperial3680 Haha, it is understandable that cobras around are scary for many people! :D But when they start to get interested a bit and know more about snakes they start to realize that they are amazing animals which should not be feared so much :)
Another gem of a video, who would of thought of a place like this in the world besides India?
It is amazing place and hidden gem for snake lovers! :) Thank you for watching!
Interesting and worthwhile video.
Glad you think so!
Fascinating stuff, thanks for sharing! I I imagine all those snakes keep the bird population in check which inturn helps the fisherman . God I love nature
Thank you so much!!! The island seems to be in balance - people, birds, snakes, other smaller animals, beautiful. Even though people make so much mess there animals thrive.
Paul nokio all snakes? U saw how many exactly?
@@godsfavourite6134 , at least 3 different ones. Solid point but hey, it's a small island
@@godsfavourite6134 We found 6 cobras in 3 hours and filmed 3. Some online sites from Uganda say there are about 1000 snakes, we were a little bit disappointed and would say several hundred. It was not really infested with snakes. But still, when you look for Forest cobra on the mainland you have to search for 2 days to catch one.
Understood and sorry just when u see "snake island" u expect something like in Brazil with snake dens etc but it's understandable.
Thank you for this... not a fan of snakes but can still appreciate this... hadn’t even ever heard of it & im Ugandan 🤦🏾♀️
Thank you for watching!!! It is a beautiful place! We love Uganda :)
Fantastic video on this island thank you
Thank you very much for watching!
Awesome 👍
Beautiful island with one 🐍😍😂
Thank you 🤗 There were 3 cobras in this video and we would be able to film more if we stayed longer than 24 hours.
Peace, hormony and respect for each other is lesson of this video.
Stay blessed all.
Thank you very much for watching and we are happy that you like the message!
Excellent content. The videography was brilliant. How many people were part of the team? I noticed that the birds stayed in the deeper part of the island and humans were only in one corner. It must have been dangerous to take the shots of the birds and nests given that it is a snake Island.
Thank you so much!!! Our team had 4 people. Cobras could be anywhere, so we had to be careful. But this island is amazing place.
You folks are Blessed to go where you want. Thanks again
Our pleasure! Thank you for your support!
Wow Beautiful message.!
Thank you!
Great example that people can coexist with venomous snakes, forest cobras are beautiful animals one of my favourite of all cobras. Great film.
Thank you very much! Yes, also for us it was a special place. We work in Africa a lot and we try to educate people and show them that it is not neccessary to kill them. And here they live in perfect harmony with deadly cobras! The island will be included in the feature-length film called The Most Venomous Snakes of Africa.
@@LivingZoology Well done for spreading the positive word regarding snakes.
@@nepaleseman1010 Thank you, we try to do this work in Africa, Asia and America.
You can have all those venomous snakes. I don't want anything to do with them.
One reason people and snakes can coexist here peacefully is that they are fishermen who work far away from the snakes on the water. Most snake bites in the world happen where people work in the fields and platantions stepping on snakes while working or touching them while harvesting.
Happy to know about this island. But humans dump waste everywhere and making it unfit to live after some years
Humans are messy everywhere. In this place, the wild animals live in that mess and thrive. Very special story.
Hahahahahahahahahahah thrive in garbage!? Humans may thrive in garbage but animals do not
Super well shot and put together.
Thank you very much!
GREAT Video. PEOPLE AND snakes IN HARMONY. FANTASTIC
Thanks for watching!
@@LivingZoology beautiful Videos without voices. THAT is speciel and NEW for me bud good. Make a Video over the 100 Foot/step snake. (Deinagkistrodon Acutus? ) lives in asia
@@saschas.4921 Thanks a lot! We are happy that you like our style! Most our videos are without commentary. We hope to go to Asia again in the future and find that snake!
U meant bird island i see coz u showed us one snake and lots of noisy birds. It's obviously easy to live peacefully with one snake.
You see there 3 cobra individuals :D :D And if you cannot recognize adult from youngsters then what should we say! It is a complex story and we covered it all with all inhabitants, so sorry! We have spent 24 hours on that island and we are the first foreigners to professionally film that place. We found 6 cobras and managed to film 3. If you ever searched for cobras and worked with them you would not have this comment. Show us your film and we can compare :D
@@LivingZoology As you mentioned in description you said snakes island, but in video reality shows its birds island thats why he is saying this 😂
God's Favourite, Snakes do not come out in crowded places they better stay away from danger caused by big animals that's why you see less snakes in the video but reality is there are lot of snakes on that tiny island living there. Snakes are shy creatures . . .
@@vishalkulkarni3489 Thank you! Finally, somebody reasonable. We think that finding 6 cobras in 3 hours and in the video there are 3 individuals, is a great indication that the island is full of snakes. But those who criticize know nothing about snakes and they just try to find mistakes and points for arguments.
@@LivingZoology Let them find, but don't think about them 😇
They can talk only, they can't do anything. Good Wishes for next project 👍💐
They turned that island, that was probably once beautiful into a shit hole!!! All the garbage I saw laying around
@Rex Colubra its not my job to think about where it goes. Deal with what I said, not something you, or I know, since I don't live there! Nor do you!!@
are u mad because your boy lost the election?
@@teegrey1606 you are the fool that you sound like
My Uganda the pearl of Africa 😍😍
Yes, it is a magical country!
Just hearing the sounds of all of them birds would drive me crazy.But man I wonder what it would feel like just sitting on a rock at the highest point at night just to look into that ocean.
You get used to those sounds quickly! Thank you for watching!
I love how those men are watching the snakes and not killing them they are my kind of people and the birds sound annoying
Yes, it was amazing to see how they respect snakes!
because birds shouting to those snake rowrowrow the boat
They only care about dumping their trash and polluting the island and lake with their garbage
I find that snakes know if you are a threat to them or not. I used to live in the countryside in the Southeast US and there were tons of venomous and non venomous snakes around my house. My neighbors always had close calls with them, but they never bothered me as I walked around there and in the woods, etc. I’ve even rescued a few from dogs.
Yes, snakes are afraid of fast movements and your behavior towards them is very important. If you are calm and relaxed, snakes also will be calm and relaxed.
Oh my gosh,. That's absolutely terrifying.. how do you deal with them ? Make sure none is crawling around your vehicle,. Maybe the swimming pool,. If it was me? I would have been in a grave years ago 🥺😮. I get it,. No !! I don't want to imagine. You would need a body suit made of metal ,. Not making fun of no one. I'm glad I don't live in a state like that ,. I remember a family 1988, moved from Florida to the West Coast , they had to go outside and run off Crocs in their back yard so the kids could go outside and play. That's why they are here West Coast Oregon.
I live in South Florida and the snakes are a pain.
Superb 👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic video
Thank you very much!
4:08 "the island is full of birds, lizards and frogs"
Add rubbish.
Yeah, rubbish too :D Snakes are also plentiful, we found 6 in 3 hours and filmed 3 individuals.
Well who’s volunteering to help go clean up the rubbish?
@@DJCole34 wouldn't make a difference until the locals stop throwing rubbish around
id go,
And only 1 cobra
Btw those fish they catch in Lake Victoria are Nile Perch. They can grow up to 6ft and well over 200lbs but due to over fishing of the lake the large ones are rare.
You are right, those are Nile Perches.
Cool island I figured there was some kind of snake and bird island in Africa it makes sense there are tons of animals found in Africa from snakes to mammals to fish and birds.
It is a very special place! The numbers of all the animals there are amazing! Many birds, snakes, geckos, fish.
Quite interesting. Yes, animals are part of nature.
Thank you for watching!
Every 🐍 dream is to go to this 🏝️ once in a life time.
Yes, very true!

"This is a rare example of people living in harmony with nature"
Shows a snake crawling through a yard littered with plastic trash.
Well, at least these people don't kill snakes and tolerate them. There is plenty of rubbish in many places in Africa, nothing strange.
@@LivingZoology loving venomous snakes is not normal. I'm not saying slaughter every one. They serve a purpose. But loving them and allowing them to live that close is not normal at all
And rather fascinating that they believe these things are spirits.
@@benhogan6482 Yes, we agree with you. Snakes are not animals that are beloved by everyone. But we try to show people that snakes need respect. It is sometimes difficult because many people fear snakes and some of them got bitten before or somebody from their family died after snakebite.
Great information and great assessment
Glad you enjoyed it!
It’s incredible their synanthropism
Yes, it was incredible to see!
There is a huge abundance of frogs, birds and trash

There are plenty of fish around and also many birds. Better than being on an island without any food, no? 😂
Seems like there are people living in there with houses
@@worldpeace5853 Yes, people are living there because they have jobs there. Just men.

This place seems nice and clean.
It was very nice! Not so clean, but that is normal in Africa.

Thanks a lot!!
Like.. Who felt this is birds Iceland.. not a snake Iceland..
Snake Island or bird lsland
I see more birds than snake, shoulda change the title to birds island
This is awesome. My favorite cobra specie
Awesome, thank you!
Its amazing how africans learn to live side by side with everything
Yes, they are adaptable! But many times they exploit nature too much. This is luckily not the case.
There is one here too in Brazil : ILHA DA QUEIMADA GRANDE - A ILHA DAS COBRAS
Yes, it is. We tried to get a permission to go there but it is very difficult to get it.
Perfect places to settle down and live peacefully 😂😂😅
Haha 😅 For those men it is probably like that!
This is amazing!
Thank you very much! 🙏
Amazing island I was there in 2018 I really enjoyed

6:10 when mom trims all your hair and say you're a handaome young man
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The people on the island respect the cobras, so the cobra's almost lost their defensive behaviors. I wonder what the cobras were like with defensive behaviors?
Forest cobras usually hood up very quickly, try to strike, etc. Check out other Forest cobras from the mainland: ruclips.net/video/XQJsDLtKOFU/видео.html
Snakes don't lose nothing . It reacts once you trigger it .
Very great chettha video...
Thank you for watching.
Great effort
Thank you for watching!
Plenty of baby birds and eggs to eat
2:31 This dude's wearing sandals... I'm surprised he can catch fish you'd think the weight of his balls would sink any boat.
People wear sandals there as there were no cobras. They are there but no accidents, it is amazing!
Very nice video 👍👍👍
Thank you very much!
Wow....lot of birds👌👌👌👍
Snakes too, we just had only 24 hours on the island and found 6.
Be careful....and ...be safe..👌👍
