Same thought here. Subscribed first time I watched a video on the channel yesterday
@@matvangeo are rinkhals totally different to cobras?
@@thedisabledwelshman9266 they are genetically very different and evolved along a different lineage. They fill a similar ecological niche, but are far more cold tolerant and give birth to live young, aswell as having keeled scales. They are a monotypic genus. The similarities are that hood in a very similar way to cobras aswell as spit, yet their technique is rather different to spitting cobras from the genus Naja.
Great educational video!
Venemous snakes are scary, but so misunderstood.
We need more advocates like you!!!
Thanks!
Thank for your kind words 🙏. Appreciate it
Amazing. Very good and useful informations. Thanks.
Thanks for your videoe about Rinkhals snake
I love this snake acting
Beautiful snakes. They were the most common for us to come across in Walkerville, Gauteng, and responsible for most snake bites to pets like dogs and horses. I lost a puppy that got bitten while killing what must've been a juvenile by it's length and colouration. Unfortunately no antivenin could be found to save him and the vet phoned multiple sources, all out of stock 😢. Snakes are still my favourite reptiles. Thank you for the educational video, I learned a lot!
I believe my brother and I found one of these in Cape Town in the 60's when we were very young. Apparently we called our mother from the kitchen to show off the big worm we'd found in the back yard. It was playing dead and I think we were poking it with a short stick.
Wow amazing! Proud of you and your work as a fellow South African !! LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED!
I wonder how a snake would re act if you spit back haha :p
Always interesting. Thanks for the enlightenment!
Amazing snake!
Wonderful job in your presentation!
Bravo!
Thanks a lot for your kind msg. Appreciate it 🙏
What an excellent video. I cycled past this snake this morning and needed insight so thank you for this video, very insightful
Awesome that you had a sighting of a Rinkhals this morning. Glad the video was insightful 🙏🐍
Brilliant content, I stay in Midrand and have crossed swords with these snakes 4 times on my property , and no have never killed any ,we always call out the local snake catcher
So unique! I was wondering if you know if the spitting evolved independently of the true cobras, or they have a common ancestor? Would that account for the different sorting technique?
Yea they evolved around 11 million years and and the other spitting cobras from the Naja genus evolved 6-8 million years ago, then the Asian spitters around 4 million years ago. No one really knows what the catalyst was to evolve spitting, but there is definitely convergent evolution at play.
hey brotha mat , PLEASE give me the link to that organizition that is helping snake bite victims worldwide , i can jason n my friends in india about it to help spread the word , thank n talk soon . tom !
Yes
N American hognose snake is increasing in potency and enlarged fangs last couple of decades
That's not a snake that's a worm
That snake doesn't scare me
As long as you leave them alone or wear eye protection they're not that dangerous
Is the rinkhals used by south african snake charmers?
@@BlackieFoxxless Not unless they have good goggles.
@@BlackieFoxxless no, we do not generally have snake charmers in South Africa.
@@commentwell3870but we do however have some charming snakes
