Incredible: A Gaboon Viper Strikes a Bird in Slo-Mo
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- Gaboon vipers don't have the fastest strike in the snake world--but they don't need to be faster than other snakes, just their prey. In this case, a passing bird stands no chance.

Superb comment
Body hidden😂
She was literally so fast that the bird didnt notice SHE MISSED
Upto 200 mph a strike
A solid no no for me
Wow! There is literally no time for the bird to realize and make a choice
Literally literally literally.
And to think domestic and some wild cats 🐱 are fast enough to evade strikes from most snakes while also striking with a paw says a lot about them!
For those who don't know, the Gaboon viper has the LONGEST fangs in the snake world. 2 inches long...
Vincent2wice its bite is also the most painful one out of all snakes
Doesn't it also have one of the fastest strikes in the world? I know it's not THE fastest but I believe it's up there.
Gilberto Sanchez There is no study to describe what you are saying, but as per common saying, the most painfull bite is inflicted by the Russell's viper due to its moderate sized fang. The longest fangs in the Gaboon deliver venom deep into the blood stream thereby preventing local accumulation. But moderate fangs in Russells, death n puff adders and Rattle snakes leave some venom to accumulate in the local tissues near the bite site thereby triggerring necrosis and severe burning. Other effects are more or less the same due to common nature of the viper venoms.
A5C3NDANC3 bro did u even watch the vid with Sound. He literally said its Not the fastest in the World but very fast with 20 feet per second
i believe the puff adder has the fastest strike but hell anyone of them bite you your gonna be down for a few months.
"Where she can eat in peace, away from the weirdos filming her."
Really!!!!
They're just doing their job of filming a wildlife encounter, and doing an expert job of it too, I might add. Nature in its raw form isn't always pretty. They're just part of the "food chain".
I'm still thinking about the fact that they 'named' the snake "Velvet". I replayed the video several times. They have at least three cameras on the snake. I had to ask myself why they wouldn't give the bird a 'heads up'.
@@awaitingthetrumpetcall4529 don't disrupt the natural circle of life, unless it's an invasive cane toad or soemthing
@@pluggothesluggo5509 Invasive species are a fact of life globally. Divers off the coast of Florida find lionfish deeper and deeper. International ships discharge ballast water in American freshwater ports.
0:15 - pause the video in order to appreciate that outstanding camouflage on the right side of the screen - the snake's head out in the open & yet perfectly hidden amongst the dry leaves & twigs on the forest floor. Mere inches away from its oblivious prey, it holds its position until it's ready to strike.
Prime example of an ambush predator.
I also noticed the black strips behind its eyes, it makes the snakes head look like a dead leaf casting shadows
It's so hard to make out the full profile of the head, really amazing camouflage
forget that. 1:02 I had no idea where it was. Absolutely terrifying when it made its move. Even going back to view that patch of leaves you just can't tell. Remarkably freaky.
Their body pattern is exquisite. Beautiful animal.
In case anyone wondering, those birds are called Guinea Hen, or Guinea Fowl, and they're wild but they can peacefully co-exist among chickens and other livestock. They eat ticks and are very noisy. (I used to have one on my farm, it actually helped me keep coyotes and foxes away, because it would screech loudly when they're nearby.)
here in africa its not uncommon for people to keep them along side chickens in villages. seeing this video i kinda suspect these are domestic the way they werent frightened by the snake when they first saw it, i kinda think the crew set this up, bought domestic birds, brought the snake, found a location and filmed. id think wild guinea fowl would be afraid of a snake and would make a lot of noise while flying off. but i could be wrong
And they ARE delicious too (I am not a Gaboon Viper)
those in the video aren't wild at all obviously bred in cages and used to film this scene because any wild animal has a sense of danger this doesn't at all add to that they have a look of cages fowls
Thanks for sharing.
In Brazil we call them “galinha de Angola - Angola hen”

I remember as a kid when I used to watch all the VCR collection of national geographic my grandpa had.
Man it's good to live in a time of technology. This is so incredible, the details..
I know right.. And they are coming up with more beautiful and fascinating narrative too. Like Sir Attenborough's series of the world. Too beautiful, things we otherwise wouldve never seen in out entire life
Yeah, I was born in 79’ and most people don’t realize how good we got it.
“Velvet adjusts her fangs.. it can really get in the way sometimes”
Yeah, just realized that animals also have problems dealing with the average day to day life Like us.
Slight correction. Gaboon Vipers have one of the fastest strikes in the snake world. Also, Gaboons have the longest fangs of all snakes. Some reaching 2 1/2 inches.
No the bushmaster of South America has slightly longer fangs.
@@raferaustin1627 nope
All snakes or all venomous snakes?
@@PointNemo9 I don't think any non-venomous snakes have "long fangs" per se. They all have teeth, certainly, but not fangs.
At least it waits for it's prey to die first before eating.
Why does it take 10 minutes for the little bird to die though?
Vipers have venom that destroys tissue rather than the neurotoxin that some snakes have. It takes longer to kill the prey animal. Neurotoxin causes breathing to stop and kills much quicker.
Well.. just think about it. You've got no arms and no legs. Would you want your prey to thrash around in your throat as you swallow? LOL
a bazillion years ago, I remember seeing a film of a Gaboon Viper eating a hare; the funny thing is on that film the viper bit down & held on until the hare stopped struggling. I had heard that it's not the most venomous snakes in Africa but it injects a huge amount of venom when it bites.
it's a humane snake
Death by venomous snakes isn't as bad as getting ripped apart while your still alive by a tiger.
One of the worst ways to go for me, is if you’re a deer or moose, and run for your life from a pack of wolves until they chase you for so long that you lose by exhaustion! Only to have the wolves feast while you’re still alive!
Gaboon's venom is particularly nasty. "In humans, a bite from a Gaboon viper causes rapid and conspicuous swelling, intense pain, severe shock and local blistering. Other symptoms may include uncoordinated movements, defecation, urination, swelling of the tongue and eyelids, convulsions and unconsciousness.[3] Blistering, bruising and necrosis may be extensive. There may be sudden hypotension, heart damage and dyspnoea.[5] The blood may become incoagulable with internal bleeding that may lead to haematuria and haematemesis.[2][5] Local tissue damage may require surgical excision and possibly amputation to any affected limb." from Wikipedia
A female snake owner was bitten by her pet Gaboon while cleaning its enclosure. She let it roam loose and was bitten while searching for it under a bed or sofa. Stupid. She was found dead in her apt. bleeding profusely from her orifices.
Damn Alien.. I don't wanna disrespect the dead but damn shes a fucking idiot, right? I've seen something similar on youtube a guy who is in to snakes and has a cobra that always lunges at him, the people in the comments seem to think it's playful and not serious and attribute human emotions to the snake, even the owner thinks it's just throwing a hissy fit but it's clearly attacking. Reckon she felt the same, that the snake was her pet? I think the guys name is viperkeeper and the snake is Elvis.
Yeah right! Snake venom is extremely painful and nasty , you will litterally go through hell before you die, regardless of which kind of venom it is, hemotoxic venom(which is what the Gaboon viper and most pit vipers have) attacks the bloodstream system and you bleed out , neurotoxin venom(which cobras and all their relatives like kraits, mambas, taipans, tigersnakes, etc...have) attack the central nervous system and can cause all kinds of stuff like restricting breathing, vomiting, diarrhea, etc......and there's also Cytotoxic venom which some other snakes have, bottom line they're all nasty as hell and cause extremely excruciating pain in victims before they die, even if they live, its no fun.
big cats go for the neck so it might only be a 30 second fight before the tiger that weighs 500+ lbs breaks your neck. basically only the cone snail has the only venom with a pain reliever sooooo both ways are pretty bad
I dont know why but I laughed hard on that 'Slight miscalculation'

they see differently but, like with a tongue not with eyes. still lol

That the day I became minute man
william goode no... they do see with their eyes. and their heat pits. they smell with their tongue.
Correction: "Velvet unhinges her jaw to allow her to open her mouth wide enough." NO, just NO! Snakes don't actually unhinge their jaws, that's a MYTH, their lower jaw comes in a left and right part that doesn't connect in the front and can stretch wide open, it's only connected by ligaments so they can open their jaws wide enough to swallow huge prey but there is no unhinging involved. Snakes CANNOT unhinge their jaws! Dear god Smithsonian!
Hahaha, I was going to say the same thing. Some people are way behind. That myth was thrown out a long time ago.
@@brianheidel4550sure you were…jump on the bandwagon much?
that's interesting, I never knew they didn't actually unhinge their jaw and was just wondering if any snakes ever fail to 'rehinge it' XD.

One of my most favorite snakes in the world. Love how it missed the first strike and, was able to turn and strike with in a few seconds.
The strike was shown in slow motion. The snake actually made the adjustment in a second or less.

Many years ago I worked on a farm in Northern Ontario Canada, the farmer kept some of these birds as an always on alarm system, nothing could get near them without them causing them to start making a noise, great for keeping snakes and other wild animals away from the chickens and other livestock.

What a beautiful snake! And yes I realize another innocent animal was just killed but this is nature and it's still incredible to see it naturally through camera.
The bird committed tax fraud. They had it coming.
Circle of life and all that. The snake ate the bird, but someday the snake will die and feed decomposers and insects, which will in turn feed the birds.

I don think you are getting the sarcasm of the sound being fake?
that sound is fake for sure
Thanks for the discretion warning, but the title really says it all.
I still can't comprehend how a Viper at that size will devour that whole bird.
Snakes are full of interesting tricks, one of those is their ability to dislocate their own jaw, making their mouths wide enough to eat preys that would normally be too big for that. Sorry if my English is bad, it's not my first language
@@fulviorsc you did a pretty good job
Legend says it cooks it first...
Afterwards they say, "I can't believe I ate that WHOLE thing!"
@@fulviorsc snakes don't dislocate their jaws. They just have malleable skulls and no chin which allows them to get their jaws around prey.
That’s how I adjust my jaw as well whenever I’m about to go to the buffet.

Gorgeous my ass. One bit me 5 years ago and I almost died.
Did it seek you out in the night to assassinate you?
did you bleed out of every orifice or your body?
Actually a gaboon viper can strike up to 95 feet per second and is very close to the fastest strike of all snakes.
Snakes👏do👏not👏unhinge👏their👏jaws.
This is a misconception. Their lower jaw is not connected at the chin. Seriously! Such beautiful footage deserves your effin research.
Nati Whatever THANK YOU!
Whatever
then what exactly do they do? Also, that term has been used for decades, they did their research, but with the wrong term
They do, just not the way most people believe. The jaws are normally arranged close to each other, almost touching, but they're connected only by a flexible tendon, so the snake can "dislocate" them from each other to open it's mouth wider. The tendon still holds them together though.
Calm down no one died.
Snakes actually dont unhinge their jaws, i was expecting no misinformation from the Smithsonian
Ikr?
I was just about to say the same thing
They actually do, you'll learn that when u study herpetology
@@earthisflat as far as i know they just have really flexible and unconnected mandibles
@@davidpavel5017 well, sort of. Snakes have bifurcated jaws, which means that they have a gap in the bones, connected by a tendon, right in the middle of their jawbone. that allows them to open their mouth in 3 different directions and stretch that tendon to open far wider than any animal without a bifurcated jaw.
The Gaboon has the longest fangs of any Viper. What a beautiful snake.
It’s amazing that all animals respect each other. Sure snakes will hunt and kill other animals but only to survive. Only because it neeeds to. Not for entertainment or sport or just to be cruel...like people do. So amazing
Randy Orton slitheting in RKO
He's in that zone again, the terrible ideas running through the Apex Predator's mind.. oh my! RKO! RKO!! He got it that's got to be it!
The viper is slithering it's way watch out! Watch out ! Watch out ! RKO
I do hate when I hear about snakes unhinging their jaws in documentaries. They don't.
The tendon holding the jaw together is moved, the jaw is still operating as a hinge, just looser while eating.
Make your own channel since you are an expert.
When he said "they can really get in the way sometimes" i laughed so loud 🤣🤣🤣
Reminder! Snakes DO NOT unhinge their jaws to swallow prey. Snakes have a lower jaw that is split in the front, allowing individual movement of each side. Snakes kind of rake or pull their prey with each side until it goes down.
This has disturbing scene..
Me: we came here for that only
This is the coolest venomous snake out there! Good video! :)
damn she popped up out of nowhere when struck that guinea fowl, that was amazing that snake looked like a pile of leaves

*"A slight miscalculation; makes no difference."*
MOST BADASS SHIT EVER
The gaboon viper just has to be one of my favorite venomous snakes
I always find it cringy when people say snakes "unhinge" their jaw as in dislocation. Their jaws are loosely attached and have a wide range of motion while their "chin" is only a stretchy ligament that allows the jaws to separate and their mouth to stretch and envelope their food. There's no dislocation. Snakes seem to yawn to either fold their fangs or prepare their jaws for the food, more like a pre-work out stretch than an unhinging of the jaw.
One of the most beautiful vipers in the world
Fun fact, snakes don't actually unhinge their jaws! They have a stretchy ligament between their mandibles instead of bone, and they have ligaments connecting the jaw to the rest of their skull. These ligaments can stretch a great deal, so the snake can potentially eat prey up to 10 times larger than its head!
damn nature you scary !
That rat looking thing just got ate.
I've kept those snakes they don't drag their food for safety they drag their food to straighten it out so they can swallow it easier
Learn some grammar, you imbecile.
davidencoification. learn manners I write from knowledge acquired from actually working with this species and many other species. Aside from being a foul minded troll what knowledge, actual knowledge do you bring here. gl7b wit and 2.50 will get you a non Starbucks cup of coffee.
davidencoification because your just so smart huh dip shit
That quick adjustment from initial strike was amazing! It's pretty frightening actually.
How TF are you capturing these moments so damn close!!!!
100 cameras and planted
Dennis Thomas ahhhhhh, I would definitely like to see a video of that whole process lol
This is probably the classiest snake species I've heard of so far. Waits for prey to die. Properly prepares herself for dinner by putting away fangs. Takes her food somewhere private to eat dinner at her "dinner table" 😂😂
"This clip contains content some viewers might find disturbing"
Unless the viper doesn't do what's in the title I won't be disturbed. Slightly aroused maybe but disturbed assuredly not.
👀
U need serious help. ASAP!!
Yup. The viewer descretion is only there for the crybabies.
Crybabies, go look up videos of wild dogs hunting impala. I swear you'll die of sadness. 😭😭🤣🤣
Their mics catches everything, even the sound of the tongue as it moves. That's awesome
These things are Terrifyingly awesome. If I had a permit, and wasn't absolutely terrified of being bit and dying in under an hour I'd soooo get one
How can anyone find this disturbing? Nature. Beautiful.
Probably because of how painfully scripted it is. So obvious they planted those hens, how it pulled the hen, and I doubt the viper even actually ate it, way to massive. It wouldn't be able to move for weeks and in the wild, they can't afford that.
Amazing snakes. I tried to film one of these at the zoo for my channel, and it was so camouflaged, I didn't bother - lol.
Well after watching this, the whole gimmick Randy Orton donned as "The Viper" makes complete sense, because the snake striked as the commentators would say, "OUTTA NOWHERE"
Deserve more likes😂😂
Nuuu birb :(
In other news, great video!
For those of you wondering, that strike speed is 13.63 mph, not too shabby going from motionless to that quick instantly.
I am deathly afraid of snakes, but I'm so fascinated by them. It's crazy. Watching them in action only makes me more afraid, but also makes me want to watch more. lol.
Understand them, and you’re fear will diminish.
I thought I was going to see a Gabon viper getting a bird flying by!!!😂😂😂
1:28 "Mr. Stark, i don't feel so good"
Nature is brutal, yet so beautiful at the same time.
Why the warning at the beginning? I simply saw a snake acquiring its meal.
Snakes DO NOT unhinge their jaws to eat. They have a ligament in the front lower jaw, the front lower jaw is not attached like ours is. This ligament stretches to allow them to swallow large prey.
She has more compassion for her prey than Chinese people

They have them because its 2019. xD
Snakes don't unhinge their jaws... they are just very movable..
Greg Hill THANK YOU!
I know right? I know people who have 5 snakes or something like that, can tell you their Latin names... but didn't know this anatomy fact.
The narrator sounds like Kellogg from fallout
They don’t unhinge their jaw. Their lower jaw is comprised of two parts connected by an elastic ligament. This allows them to open their mouth wide enough to swallow massive prey
as a avid snake lover and owner... this is one of the one's i am most fearful of, and will prob never own
Some say they are not very hostile to work with. But your right they pack a nasty bite...
Well actually snakes can’t unhinge their jaws, they’re just not fused together at the chin so they can spread their lower jaws as they open them.

Ah, the art of specialized predation.
honestly that doesnt seem like that bad a way to die in terms of how things go in the animal kingdom. Get bitten out of the blue. then lie down and chill for a couple minutes and then its all over.
Karina Peters - It's no more agonizing than being gored, mauled, or dismembered. That was the comparison being made.

well, it could have been listening to Cthulhu reading his autobiography in an eerie, baby voice, but I hear ya.
Your comment is sensible but you got the wrong snake man. The Gaboon viper has a mixture of cytoxic hemotoxic venom. It will dissolve living tissues and cells while the prey is still alive, but still not as messy as being mauled or being sliced.
Alien Soup cook dinner .”SHE DESERVED IT”
Thats was incredible. That mouth got real wide to strike. Was fun to watch. Awesome video
Not sure, does this snake keep its fangs in 2 different positions for hunting/killing and eating or what?
Quiet Cricket
Yes the snake keeps her (because this one is female) fangs in different positions.
Normally they are flattened against the roof of the mouth, but they swing forward when biting.
Also, snakes have two different types of teeth. They have the two fangs that inject the venom, and they also have rows of smaller teeth that literally stab the prey and reel it into the mouth in order to swallow it.
Having no hands to cut the food with or put it in your mouth really forces evolution to give you some creepy shit just to make the food go down. :P
All animals are referred to as "it" in the English language.
That's bullshit. There are tons of documentaries where they use the animals genders when they talk about them... I would not call my pet an it either...
0YouCanCallMeAl0 would you just call a dog it ?

It's like me finding a good video to watch while eating. Peace.
Ok did he missed and made a quick turn back and hit before the bird even flinch?
Karina Peters
Ok i finally watched this with sound the snake did missed and made a quick turn around before the bird even moved. Wow.
Karina Peters
Yes but some are faster. I have not seen a pyton or boa missed and come back all in one motion. Not saying it never happened but i just have not seen it. I have seem pyton or boa miss then try again but not all in one motion like this Gaboon viper.
Karina Peters Yes all snakes are fast when it comes to catch a prey, but they are no match for the vipers, specially Gaboon vipers. Gaboons have the FASTEST strike speed in the snake world @ 6.7m/sec.
Kaustuv, the video plainly states that Gaboons do NOT have the fastest strike in the world. Death adders have the fastest strike.
I have heard around .15 seconds for vipers. I think human reaction time is like .5 or maybe .3 for a limited motion hyper trained specialist.
a fly is maybe.1 or .2. a preying mantis is like .01, and cannot stop it's action once it commits.
the two toed sloth will get back to you next week.
Beautiful. So delicate, yet so deadly.
Holy Fuck
Snakes are so patient when it comes to food unlike some humans ;)
No way this thing can eat a small antelope...
Yeah I thought that was weird. Maybe he meant Armadillo
@@bensodas in Africa?
@@UnfoundHopes won’t lie I’m not an Armadillo expert
Well this bird was small prey for the snake, they could take on almost double the size. They said small antilope, I guess in the rainforest there live some smaller species of antilopes than the ones we typically see in documentary films being hunted by lions.
There is snakes who can take on those as well, african rock python is known to eat full grown big antilopes and even subadult leopard
Imagine in the end the voice actor says: So come on now to visit the chicken slaughter house to get yourself a piece of that bite.
Ka-BOOM viper..............
Get it, KA-BOOM SOUNDS LIKE GABOON
That bird almost looked as though it had come to terms with what was happening and died peacefully.
