"But this is not a reptile that you need to be afraid of."

"I would say that this is arguably the most dangerous snake species here in South Africa."

Every video coyote shows these animals such respect. He sets a great example for anyone trying to learn.

I love how Coyote includes his camera crew, really makes them seem like a team and makes it more personal.

Gonna be honest, the snake vibing in the hat was adorable

I live in the subtropical state of Florida and while walking through my backyard, I found a small snake. It was all black with an orange ring around it's neck. My mom and I first thought it was a baby, but after some research, we found out it was an adult Ringneck Snake. It was so fun to discover different creatures, and the best part was, it was all in my backyard! We have a lake outside our yard and sometimes my friends and I like to hunt for little frogs and then release them right after. Sometimes, we even like to go near the beach in Biscayne and look for snails curled up under rocks. If we're lucky, we even find small crabs! Coyote and his crew are a huge inspiration to me. The Brave Wilderness crew teaches us that there are so much more in the world around us and that exploring all these different creatures is an opportunity to take a step into the magnificent world of the wilderness. Thank you, Coyote!

Learned something new~ Cytotoxic affects living cells and tissues, Neurotoxic attacks the nerves and Hemotoxic, of course, goes straight for the blood cells.

Can I just say that I love how much he cares for the animals? He makes sure they don't keep the snake in the hot sun and never tries to make them strike for the camera. He is always so aware of how stressed the animal is becoming and backs of right away. What a great guy!

I remember getting the heart attack of a lifetime once when I was out hiking when I stopped for a drink of water and heard that puffing sound, turns out there was a puff adder about three times the size of the one in the video about half a metre away from me. Fair to say I didn't stay there for too long :)

"He's got a cute, fat little tail, and he really is quite shy. The puff adder is all 'PUFF!' and very little action" - Terri Irwin

[ERiCAA]

it satisfies me when they put the snake or animal back where they found it. Its nice of them. :)

Dad :- How soon can i expect your college fees to start paying back ??

Coyote:- Be Brave !! Stay Wild!!

[Surfer]

How could anyone not like this guy? He's so warm and friendly.

[ehbeefamily]

[katiekirby]

[RhettyforHistory]

“This is the second most dangerous snake species in South America”

Numerous notables in herpetology (including Steve Irwin) have said they'd rather be bitten by a snake like a mamba or a taipan than a puff adder. A large delivery from an adult specimen would cause incredible rot and organ damage. If you don't die outright, you're probably going to lose at least some part of your body to necrosis. I remember a herpetologist who got bitten by one who had part of his big toe grafted onto the remnants of his thumb when he took a poke by a single fang. Dude looked like his toe was on his hand.
