Deadly venomous Puff adder (Bitis arietans) is one of the biggest vipers in the world. This snake species lives in savannas and semi-deserts of Africa. Puff adders are well camouflaged in the leaf litter or in the dry grass. This species is responsible for many bites and deaths, in fact it is the second most dangerous snake of Africa, after Saw-scaled vipers. Puff adders are locally very common. Watch the video to see this amazing wild venomous snake in its natural habitat! You will also see, how we rescued the Puff adder from a village and relocated it!

Beside the education I've received about so many different snakes around the world, these videos also allow us to see the real geography of the areas where these snakes live and also the people who share a landscape with the snakes. That red cobra was amazing the way its coloration matched the soil environment. I really enjoyed this video. Thanks for bringing them to us.

I am Kenyan. I live close to one of the largest mangroove forests in the world known as Arabuko Sokoke. There are a lot of endemic animal species in the area. I regularly admire snakes on technology platforms such as yt. However, meeting with such fellas as the ones shown above loosens your stool trust me. Ive got a pal who got bit in the foot, he was rotting before his demise. I respect and fear these danger noodles

You are right that snakebites are scary. Even for people who love snakes, like us, getting bitten is scary! That is why we try to educate people about snakes, we try to make them understand these animals better. Also, it is important to do things which will minimize the risk of getting bitten.

What terrifies me about puff adders is that unlike other snakes, they tend not to flee or try to get away upon noticing human presence, you could obliviously be standing right next to it but it won't strike, problem is when you get into contact with it, it will immediately bite!

Great content & footage folks, thanks! Nice to see that fine specimen released safely; where I grew up in Africa we had many close encounters - as a young boy I stepped on one when not wearing shoes and the strike just went under my foot. On another occasion while climbing a very steep bank and using my hands to pull myself up I came within inches of grabbing a sleeping puff adder- due to the angle it was only a foot or two from my face; I was lucky. One thing I thought you could have mentioned is that they are back-fanged and sort of strike backwards - not sure I’ve described it precisely but it’s not far off. They are also slow and cumbersome hence folk step on them and in that way get bitten.

I am morbidly afraid of snakes. lots of videos are hard to watch but this was such a wonderful experience. I have a *completely* different perception of the puff adder now. Your video was an incredibly refreshing view and even to someone terrified of snakes, I came away having a positive (so excited to say that) view of this species. She wasn’t trying to hurt anyone, she was fairly docile, when you released her she just wanted to go do her thing. I was surprised she didn’t try to strike at you, she just hurried away. it wasn’t at all what I expected and now I can appreciate their beauty.

However missing from this video, is the awesome speed of a puff adder’s strike, and it’s behaviour of puffing up it’s body as a warning to anyone getting close or threatening the snake, which is how it gets its name.

Not at all trying to be nit picky, but the singular of species is species, you may be talking about 1 of a certain animal or 20 and it is still species. I know a lot of folks who English is not their primary language, that don't know, so I'm just trying to be helpful. I always want to be corrected if I write or say the wrong thing. Lol, I'm much harder on my own sons 😃 have a nice day.

Always waiting for my night off every Monday here in the north east coast of the US. As usual , you take me all the way back home in 🇰🇪 Kenya. Yes this is a snake I saw in athi river. He was thick and hissed like huge balloon. I honestly can’t remember what became of him. This was probably back in 1999. Back to the video....the amount of work you put in hunting this snake, this nervous defense snake,is beyond impressive. You need to be discovered.. by BBC or somebody!!! I hope puffy bites on nothing but rats. Happy life

I remember I was 11 or 12 in a place called Kakamega (western province of kenya not far from Lake Victoria). I used to read a weekly magazine for the area and I happened to look at the obituary section and I saw a small section made out to an 18 year old Italian teenager. His mom and dad said he loved snakes and his favourites were puff adders. He died from a puff adder bite. Beautiful tribute to their son and his love for the snakes. This was in early 80's. I will never forget how sad I felt for his mom and dad. Any snake that can strike at a prey in a split second, miss the prey, make the correction striking the prey a second time (all in a split second) and remain motionless afterwards is bad news. Also this is the one of the rare snakes that you cannot ever grab by it's tail, it literally can spin around and tag you and you won't see it (just feel the bite). My hats off to your staff and crew filming this beautiful and deadly snake.

We know where Kakamega is. In those forest you can find other big vipers from the same genus as Puff adder: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsWVnJtqqczQo6M.html and kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a7R_gahj0bfbY6c.html You are right that Puff adder strikes very fast! It is probably the second fastest striking snake in the world. You will enjoy the upcoming video, we rescued a huge Puff adder from the field near a village.

Puff adders are known as the landmines of Africa, they are super awesome at camouflage and they are one of the biggest killers of people in Africa. I watch this amazing channel 'Dingo Dinkleman' he lives there and does fantastic conservaton work for all animals but he really loves his snakes and had loads of them. This is a great video by the way thankyou.
