The Nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes) is one of the most venomous snakes of Europe (it lives mostly on Balkan peninsula). It is the first venomous snake species we found together in the wild and we have it in our Living Zoology logo. Nose-horned vipers have long fangs and their bite can potentially kill a human. This viper is very beautiful! Our friend David from the USA came to visit us in Europe and his main target snake species to see was of course the Nose-horned viper! Join us on the trail of this venomous snake (Poskok in Croatian language) in Croatia! We found 9 species of snakes, so be ready for an adventure full of snake encounters!
Species found:
Four-lined snake (Elaphe quatuorlineata)
Grass snake (Natrix natrix)
Western whip snake (Hierophis viridiflavus carbonarius)
Leopard snake (Zamenis situla)
European cat snake (Telescopus fallax)
Aesculapian snake (Zamenis longissimus)
Balkan whip snake (Hierophis gemonensis)
Eastern Montpellier snake (Malpolon insignitus)
Nose-horned viper (Vipera ammodytes)
You did a fantastic job with this one!! One of the best herping videos I have ever seen, and trust me I have seen a lot😉 Hopefully more people will find your channel and support you!
Wow, thank you! Great that you love our new film! :)
Excellent film! Truly captures the excitement of tracking down and finding European snakes. Also noticed I had not subscribed with this account yet! Rectified! :)
Thanks a lot! 🙂 We hope we showed everyone that herping in Europe is fun!
Práve som to dopozeral a musím uznať, že dokument je fakt parádny. Nádherné zábery a strih! Už sa teším na ďalšie spoločné expedície! :-)
Super, sme radi, že sa ti film páčil! :)
The excitement of herpetology! 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
Oh yes! 😀
@@LivingZoology😢😮😂🎉 c. ?
Love the passion and enthusiasm of the whole group. And the cinematography is, as always, incomparable.
Thank you so much!! Great that you love this film!
Congrats. We sometimes forget to mention our species of Europe because we are attracted by more exotic species. But we have in Europe amongst most spectacular species not for size but for patterns. What could we say about Vipera kaznakovi or dinniki what shows sometimes orange or red colour. I remember that Vipera ammodytes ruffoi show an incredible almost silver colour and some specimens of Vipera ammodytes ammodytes are sometimes grey, brown but also beige and pink! So much variation in the coloration. And what say about situla. Ah I forget to comment your fantastic footage about Lachesis, so beautiful images about a so elusive species.
Thank you so much! It is great that you love our content! Exactly, Europe has some very cool species!
I know nothing about snakes and have never had any particular interest in them but this has become one of my favourite youtube accounts. I basically watch every video.
Thank you so much! It is great to hear that you are interested in our content! 🙏🙂
Awesome~👍
Thank you for sharing this video~🤗
Nice, thank you very much for watching!
That nose horned viper is crazy! How are these not more popular?
Beautiful species, right!? Maybe it is not so popular because it lives in Europe.
I saw the video and thought, oh no, 122 minutes. That's too long. Then I started watching it, and 122 minutes later, I thought, oh no, that's too short. Best video ever. I'm from Australia but I was lucky to find a Balkan and Nose horned on my trip to Croatia, on Hvar. Both were adults. Excellent job on the video guys :)
It is really great that you enjoyed watching the whole film! 🙏🙂 Nice to know that you visited Croatia!
Such a great trip thank you for sharing it !!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice trip, good job ❤
Wow!!! Is this really true! :) Thank you for watching, Marti! ❤
I live in Mostar and in the Mountains her was so many Nose horned Vipers.. I have seen Hundrets of them in my live... And the people have a secret Legend to this Snake, the snake can jump 3 to 5 Meters... I have never see a jump like this but sooo many people say he was see this unbelievable jumps.. Legends never die
These snakes cannot jump, it is a pity that a legend like this survived.
Love it, great video and pretty successful trip 👌❤
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
Loved this video. I will be visiting Croatia in a few days.
Thanks! Good luck!
Just awesome stuff.
❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you! Cheers!
Hmm! This one is really beautiful video, continue narrating you own videos, great job.
Thank you for watching!
Congratulations on such a big projekt. Not many people have the privilege to do what they love and get paid for it. But you deserved it for sure.
Thank you so much! We worked hard for years to be in a position where we are now 🙂
Thanx for the Warning. I love to play portable Amateur Radio Outdoors at remote Places of Mother Nature. In most Cases Snakes going to see me long before I notice they are around and they going to escape. But you never know what happens...sometimes if you come across a sleeping Snake she gets scared and might strike at you just to protect herself. Always have an Eye open where you move around and never try to touch or catch one of these Snakes if you not familiar with Species. On europeansides I never had an Issues with venomous Snakes but in SoCali I got bitten twice by a Rattlesnakes. So be careful - Life can be over very fast.
Thanks for your fantastic Job & happy Weekend. Greetings from southwest Germany. Uncle Günter waving a Hand into Croatia 💯🙋♂
Thank you for watching, great that you love our film and greetings to Germany!
Hi guys! You should come to mountine Velebit in Croatia and you would see thousends off nosehorned vipers and there is one more venomeus snake called mountine yellow circle but it lives on higher altitudes of Velebit and it is pretty rare. Anyway nice video. Regards from Croatia.
Maybe next time! Thanks for watching! 🙂
yep, vipera ursinii saw it only once
really happy for you :) really beautifull pics and video, europeans snakes are the best ^^
Thank you very much! Great that you love our film! 🙂
I thought Living Zoology's logo was the Cantil? Congratulations doctor! 🎉🥳
It has always been the Nose-horned viper! 🙂Thank you! 🙏
Wow - amazing 80 minutes 😮👍.
Thanks! Hopefully you enjoyed watching!
Great to see! Have been at the exact same spots few times..once we found down at the lake a large ammodytes..was surprised..didnt expect it in that habitat. What time of the year was your trip??
Thanks for watching! We were there during the spring, April/May 🙂
Bean Honor to see this.
We hope that you will love it!
Always Enjoy
Excellent documentary. The only thing I would challenge is that the western whip snake can only be found in Croatia on the Balkan. We definitely have them in Macedonia as well (or something extremely similar)
Thanks for watching! The Western whip snake is indeed not native to any other country on Balkan peninsula except Croatia. We know about one introduced population on some Greek island.
सर आप बहुत अच्छी वीडियो बनाते हैं
Thanks for watching!
Beatiful
Thank you!
I am waiting ❤
We hope that you will love it!
Hi there! awsome work, you must come to Colombia I can host you in Boyaca and Guainia. Cheers!
Hello! We want to come to Colombia in the future and make a film about searching for the Green anaconda!
I have found my next holiday spot 🎯🐍
We can highly recommend it! 🙂
zdravím ammodytes vše odchované od 82 roku ale situlu jsem ještě v lidské péči neměl díky s pozdravem petr
Děkujeme za sledování videa a ať se daří.
Beautiful landscapes, i used to think there was no snakes in europe, and the lizard one got me surprised
Thank you for watching!
Thanks great film. I too thinks it great to release a snake in the exact spot where you find it, when possible of course. Is it true that in the right conditions a Balkan whip snake can reach over 2 meters in length?.
Thank you! Yes, absolutely! It is important to release snakes back to their home range. An exceptionally large Balkan whip snake can have about 130 cm!
May i ask which island you found the adult snakes? Looking for my next herping trip and i'd like to spot vipera ammodytes
They were not on the island, on the mainland.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you!
ale teda krásný sameček co výpravu na ostrov vedle kde růzkatice jsou cele černé u nás morpha
Na kterém ostrově jsou celé černé??? 😮
❤❤❤
Thank you! ❤️
❤❤
We hope that you will love it!
Hey 👋
Hello!
When are you coming back to film Vipera ursinii macrops?😜
Not sure! We unfortunately don’t know any location where to find this species 😀
@@LivingZoology Velebit Mountain above 1000m :)
@@antheonthegreat1530 Nice, thanks for advice!
On trail for enlightenments to discover & teach about interesting snakes 🐍
Great that you love our new film! :)
since you were here you could have tried for the three pointer and find all three venomous species living here in Croatia.
But, tbh, vipera ursinii is super hard to find, I saw it only once
Maybe next time!
Welcome in India sir and Madam 🌹💐🙏
Thank you very much 🇮🇳🙏
@@LivingZoology 💐🙏🙏.... Respected sir and Madam...you are in India so please don't forget to meet snake 🐍 saver Murlivala Hosla from Uttarpradesh 💐💐🙏🙏
jinak ja blavory asi v 82 odchoval a měl inkubátor co dum dal ale z 12 vajec 12 nz a měli chvíli 3 oko
Díky za info!
Tak to bych typnul na vysavač osmaglý u nás o 30 cm menší orchidej
Tyhle orchideje byly obrovské!
are they all venomous?
Watch carefully and you will learn which species is venomous.
ceske titulky by byly fajn😀
Omlouváme se, většina našich diváků je ze světa :)
@@LivingZoology Hey, usually you should be able to activate ALL languages for subtitles after you've uploaded a video. There's a dropdown menue in your YT-studio section. You just have to activate all languages and then all users are able to watch that video with subtitles in their preferred language.
Jinak i krom jedačů a pavouk štír mě něco kouslo bodlo ale kousnutí od cca 130 cm blavora kde jsem držel myš za ocas kousnul mě nejhorší bolest a držel jak zakousnuty korovec.
Blavoři mají silný stisk, pravda.
u mě v lidské péči ma ammodytes jediný stres když ji jako nz musím krmit
Díky za sledování!
With out snake bait...no need study snake
Thanks for watching!
ALL SNAKES MUST DIE!
Why do you think so? Snakes have their role in nature!
@LivingZoology look up how many snake bites kill people worldwide,and then get back with me!
May rats infest your house, heybob680!

Thank you!
