Deadly venomous Cape cobra (Naja nivea) is a common snake species in the Southwestern part of Africa. Cape cobras are very variable in color, they can be black, brown, reddish or yellow. Cape cobras live in dry arid habitats of South Africa, Namibia and Botswana. These venomous snakes often come close to humans and snakebites are quite common. In this video you will see a snake rescue call with a Cape cobra stuck in the house. Also, you will see a bright yellow Cape cobra meeting with meerkats (a species of mongoose) and another Cape cobra meeting with a flock of birds.
I have had my cobra 30+ years. It has scared a few but never bit. It is a tattoo on my left arm. Best videos, period
Thanks for watching! Great that you have a cobra for such a long time! ;)
It's nice youve been able to keep them alive so long im going to keep non venomous snakes but im not brave enough to keep the venomous ones.
I still love looking at them though such neat animals
I've been subscribed for a long time now and I still don't understand how you don't have more subscribers. The cinematography is top notch and you seem to have a real passion for your work. I'm hoping this channel gets the recommendation it deserves in 2021.
Thank you very much for following our work for a long time :) We are trying to do our work as good as we can and maybe more followers will come in the future ;) We recently started membership program and we already have 10 members!
Really, you don't know why? People still hate these animals. For proof you need only look as far as the videos of them being killed or otherwise abused. Plus, anything truly educational won't generally get the number of views that titillation does. Perhaps the only things that people will will admit to liking about them are their skins and watching them eat.

I think itâs because thereâs no narration
@@jeffking6286 their newer videos do have narration, personally i don't mind reading subtext but i see your point, that could be a deal breaker for some people.
I like those videos because there is no speak . Nature noises + text = The perfect choice !
Thank you very much, we are happy that you like this choice!
Stunning!!! I was completely mesmerized!!! beautifully shot!! Thank you all for sharing these Nature moments.
Thank you so much for watching!!! We are happy that you like this video! Check out also the others on our channel!
@@LivingZoology for sure!! I subbed!!đ
That Cape cobra is stunning
We agree!
I love the Cape Cobra. đ I love itâs colors.đ I love the Orange. đ I couldâve swore I had a comment somewhere on this upload.đ€
Thank you for watching! Cape cobras are awesome snakes, so elegant and variable in color!
One of the prettiest snakes!
Yes, these cobras are so variable in color! You will see 4 colors in the video!
Was really looking forward to this one. Probably my all time favourite cobra. Great video!
Thank you so much!!! :) We are very happy that this video about your favorite cobra did not disappoint!
Absolutely fantastic content in this video. The beauty of that yellow Cape cobra is stunning, and yet itâs venom is so toxic! Also love the exotic copper coloured variety!
Would love to see a battle between an adult Cape cobra and a fully grown mongoose!
Thanks for the awesome video, amazing camera work!!
Thank you very much for watching and we are happy that you enjoyed it!
God bless you all for the generosity and immense patience to help that poor fellow
Thanks a lot!
Excellent work and what a gem of a channel. Love every single one of your videos
Very happy to know that!!! Many thanks!
Iâve never heard of a meerkat killing any snakes. Usually theyâre just trying to run them off. Meerkats are pretty neat animals too. Iâve seen videos where one took a bite from a puff adder and another was bit on the face by a Cobra. After being sick for 2-3 days they both survive. Really amazing for such a tiny animal. They must share some venom resistance with the mongoose. I know they can still die from bites so it must depend on the amount injected. I find it fascinating how animals in the same region evolved together. That yellow cape cobra was beautiful but my favorite snake is the Gaboon. I enjoyed your video on the Hybrid Gaboon, that probably the most beautiful snake Iâve ever seen
Thank you very much for watching!!! Happy that you like our videos and you are finding your favorite species there :)
The Kalahari Cape Cobra's coloring is breathtaking! All the different morphs are beautiful! Your photography and videos are always stunning with perfect, crisp colors! The subject matter you choose is very intriguing and your locations are diverse. I'm certainly looking forward to more wonderful videos from your team! Please stay safe and take good care of yourselves. Your videos are really the best around reporting on the varied zoology in our world.

Thank you very much! We are very happy to hear that you like our channel! :) We are trying to stay safe, but now battling with covid for over a month! Take care and have a great day in Arizona! We loved our trip to the deserts of this state.
Excellent. You have the best drone footage.
Thank you very much!
the most beautiful background music: birds chirping.
feels like i'm in my home town
Thank you! The best music for most scenes is the nature sound! :)
This is what the bush sounds like in safrica
@@hospagalief We love that sound!
I love the video. The Cape cobras are beautiful creatures.

Snakes are so maligned as an animal on land, like sharks are in the ocean.....
To me they are amazing, and my encounters with them are once in Australia, a small brown snake, at a safe distance.
We parted company, and it's still a fond memory from my younger days....
We dont have them here in NZ, thus I enjoy watching wonderful videos like this to see a close encounter with reptiles.....I mean as close that neither the snake or those filming them arent harmed or injured.
Thank you for watching and we are happy that you like this video!
This channel is so underratedđ
Thank you for your support!!!
Love this video and this is one that I kept going back to over and over
That is awesome!!! Thank you so much for that!
Fantastic footage once again. Great images of the rescue it is fantastic to see people who loves so snakes that they take some risks to conserve them. It is a also interesting to do a little observation about evolutive convergence because some patterns of nivea looks really like the pattern of Oxyuranus microlepidotus what lives in comparable dry environment.
Many thanks!! We love to show these interesting snake rescue calls. You are right that Cape cobra might resemble the Inland taipan a bit, we cannot wait to go to Australia and find out by ourselves.
Just beautiful, what an amazing snake.
Thank you very much for watching!
Excellent video!
I also noticed the Tourniquet shirt when they were getting snake out of the fixture. That is one of my old favorite bands. đ€
Thank you very much!!! :) Good spotting, Gerrie is a great Tourniquet fan!
Amazing documentary, i love your videos about snakes! Very good work and pictures! Great!
Thank you very much! It is great that you like our snake videos!
quality videos also very natural ... great footage
Excited for this one
Great, see you on Saturday! :)
Very instructive and somewhat relaxing video. Nice work!
Thank you very much for watching! đ
Beautiful snakes. Especially the Kalahari color morph. Very good rescue
Thank you very much!!! It was interesting to put everything what we have about Cape cobras into one video :)
Another great video! Thanks much!
Glad you enjoyed it!
LOVE YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU FOR ANOTHER GREAT ONE đđ
Thank you so much for watching!! đđ
Another spectacular video! It takes tremendous patience and knowledge about your subject to be able to capture it on video in its natural surroundings, behaving naturally. A joy to watch! Thank you, stay safe, and keep up the excellent work!
Thank you very much! We spend lot of time with observing these animals and filming them :)
They are nice creatures as long as they live in the wild.
Thanks for watching!
Excellent, amazing video!
Thank you very much!
Love watching you're videos very educational
That is great! Thank you!
I talk to a friend sometimes from Montagu in South Africa who i met through snake groups on Facebook, and there he is, Gerrie Heyns. đ He is a fellow Metal head too đ€
They do come in variable colors, cape cobras are really pretty snakes. đ§Ąđ
Haha, that is cool! Gerrie is very friendly guy and we loved to work with him! Yes, he loves metal, he was talking about it a lot! đ
wonderful video, very informative too. photography standards just excellent..thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!

Wonderful video.
Thank you very much!
@@LivingZoology very very wonderful video
great video again , awesome snakes , any chance on a video about Aspidelaps species ? :D
Thank you very much!!! Unfortunately, we did not find Aspidelaps...
Waiting đ
Great! :)
Wonderful video...except...Something new and bad: 3 times the video stopped and I had to click 'Skip Ad' to make it continue. Please stop the excess advertising.
Thank you and apologies for too many ads. It is tricky with ads on CZcams as they appear much less with most people. They appear to each viewer differently according to country and other parameters. On the other hand, we need to keep the ads appear on our videos, otherwise we would need to stop doing this job and do something else.
What an incredible video! What makes it better is that there's no annoying background music.
Thank you very much for watching!!! :)
Im more of a viper guy than elapids but that's a beautiful cobra..great video as usual guys..thanks
Thanks đMany people prefer vipers but elapids are very cool in our opinion :)
Fantastic definition in these videos đ
Glad you like them!
great video as always. matej my fried you never stop amaze me, keep up the good work brother..
thanks and much love from indonesia..
Thank you you very much from me and Zuzana, our whole team :D :D Happy that you enjoy watching our videos! Greetings from the Czech Republic!
Very good video. The subject has been beautifully described. Photography is excellent. Well done. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much for watching!
Thank you some of my question about eating other snakes has been answered. This snake is a beauty.

Lovely najas....
Yes, they are awesome! Thank you!
Them some nice species of cobrađ„
Thank you very much!
that juvenile cobra is obviously an actor. great posing dude. lol
Yes, juveniles tend to pose a lot! They know that they are small so they try to scare the potential predator.
Bom trabalho meninos!!đâ€
Thank you for watching! :)
Adoro seus vĂdeos đđđ
Muchas gracias!!! :)
Such a beautiful color on this snake.
We can only agree!
Waooooo so beautiful place
Thank you very much!
This video is wonderful like other snakes filming by your experienced film group.
Thank you very much!!! Greetings from our film group consisting of Matej and Zuzana! :)
background music just wow!
Thank you! Music provided by nature :)
Good Afternoon great Crew đ
Thank you very much!
Great photography guys
Thanks so much!
Pretty colours. Our Australia n snakes are much more venomous but at least there fangs are small and they don't spit neither
Yes, these cobras are amazingly colorful.
Tyler Mac nice color
Thank you for watching!
Most attractive and active among all cobra species
These are beautiful snakes indeed!
awwwww.. rescued from the claws of death.. or a hole in a box.. either way.. yayyyyy
Thanks for watching!
Pls add voice over to the videos.. this makes more involvement and presents in a great way
What about this one? czcams.com/video/Rq2k4Tzu198/video.html
You found a beautiful specimen
We think so too! But which one do you mean? :D
@@LivingZoology The reddish-orange one with black spots
Good work bro
Thank you so much đ
Such regal ans elegant animal....
Yes, they are very elegant!
Iâve seen many documentaries on this beautiful species, so Iâll be ready to compare this one to the others.
Great, hopefully you will enjoy watching our video!
Why not just watch it for what it is ... :-)
Lovely
Thank you!!!
Suppose the meerkats were not hungry or defending their offspring :-)
Beautiful footage, I may add ....
Thank you for watching!!! It looked like they just did not want to have cobra in their burrow.
Nice nice i always wonder the technique and equipment u use to capture those nice creatures at close scale with out them not noticing.
Thanks đWe work gently and let the snake do its thing in its natural environment. We try to minimize the stressful contact, we work in a small team with small equipment, so we can observe snakes behaving naturally :)
Thank u for the reply
Nice that such a dangerous snake is so visible. In the United States all ours blend into the environment, makes for quite a few accidents if you go walking off the beaten path.
Coral snakes certainly don't blend in the environment in the USA :)
I love snakes and other animals
I wanted to be a zoologist
We also had that dream when we were young :) We went for it and studied zoology. But eventually we ended up with wildlife filming!
Do what you want. Iâm behind both of you 100%.đ€
Why do snakes look like their environment so often? It's crazy, i've seen a speckled rattlesnake which looked exactly like the rocks in the area? The cape cobra looks amazing.
Because they try to stay camouflaged as they have many predators đ
@@LivingZoology Yes, i know the benefits of it but how does that work? I'm from Germany and our Adder doesn't look like their environment in most cases.
@@TheGForceJunkie Just millions of years of evolution. In some species individuals which are better camouflaged survive better. In some, it is beneficial to have bright colors to show predators that they are venomous.
The orange and the yellow cobra are absolutely beautiful animals and that was one luck cobra that those guys were able to rescue by cutting out of that box they got lucky all the way around the snake lucky that they didnt accidentally cut it while cutting the box and the guys luck that they didnt get bitten by the snake
Thank you for watching! Some of these cobras are really beautiful. The rescue was done by a great snake catcher with great experience, so it went well :)
That glass tube they are using to contain the cobra looks strangely familiar....I just can't place where I've seen it before. Maybe an advertisement of some type? Where on Earth have I seen that before?
These snake tubes are from plastic and we guess that something similar is used for many other things.
My favorite Naja Spezies
I keep a lot of them đ
And i must say that your videos are one of my favorite videos when it comes do snakes âïž
Keep up your great Work đ
Greetings Form Austria
And what venomus snakes do you keep? âïž
Thank you very much!!! Greetings from the Czech Republic! Which cobra species do you have? We don't keep any venomous snakes, we would have no time to take care of them as we travel a lot to find wild snakes :)
@@LivingZoology ok,thats great đ
I wisch i have the time and the Money for traveling a lot.
And when you live for that than you have an gread live
I love snakes,venomus more than other because there where much more colourefull as the non venom snakes
And i have i my snake room
Naja naja
Naja nivea
Naja kaouthia
Naja pallida
Naja siamensis
And a lot of other snakes. Zbs. C.atrox

@@camillodorfler432 Wow, cool collection!!! We decided to save money for traveling instead of buying snakes. For about 5 years it was a hobby, now it is a job for one of us :)
@@LivingZoology Thank you!
Yeah,thats Sounds like you live a life what are where great. I will saw e naja in the nature,thats one of my Dreams đ
Love the Spezies of naja and when i have the time and the Money for doing this than i look where i can find wild najas do look how the are live in the nature. I hope that i can make this in the next years đ
âïž
@@LivingZoology and what i Mist say is that the snakes where a lot of work,really a lot
But when you Love this than this is no "work" as when you go do work and make a job what are not yours
Spectacular camera work. Who did it?
We filmed it, same as all videos on our channel :)
Thank you for your channel.
May i ask you what kind of camera you use ?
Thank you.
Thank you for watching videos on our channel. We use mainly Canon GX10.
id like to see a small doc about the inland taipan
We hope to go to Australia in the future.
This cobra is the venomous of most cobras
Yes, this species is one of the most venomous cobras.
The background music is amazing. Can someone please suggest the source of the music. Thanks in advance
Thank you! There is the sound of nature recorded in South Africa in the background.
Wow! Cape cobras are awesome, but how big are cape cobras grows in terms of size??.
Naja nivea grows maximum size 1,6 /1,8m
My nivea is 8 years and is 1,49cm
Its a beautyful snake âïž
Maximum length is about 1.8 meters.
@@LivingZoology That is quite long snakes leading to black mamba I guess which grows up to 2.3 meters. Thank you so much.
@@camillodorfler432 Wow, that is amazing, thank you.
@@alfazoologist9741 Naja melanoleuca is considerably longer than nivea (this is the second longest cobra of all).
I wanted to ask are the backgrounds sounds added or are they true to the locality?
They are recorded at one of the localities where we filmed cobras.
I heard that this snake was more dangerous than the Black Mamba when it came to venomous snakes in Africa
That is true! It comes to human houses much more often and bites more people.
@@LivingZoology But in the hobby of keeping venomus snakes i say from the Handling its a naja Nivea much more relaxed as a Dendroaspis polylepis
âïž
@@camillodorfler432 Yes, for manipulation, Cape cobra is easier than mamba.
@@LivingZoology yes of curse
A Mamba bite you all day long đ
@@LivingZoology a black Mamba
The other mambas are much more relaxed as the black one
Am scared of snakes and don't like But they are beautiful â€ïž
Great that you think that snakes are beautiful! :) Thanks for watching this video!
Make a video on cape cobra hunting
Maybe we will be lucky to witness that in the future.
Proof that yinz are the Best.
Thank you very much!!!
To keep a snake in a glas box is wrong. That is super max for snakes.
Which glass box do you mean??? There was nothing like that during the rescue.
@@LivingZoology no box ,
Just that people who have snakes i their homes, like a
pet. Thats wrong.
@@ebe7840 Yes and no. The image of snakes is slowly canning and it is partially because of these snakes lovers. if you do that for sensationalism it is not good (some people have venomous snakes only for adrenalin "hooo it kills me easily, it's fun"). If you do that to understand better and to educate the people to explain why these animals have the right to live it is a good thing. Snakes are not pet as cat and dogs, but captive born snakes could be ambassador for their group. A lot of important discoveries have been make by amateurs herpetologist especially for mating.

Cape cobra, black mamba, puff adder... these snakes exist in Africa. Then, which IS the most venomous snake in Africa? Or another species such as Egyptian cobra?
It is always tricky to say which snake is the most venomous. But Black mamba or Cape cobra are high on the list. Actually, drop to drop, Boomslang is considered as the most toxic in Africa: czcams.com/video/cP5kqH_N0u8/video.html
