Africa is home to many amazing venomous snakes. This continent has many ecosystems. We will explore deserts, savannas and rainforests of sub-Saharan Africa. The last, third episode is about venomous snakes living in rainforests. We will begin with a scene where the Brown forest cobra (Naja subfulva) encounters chickens near a village. Then we will visit coastal woodlands, which are home to Eastern green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps). Another green mamba species is the beautiful Jameson's mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni). This episode also shows three species of bush vipers. The first one is the Great Lakes bush viper (Atheris nitschei) from mountains of Albertine Rift. Green bush viper, also called Variable bush viper (Atheris squamigera) is the most common bush viper species. The third species is the Rough-scaled bush viper (Atheris hispida), a rare and secretive snake. Later we will show you the Rhinoceros viper (Bitis nasicornis), one of the most beautiful snakes on Earth. A closely related and also deadly venomous snake is the Gaboon viper (Bitis gabonica). You will see a big Gaboon viper hunt and kill two mice! The episode finishes with a scene focused on snake export topic.

I find the mambas to be exquisitely beautiful. Such incredible snakes. And the ground dwelling vipers stunned me with how much they look and move like caterpillars!

We are very proud that we could work with locals in Uganda for several years and show them how to value snakes in another way than just selling them abroad.

Also gaboons are VERY curved while bushmaster for example have almost straight dagger like fangs, which are longer almost allways if we measure in straight line fro the root to the point PPS.
