Being the first to see something is only one of the many definitions of “discover”. It can also mean “perceive the attractions of (an activity or subject) for the first time.”, “find (something or someone) unexpectedly or in the course of a search.” Or “become aware of (a fact or situation).” The western world did not know about this species until that account. So their knowledge, their own personal discovery, came from him, and not your great great grandfathers. Think of it like this: if I said “the Incan Tribe discovered the existence of Europeans upon first contact with the European colonizers”, am I saying that the entire human population did not know about Europeans until that contact…?

Actually, they can, as there is more than one definition for the word “discover”. Another meaning can be to simply witness something for the first time, rather than to be the first in world… It’s not a colonizer narrative, its just that European knowledge of the creature, (and maybe the very name we call it) came from this man, and not the tribes. For example, if you discover a Netflix series that you really like, that does not have to mean that you were the first human on the planet to learn about its existence…

What an amazing and interesting video. I’ve never even heard of this kind of bird before… 👍🏾!

We only have one venomous snake in Sweden , The Viper. It is quite harmless if you do not disturb it. I have nearly run over a number of them this summer with the bike. Mostly small ones, making them male or youngs. A bite is extremely painful, not generally deadly, but extremely painful for a long time, so do not play with them. The foot or hand can swell three times its normal proportions with extreme pain. They are though important to hold down mice and other rodents, so a very valuable animal. In rare cases, people can die from a bite. My to-be wife and a friend of mine, chased a Viper in the long grass. I stepped forward and looked at the snake and yelled: "It is a Viper " They never knew. They would have become painfully bitten without my warning. The tell-tale of a Viper in contrast to a Grass-Snake is thourohgly discussed in Wikipedia.

It can't kill any kind of snakes, his feet would be like a massage on a 6 meters python head
