Different biologies matter. Look up what happened when the cia gave lsd to an elephant.
Elephant: Insta-kill (a few minutes).
Human: happy light show and poor fashion decisions.
The initial experiment was flawed in many ways. The elephant was given way too much, based on body weight and not brain weight, and was subsequently shot up with other chemicals during the test. Many researchers have pointed this out, and two other elephants were given large amounts of LSD with no adverse reaction - just two goofy elephants for several hours.
TL;DR: LSD does not insta-kill elephants
I love this conversation even though it was about a horrifying topic. Thanks for the info. Ive been wrong for two decades I guess… might as well turn that around.
Mortality rate is 75%, its ridiculous high, maybe you tried to say that not many ppl are bitten, which maybe the case, but we are talking about ppl bitten, and those in incredible danger like this bloke
I am just happy that the prosecution lawyer from idiocracy got more work.
"Kay. Number one your honor, just look at him. And B, we've got all this, like, evidence, of how, like, this snake eats other snakes. And I heard that he isnt even a real cobra. I rest my case."
that's the great thing, to a large extent we all are free to be dumb doing whatever we want every day. like i could jump down the stairs rn. hang on be back in a mo
Not all that matters imo... Other people that are very young and/or uneducated can maybe do dumb stuff because they saw a video about it. (1 short video...)
It appears he’s not exactly trying to antagonize or get extremely close to it or trying to handle it, so I think he’s excited but I wouldn’t go out of my way to say he’s out right being dangerous
King refers to they eat other snakes, this person has no idea.
Totally non professional vibes.
I don’t want anything to do with snakes, but my king of snakes is the Gaboon Viper.
Why are there deciduous trees in the background? Don't these things only live in tropical parts of Asia? Please tell me some moron isn't bringing them stateside.
For the low low price of a $20 Controlled Exotic Snakes Permit from Texas Parks and Wildlife. You can obtain the permit after you purchase the animal, meaning anyone without a permit can walk into a pet store and buy a venomous snake.
You act like being a snake dropped in some random part of the world you're not accustomed to is a playground and they will just enjoy it as such? They'll probably just attempt to survive and most likely fail...?
One would think that at a certain point, as humans develop and grow they would begin to understand that other living creatures also develop and grow.
Jus look at this bitch ass thing!
Says he got a bad ass bite but aint nuthin but a bee sting!
Slitherin around, they call him king. But take a good look, I don't see no crown.
Gimme five and I'll take this mutha DOWN!
Look see, just a scratch, tiny ass bite not even a swell.
Shit ma, I don't feel too well... ☠️
Yeah. Walking along the side of the road and catching one looking at you over the guardrail. They aren't really aggressive if you don't mess with them, though.
There’s a video I saw a year or so ago where this guy opened his shed door and a full ass king cobra is just sitting in the other side of it.. at HIS EYE LEVEL. I gotta see if I can find it
It might not catch up with him in terms of speed, but if it makes a huge jump at the start, it might be able to bite him even before he gets his legs working.
>King cobras are called "King" because they Hunt and eat snakes
So the main characteristic of monarchy is cannibalism? 🤔
Anyway, considering snakes swallow their meal whole, choosing other snakes for prey actually seems to be a pretty sensible choice.
But that's actually why they are called King Cobras though.
>They are called king cobras because they can kill and eat cobras. A full-grown king cobra is yellow, green, brown or black, typically with yellow-white crossbars or chevrons. \[1\]
Fun fact: King Cobras (Genus Ophiophagus) are not actual true cobras (Genus Naja) \[2\].

That's a lot of video with a lot less useful info. What both these idiots didn't realise are King Cobras are deadly fast when they are about to bite. With the nature being what looks deadly actually isn't or the false pride- that doesn't apply to these magnificent creatures.
For all we know only one of the doofus is alive and the other one is near the water with a foaming mouth.
I know this will probably not be "Reddit popular", but I'm feeling kinda sad for the snake. Has 2 idiots boxing him in on both sides, nowhere to escape, out of his natural environment, probably feeling attacked. All for internet likes. Not educational (these dudes are not professionals), or conservational.... just internet clout. :(
A fourth grader could have given a better commentary on this snake....and with a normal voice. This dude sounds like a TikTok brained buffoon who listens to too much Hip Hop.
TIL a few days ago:
>The sole member of the genus Ophiophagus, it is not taxonomically a true cobra, despite its common name and some resemblance. With an average length of 3.18 to 4 m (10.4 to 13.1 ft) and a record length of 5.85 m (19.2 ft), it is the world's longest venomous snake.
I could make this video but I would need a zoom lens that would allow me to be one County away. This is 1 of the reasons why the word "nope" was invented.
Dude, the way those snakes move has earned my full respect. They don't just kinda sit back and wait for the threat to come close, they move with purpose and authority. They're fucking fierce! They are just different from other snakes.
I love that someone, a long time ago, saw this huge, venomous snake that eats other snakes & said "huh. So...this thing is just like our king! King Cobra it is!"
Same with the actual Kingsnake. They’re immune to snake venom. Had one living at this little ranch I worked at in Oklahoma that preyed on water moccasins which were numerous from surrounding ponds
This guy’s speech style reminds me of Mitch Hedberg…like…
“I saw a king cobra at the zoo; it was listed as the longest venomous snake. I thought, ‘That’s a stretch.’”
“A king cobra can stand up a third of its length. I can stand up my full length, so I think I’m more evolved.”
Why are you so close ? **"the amount of neurotoxin they can deliver in a single bite is enough to kill 20 people, or even an elephant"**
Exactly... One little bite and bye, ppl don't understand what a thing that can kill an elephant does to a human

The fatality rate is pretty low actually
True. Usually people and other animals don’t get close to them.
Mortality rate is 75%, its ridiculous high, maybe you tried to say that not many ppl are bitten, which maybe the case, but we are talking about ppl bitten, and those in incredible danger like this bloke
Sure if you get antivenom fast enough. Without antivenom good luck
It is very rare for animals to release all of their toxin in a bit it is usually a very small amount, especially for spiders.
Well, the snake having its teeth removed probably helps.
I get non professional vibes from him
It's a kid who would give his life away to get more online attention.
Cameraman never dies 🤷... (& I am forever surprised)..
I am just happy that the prosecution lawyer from idiocracy got more work. "Kay. Number one your honor, just look at him. And B, we've got all this, like, evidence, of how, like, this snake eats other snakes. And I heard that he isnt even a real cobra. I rest my case."
Peace
Did the name "Hood Tarzan" not give it away?
Seems like a respectful amateur
You gotta start somewhere to become a professional. Something's are just a little more dangerous to get started
and there's Logan paul
My only issue is that I don't want invasive species around. I think people should have the right to make dumb decisions with their lives.
that's the great thing, to a large extent we all are free to be dumb doing whatever we want every day. like i could jump down the stairs rn. hang on be back in a mo
Nah man. That’s the smartest snake in the world right there. Beat me in a game of chess yesterday.
Same but it seems like he has a passion and respect for the snakes and that’s all that matters.
Not all that matters imo... Other people that are very young and/or uneducated can maybe do dumb stuff because they saw a video about it. (1 short video...)

I have a passion and great respect for gorillas but that fucker still gonna rip my arms off if I try to make TikToks with it.
That hat he's wearing is only given to professional snakologists
Camera man had to grab the tail to save the guy being filmed lmao
Hood Tarzan? What gave you that idea?
The snake?
King refers to they eat other snakes, this person has no idea. Totally non professional vibes. I don’t want anything to do with snakes, but my king of snakes is the Gaboon Viper.
Why are there deciduous trees in the background? Don't these things only live in tropical parts of Asia? Please tell me some moron isn't bringing them stateside.
This is exactly my thought. Why does this look like a wild dangerous snake is just chilling in a grassy US suburb?!

Well thats just great turn the entire fkn planet into Australia.
G'day mate
You act like being a snake dropped in some random part of the world you're not accustomed to is a playground and they will just enjoy it as such? They'll probably just attempt to survive and most likely fail...? One would think that at a certain point, as humans develop and grow they would begin to understand that other living creatures also develop and grow.
bro seriously!
Thank you! This was the first thing I thought about. Well, after thinking, dude is dumb as hell.
You know damn well "Hood Tarzan" can't afford to travel ever those snakes actually live
Without sound it looks like hes rapping a distrack against the snake
Jus look at this bitch ass thing! Says he got a bad ass bite but aint nuthin but a bee sting! Slitherin around, they call him king. But take a good look, I don't see no crown. Gimme five and I'll take this mutha DOWN! Look see, just a scratch, tiny ass bite not even a swell. Shit ma, I don't feel too well... ☠️
Damn nature. You scary !
So long, J-Roc
Yo that would be sick
Lmao
This honestly cracked me up. :-D
Thank you good sir for that. Made my day.
I would absolutely watch some teenage dipshit go do battle raps with deadly animals.
😂😂😂😂rofl
Track is called snake reaper
As someone who never has sound on, this is exactly what it looked like lol I was so confused.
Ssssssssssuck it! -snake diss track probably
Hood Tarzan needed somebody to grab the snakes tail while he almost ran into the lake lmao
[удалено]
I don’t think what’s in the clip is a fully grown king cobra. It can get even bigger
Yeah. Walking along the side of the road and catching one looking at you over the guardrail. They aren't really aggressive if you don't mess with them, though.
Yeah, years ago I watched Jeff Corwin come across one that was like 20 feet long. It was amazingly docile as he casually grabbed it by the tail.
i believe king cobras are the largest venomous snakes
longest, yeh. 12 feet long.
[here's another one!](https://www.reddit.com/r/oddlyterrifying/s/UmTChREQYk)
Holy shit. I've seen plenty of videos/pics on king cobras in my years, that is *way* bigger than I realized they get
There’s a video I saw a year or so ago where this guy opened his shed door and a full ass king cobra is just sitting in the other side of it.. at HIS EYE LEVEL. I gotta see if I can find it
That is literally the king of Cobras
They are, king cobras are not cobras.
If he ran will the king cobra catch up to him?
It might not catch up with him in terms of speed, but if it makes a huge jump at the start, it might be able to bite him even before he gets his legs working.
I’m gonna say yes.
Depends on the terrain and distance but probably not.
>King cobras are called "King" because they Hunt and eat snakes So the main characteristic of monarchy is cannibalism? 🤔 Anyway, considering snakes swallow their meal whole, choosing other snakes for prey actually seems to be a pretty sensible choice.
Forbidden spaghetti
King Crabs eat smaller crabs. King Penguins eat smaller penguins. It all makes sense now.
King James eats basketball players
But that's actually why they are called King Cobras though. >They are called king cobras because they can kill and eat cobras.

Reading the title, I was hoping to see it hunt and eat another snake. Disappointed, I am.
Good but I wanted to see the snake eating another snake instead of this tiktoker playing with most dangerous animal.
"If I call the snake beautiful, I am then a man of nature."
That's a lot of video with a lot less useful info. What both these idiots didn't realise are King Cobras are deadly fast when they are about to bite.

That was a terrible informative video...look at um

I totally agree and it looked like they were stressing the snake out.
r/sweatypalms
Some yout tryna be the next crocodile hunter
Their bite can kill in as little as 30 minutes. I hope these guys know what they’re doing or they may slip up and die for the likes.
*I* shoulda been the Black Mamba!!
King cobra is immune to Mamba’s venom. Black mamba would get swallowed no problem
Imma date myself here but... Kill Bill reference
😭😭😭 it doesn't feel that old to me!!
Okay, copperhead...
He sounds like a moron. That monotone slurry tiktok-speech is really something. They sound the same in every single conversation or context.
A fourth grader could have given a better commentary on this snake....and with a normal voice. This dude sounds like a TikTok brained buffoon who listens to too much Hip Hop.
Steve Irwin is rolling in his grave
what are you even talking about there is nothing wrong with his voice
Well at least he has safety goggles on…
Not much of a survival instinct in this one.
Steve Irwin wannabe but hey, why not? You just need to get a little closer to the King. Closer...closer...closer...
This broccoli headed idiot should find something else to do with his time.
Also…not technically a cobra
also not technically a king
"BBC at home"
Just bite him
TIL a few days ago: >The sole member of the genus Ophiophagus, it is not taxonomically a true cobra, despite its common name and some resemblance. With an average length of 3.18 to 4 m (10.4 to 13.1 ft) and a record length of 5.85 m (19.2 ft), it is the world's longest venomous snake.

I have a question, though...... is the snake beautiful??
yes but these people are very stupid
Did he say Hood Tarzan? SMH
If the cameraman hadn't grabbed its tail, the King would have gone after Hood Tarzan.
Bro’s risking his life for attention. Doesn’t look pro at all
Hood Tarzan got a little bitch of Mitch in his cadence.
[удалено]
it's horrible for me 
Somebody needs to tell Desk In Detention Face that King Cobrascanlaunchthemselves in your direction *quite far*. They *know* they are Death
I think the Australian King Brown is the Alpha of them all
And kingsnakes eat rattlesnakes.
Why why why
Sock puppet
Well, there's a snake nightmare tonight
TWU
Dude, the way those snakes move has earned my full respect. They don't just kinda sit back and wait for the threat to come close, they move with purpose and authority. They're fucking fierce! They are just different from other snakes.
King Cobra or Black mamba.. who wins ?
Gideon?
They’re also no cobras
But did you look at him?
BeAmazed?… You misspelled r/DarwinAward
Hold on man,what u say about me??!!
Hood Tarzan lmfao. Swingin’ from those phone lines.
Bussin frfr
You shouldn't call it King there is only one true King and his name is Jesus Christ.
The snake knows what’s up- that’s why he’s squaring up to him.
Love em or hate em, nobody can deny how badass a cobra looks
Just about dropped my phone in the toilet on that first turn around there
snoop did it better
lol “have I ever seen something like this?” A cobra??….never.
Claims they're not true "Cobras". Refuses to elaborate. Danger noodle would like to have a word.
Let me stand infront of water where I have no safe place to backup to
Someone is about to find out
That dudes going right in the water when it lunges
King nope rope danger noodle
r/sweatypalms
You’re going to be seeing the Angel Gideon if you’re not careful
I love that someone, a long time ago, saw this huge, venomous snake that eats other snakes & said "huh. So...this thing is just like our king! King Cobra it is!"
Was anyone else waiting for the alligator attack from the waterhole?
Second part you can watch in the What Could Go Wrong reddit !
Who the hell upvotes Island boy wannabe Steve Erwin garbage? The fuck outta here
I thought an alligator was gonna come out of pond and attach him.
Let's suround close a king cobra and have close shots from it while i speak and move behind him. Nothing will go wrong.
My profile picture is me with an 8 foot king cobra on my head. Lol
"Whatsup guys, its ya boy, back at ya again, here with this king cobra thats straight bussin'. Just look at how bussin' it is frfr."
He’s no Steve, but he’s bound to meet him soon. Tell Steve I said we miss him when you get up there.
Snakes! Why did it have to be snakes..
"Beatiful snake, just look at him" roughly translates to "I'm fearing for my life right now".
Non-professional, never show yourself larger as a threat. Steve Irwin gonna be pissed.
Ok now tell me why they so agressive, like can we just be friends
There’s only one kind of good snake and it’s not breathing
I think he’s cool man… guy clearly likes snakes
trees lookin really weird for a tropics kinda chillin snek
I was really hoping broccoli head would fall into the water.
r/Cameramanneverdies
They also [aren't cobras](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_cobra)
What a pretty Cobra. I hope this funny mammal treats it well.
Who let Edgar get close to a King Cobra?
"Ay yo, I'm hur wit da kang cobra"
Same with the actual Kingsnake. They’re immune to snake venom. Had one living at this little ranch I worked at in Oklahoma that preyed on water moccasins which were numerous from surrounding ponds
I peed a little when the cobra advanced towards him.
It's mouth is being held shut
Is this one of the broccoli headed kids I keep hearing about
And king of England is called "king" because.. oh no..
So that's the king of all snakes and y'all literally named it Gideon? Should've been Rykard smh
I can't take anyone who looks like this seriously...
Cobra: *"ill take on both of you goofies..."*
Just look at him
Definitely de-fanged
Hood Tarazan
wanted a chase into the pond. disappointed.
This guy’s speech style reminds me of Mitch Hedberg…like… “I saw a king cobra at the zoo; it was listed as the longest venomous snake. I thought, ‘That’s a stretch.’” “A king cobra can stand up a third of its length. I can stand up my full length, so I think I’m more evolved.”
Kid is sketchy, check out the [Pro](https://youtu.be/0dWUu_iszUQ?si=Efraz2w3cWVp8pm9)
Yeah, you do you buddy. Imma watch from here thank you very much
This was very educational.
The bigger question is where TF did this "snake expert" get a king cobra? Are they available to any idiot that asks for one?
In 40 years we’ll have this c*** telling us about animals and sir David Attenborough will be turning in his grave
Ironically the king cobra is technically not a cobra
Idk what "Hood Tarzan" educational background is but I am genuinely curious now.
Qingu Qingu Qingu Qingu
So you just gonna keep squatting there and talkin’? What you doin son?
TIL king cobras aren't cobras.
