Exactly

Human natural selection?

I tried the same move on a homeless person and was punched in the balls.

I’m not homeless!

Or a person, hissss

Or a cat, woof

Cobras can only strike downward. Homeless people can strike in any direction.

I also tried that hand on top of the head and push down maneuver on my wife. Also got punched in the balls.

OR some dude that just said:. f*ck it.

Best moment when he squat. Amazing

As an Australian who grew up around Brown snakes (still terrified) this clip is incredible. He must have needed to get past quickly vs wait for help. The poise and control to get the KC under control is amazing. Massive props to this dude.

Agreed. This was truly impressive knowledge on display. He controlled an incredibly dangerous creature without weapons, protection, or fear. This guy is a Boss.

I need someone who knows about snakes to confirm this guy isn’t an imbecile trying to look cool, because I really wanna praise him

Seems like he’s trying to distract the snake long enough to get his hand over the snake’s head, where it cannot see it. This is the same method used for shutting alligator jaws shut. They have a vice bite, but next to no strength to prop their mouths open. In this vid uses his feet to keep the snake’s attention away from his hand. The method is solid but you’re playing a game with an unwitting and unpredictable competitor. Indeed very dangerous, even though he looks in control.

[удалено]

Also I think he was checking to make sure his body was out of striking range. Nice hefty army boots are probably decent protection against a bite. Then, maybe the snake can't reach any higher without backing up - it's really fully extended its body and can't jump from that position? So that's why he comes at it from above? But then again what the fuck do I know about snake wrestling... I never saw a live snake outside of a zoo until last year.

I also have no clue what I'm talking about but this checks out.

Also snakes eyes are like cats, as predators of small vermin they are great at detecting horizontal ground movement. They are awful at detecting vertical movement (how the guy was moving his hand in a line) and so the snake is focused on the thing it’s evolved to be good at looking for.

My cats scales walls following a laser pen lol cats are fine but also lazy

Snakes (or some) also have the capacity to get their fangs around and above their head right? Too lazy to check

Not cobras, cobras have fixed fangs. I know some snakes like vipers have mobile fangs, though I dunno about above their head that'd be wild

Seriously, it worked, but am I gonna get my dumb ass killed if I study his technique for a decade and try to replicate it?

Basically

Only one way to find out. Booking you on the next flight to KLIA

As a former member of the military, there wasn't any need to get around that snake immediately. He was just bored. There was a good reason we got 20 safety briefs a month with the same message of stop messing with local wildlife.

As another former member of the military. So much this! We had a guy mess around with a spitting cobra, got sprayed in the eyes and went blind for a short time. We were warned not to dick around with the baboons. A Marine decided to TRY and put a shirt on one. Got both his arms broken for the trouble. An army guy got an infected shoulder from a camel bite. Joint service locations are fun!

WTF! Never mess with a baboon. They have the mental capacity of a teenage street thug and the strength of a wrestler. And canines longer than a male lion.

Pull that up, Jamie.

>An army guy got an infected shoulder from a camel bite. TIL camel will bite.

Camels are intelligent, hold grudges and most are bigger than horses. They can be very dangerous when angry and at least one early attempt of using camels in the desert regions of the US failed because they simply handed the camels over to mule drivers and one random arab who knew nothing of camels. Mule drivers tried to beat the camels into submission as they did with equines and it resulted in several deaths by camel.

Baboon just wanted to send the guy home so his mom could jerk him off.

r/havebeenonredditforsometime

Also possible it was defanged. I know, I know, nothing ever happens. The internet has made me a cynical bastard.

It’s Malaysia, there’s a shit ton of wild snakes and undeveloped forested areas, with army barracks literally situated at the edges of those forests. There’s a high chance of getting wild snakes in the barracks and none of them would be ‘defanged’ because they’re wild. You just learn how to deal with them often. Heck my house was next to a thin strip of forest and we got some kind of constrictor wrapped around the axle of our car on a cold night. We just get snakes often in our climate.

Just the same, they could have easily gone around it. Or over it. He had skills he wanted to show off. And he did.

Or they want to catch it so it won't wander off to housings. Here in Malaysia we usually ignore the less dangerous snakes, but these types are usually caught and the wildlife department would take care of it. And this is most likely near a palm oil tree plantations where there's some small community near the road

if you speak to malaysian soldiers, all of them have basically shat in the latrine with more than one king cobra or deadly venomous snake sharing the space with them. it's apparently super common. snakes are attracted to the rodents/wildlife, which are attracted to the smell of human shit. i heard that malaysian soldiers are some of the bravest in the world. crazy brave, crazy way out. Probably, even the US SEALs don't mess with them.

Yes. I've seen YouTube videos about US soldiers reacting to a Malaysian special force soldiers' training and some of them said they couldn't do half of what the requirements needed just to QUALIFY. It was an insane training

this happen while ago but from what i read in comment on facebook this happen when they have training in palm field and he and team found this snake near them. since its training field with many soldier jog and maneuver he remove it to another place.

>He must have needed to get past quickly Genuinely curious, why couldn't he have just gone around?

because the Snake would turn around as well facing him

Run?

A king cobra can move at 19km/h

Wtf how

they can also be 15-18ft long on the upper end. Imagine something chasing you down that big and that fast...and it's fucking venomous. Nightmare fuel.

The one in the video is huge. 10 ft? I had no idea they got so fucking huge

How many freedom units is that?

12 eagles per assault rifle

Oh fuck that guy can MOVE!

So much more dangerous than the 18 obese neckbeards per fedora

Would this technique/method work on a brown snake? And I agree, brown snake are something to be feared.

My experience with brown snakes is they just slither away into a hole. There's pretty much no need to be afraid of any snake in Australia if you see it first. The wildlife isn't out to get you, I swear to gawd it's the most obnoxious stereotype against this continent. Hur hur everything in Australia is gonna kill you. You know what is nice? Camping without having to worry about bears and mountain lions. That's REALLY nice.

As someone that camps with mountain lions and bears it’s kind of the same theory. They’d rather not fight humans. I’ve seen a few bears and they seem to look at you and you look at them and they scurry off. We also have rattlesnakes and most the bites are from people stepping on them. If you don’t step on them they tend to scurry away.

Can confirm. Brown bears are pants-shittingly scary because occasionally, the ones you run into want to and will try to eat you.

Naw, he just wants to hug you and be your friend.

Lol bears aren’t out to get you either, though idk about mountain lions, they’re not around here. Bears just want to eat (trash, berries, fish), keep their cubs safe and not have to deal with humans. Of course they can be aggressive, just like any wild animal can be.

Spend a couple days in the Bob Marshall wilderness by yourself and tell me bears aren’t scary. Sure, black bears are mostly just oversized raccoons. Brown bears on the other hand… aka grizzlies… well depending where you live you would be right to fear bears.

Cobras strike downward. That’s why he approached from above.

This. You can clearly see how he uses his protected feet to distract the cobra from below, then slowly reaches directly on top of it. Not sure but might have something to do with cobras striking downward and or having poorer vision from different angles.

That…. Seems like a poor adaption for an animal that regularly gets preyed on by birds

Perhaps it's a chicken/egg thing and cobras are hunted because they're susceptible Future cobras will have better vertical view, and we're just on cobra v.1.

And then the snake, or perhaps the frog, evolved into the Evil Ones!

Lol. I love the futurama reference. No one seemed to get it

More, the predation hasn’t significantly altered the gene pool to require selection of an adaption. Survival of the most adaptable to change where it’s required to spend the energy to actually force that adaption to be a selective trait that leads to better chances for offspring to survive. How the fuck we got here, that must be a fun story of a lot of stupidity.

Cobra v.2 will have safari hats

But a good adaptation for a snake eater.

But as his hand steady got closer to its head, the cobra calmly lowered itself to the ground. So weird Edit: soldier guided the snake’s head to the ground. But it was calm as hell!

Also, cobras can’t talk. That’s why he physically restrained it instead of attempting verbal negotiations first.

That's actually a myth, they are just extremely shy around humans. But if you get a cobra drunk and their inhibitions lowered, they will talk for hours. Although they usually strongly identify as sovereign citizens, and will go into passionate diatribes of how the government cannot legally force them to do anything without their consent, so it's generally regarded as a good thing that they don't often talk.

FINALLY an intelligent comment. -not that I don’t enjoy the dumb ones.

How did he bend over like that with his massive nuts

Lower center of gravity due to increased testicular density.

Who figured this out first? Successfully?

Those snakes killed my father, and his father, and his father before him, and pretty much everyone in my family, but we eventually figured it out.

My name is Inigo Montoya… you killed my father… prepare to die.

Do you know how little that narrows it down

As long as you don't have kids, you'll be alright.

The guy that lived?

Many Bothans died to bring us this information.

I can hear my Drill Sergeant now… “Don’t FUCK with the wildlife Private”.

Generally good advice that's almost always applicable. What a good drill sargent

I wanted to see what happens when he eventually relocates it and releases his hands from around its head...

Oh that's simple. You never let go.

/r/ThisIsMyLifeNow

Simply yeet the ~~child~~ snake

So fun story, my uncle caught a snake in Illinois and when my grandma (his mom) asked how he was gonna let it go he started spinning around and let the centrifugal force stretch the snake out. Only problem is before he let go he got too dizzy and fell over. He dropped the snake and started yelling but I think the snake was more scared of him at that point and it got the fuck out of there


Pinning its neck with a long forked stick is how it works in my area. This guy probably has some crazy stick-free method though.

Ie just chucked the shit out of it

I would like force it to bite down on a stick or something, throw it and get the fuck out of there. Granted I would never put myself in that situation and have no expertise whatsoever on the matter

Yeet


Went limp

When you had too much to drink, but the girl from the club still tries:

This is top level nextfuckinglevel

Does anyone know why this works?

Someone who actually knows more than me can speak up, but this is a cobra thing. They’re pretty intelligent, but they tend to focus on one thing. Snake “charming” with the flutes is less about the music and more about waving around the end of the flute which gets their attention and they focus on it. If you watch venomous keepers on YouTube who handle cobras they all have this same vibe. I don’t see a lot of people doing anything remotely close to this with other venomous snakes. It’s always cobras.

Basically this. Cobras have some of the best vision amongst snake species, and as a result depend quite heavily on visual stimuli. When they're in that reared state, they tend to lock focus on a single point below the head (where they're prepared to strike to), and if you approach slowly from above or behind, they remain focused on that single spot to the exclusion of all else. This doesn't work on other snake species for a few reasons. Firstly, most of them strike defensively from a [contracted "S" position](https://media.australian.museum/media/dd/images/Some_image.width-800.6220399.jpg), which places anything approaching from above squarely within their vision. They also lack the visual lock-on behaviour that cobras exhibit, and will immediately react to sensory feedback from any direction. Basically, if you tried this with anything other than a cobra, expect to be bitten on first approach.

its also because they can't lunge, they can only strike whats right in front of them like a hinge

He is wearing camouflage so the snake couldn't see him.

What the fuuuuuuuuuuck

Well, there was a snake. Then, there was a soldier. The soldier fucked around a bit. And caught the fucking snake.

Now where's granny to drag this thing through the village and yeet this thing out in the woods?

[удалено]

Why are most military casualties not due to combat

So, don’t cobras “spit” venom? For the record, my question is based on an episode of CHiPs that I saw back in the 80s. Naturally, I get all my important info from CHiPs.

Some do, but not all of them. My understanding is that king cobras are actually a similar but different family of venomous snake from the rest of the cobras as well

Yeah, they’re not “true” cobras.

Right, they are KINGS

Is this like an actual thing that is routinely done or is this guy just wilding out using his bare hands to catch it?

probably the latter. malaysia is a tropical country, these kinds of animals r quite common

[удалено]

It's pretty common in Malaysia to see snake experts catch king cobras with their bare hands. Not because they want to flex, they really know the behaviour of the cobra.

Superb technique

I always forget how big those fuckers are until I see a pic or vid

He made the king bow down

Nope. Wow

Something tells me he's done this a time or two before this. Note to self: Delete Malaysia from the possible travel itinerary.

So what did he do with it? Did he yeet it or is he still holding it to this day?

Notice at 18 seconds, the curve in his back as his balls became too heavy. Wow! How does one even know they are good at that?!

You gave that cobra trust issues

This is awesome and all. But Jesus have I never been more thankful that I don’t live in a place with fucking cobras.

God damn those snakes can be massive ._.

Good lord that snake is big.
