because youre the only one that remembered that bit of the sektur and the cops moved onto bossmanjack and alogging rekieta
side note apparently a shit ton of indians and asians die from snake bites, but then you see retards online fuck with snakes picking them up by the tail and just generally agitating them and doing basically everything to get bit but relatively rarely do. do indians just proke and prod these snakes en masse or what.
Yeah, they are smart animals. Much like rats, mice, racoons especially (these coons won a war against the Canadian government and broke into banks before), they are very smart but also filthy. Owls are good, they hunt rats and whatnot. Pet owls do tilt their heads and it's like a gimbal stabiliser. Very cute.
On a regular day or night a cobra will avoid being seen by humans, let alone bite. If spotted and feeling threatened, they try to avoid biting and instead use intimidation like opening their hood and raising their body up or squirting some venom in the eyes as it takes time to replenish their full venom supplies. Notable exception is a nesting female. They attack viciously even if you weren't necessarily aware of the nest. I wouldn't be surprised if most attacks came from females during egg season. Though I can also see a good chunk of deaths being kids, idiots, and Hindus who worship snakes handling them. Apparently captive cobras are also more likely to be aggressive towards humans which is likely why street performers defang them but for snakes they're still rather docile. Their potent venom is threatened to be used more than used unless they or their babies are in danger.
Huh, they seem like some of the most chill animals then. It's funny that all these people mishandling snakes to show they're not overly aggressive have actually in a roundabout way proven that point by showing how unfortunate or in their cases dumb you need to be to actually get bitten
Compared to corvids and vultures, owls are dumb as a post, but it's not a bad thing. So much of their head is devoted to housing their eyes and ears that it doesn't leave a whole lot of room left for their brain. They've literally evolved to be such phenomenal hunters that they don't need to be intelligent.
I've heard falconers say that owls are the least intelligent raptor and most raptors aren't particularly intelligent to begin with. But they do have personalities and express themselves etc, they are just kind of poor pets among birds.
Generating venom is much like generating neurotransmitters, in that it's very metabolically expensive. A lot of a venomous snake's body has to go into generating that venom, and they are extremely reluctant to waste it unless doing it guarantees them enough food to replenish their supply.
Even rattling is a defensive measure of near-last resort (second only to biting), as it gives the snake's location away. Rattlesnakes are incredibly well-camouflaged, and if you live in the same area as rattlesnakes then God only knows how many you've walked by and didn't see because they didn't rattle. So hesitant are some snakes to rattle that it has led to an urban myth that they are evolving not to rattle based on humans and wild hogs killing the rattlesnakes they find (seems to have little supporting evidence).
That said they generally resort to it before biting. I've encountered rattlers (usually without even seeing them) on many occasions. Usually they don't even rattle, they just slither away. But if not, they rattle, then you back away slowly. You practically have to step on a rattlesnake before it bites you.
Agreed. Rattlers are pretty docile. Young are dumb and push out too much venom therefore more dangerous.
He better never feed any live animal to a venomous snake again because he should never own another animal again. Is he seriously considering getting another venomous snake?
if I was running any sort of animal foundation or "society" I sure wouldn't want this guy associated with it.
Of course this idiot gets rich off being an idiot. That's the way the world works it seems. Hope they show him in dialysisThis just came up on my fb feed:

I quickly glanced at Leibowitz's fb and couldn't see anything to confirm this, but he's not on my friends list so I'm probably not seeing the full page. But if true:
I like watching those videos of Japanese owl owners letting them swim around in their sinks like minature hot tubs. They're just little orbs that vibe, whatever species they are.
Is it that surprising when a Leibowitz gets a Netflix deal?
