1-week snake hunting journey in Laos
Today, I am heading to the mountain top in search of a rare viper species. This elusive creature has never crossed my path in the wild before. It is uncertain if any documented encounters exist. Among the fascinating discoveries is a peculiar mushroom variety that remains uncurled, resembling a needle sprayer as it descends from trees. Witnessing its endearing curling behavior is quite captivating. While my fear of heights hinders my movements, my children fearlessly explore the heights. A recent find of a snake and a carrot near a tree sparked intrigue. Engaging in training sessions brings forth a sense of joy and transformation, surrounded by a diverse array of well-protected wildlife. Each visit to Vietnam fuels the desire to learn and explore further. This expedition stands out as a remarkable journey. As I prepare to release the snakes captured for photography, a vehicle awaits to transport us to the 1000m summit, with the rest of the journey to be made on foot. The scheduled pick-up at 11 o'clock for the descent further adds to the adventure. The day's mission involves locating a green snake at Luc Nui, showcasing the region's unique wildlife. An enthusiastic call for assistance in capturing a green whip snake resonates. The audience is mesmerized by the sight of this non-venomous snake species. The biodiversity includes the German Brazilla with distinctive red eyes, contributing to an annual documentation project of around 600 animal species. The vivid descriptions of snake species and their transformations captivate the audience. Amidst the picturesque surroundings, handling and photographing the alluring green snake is a priority. Ensuring the comfort and wellbeing of the captured animals is crucial to maintain the authenticity of their natural state. The journey continues through the forest, capturing the essence of the surroundings and encountering various challenges like unstable wooden bridges. The subsequent exploration near a waterfall promises intriguing sights, despite the apprehension of the heights. The awe-inspiring nature of the landscape beckons further exploration, documenting the flora and fauna with reverence. Each discovery adds to the allure of the expedition, making it a memorable experience.

Israel rains UAVs on military base, Iran calls Israeli weapons 'like child's toys'
On April 20, during an interview with NBC, Iranian Foreign Minister Husen Amira Do Lahan mentioned that Tehran is currently investigating the incident involving a UAV being brought down near an air force base located in Isfahan province on the morning of April 19. According to him, these UAVs took off from within Iran, flew a few hundred meters, and were subsequently shot down. He clarified that the incident did not constitute an attack, as the UAVs were deemed to be children's toys rather than actual UAVs. There is no evidence linking them to Israel, he stated. As a result, Foreign Minister Amira Do Lahan indicated that Iran has no plans to retaliate further against Israel unless provoked by new military actions that threaten its interests. However, he warned that if the Israeli government continues to take provocative steps, Iran's response will be swift and at the maximum level, leading to regrettable consequences. On October 19, reports emerged that Israel had attacked an air base within Iranian territory in response to Iran's previous launch of over 300 missiles and UAVs directed at Israel. Despite the New York Times citing satellite images indicating a precise attack by Israel on Iran's Seari air base, focusing on disabling the radar component of the S300 air defense system without significant collateral damage, Israel has maintained silence on the matter. In contrast, Iran denies the incident was a retaliatory attack by Israel, with a senior Iranian official attributing the explosions on October 19 to the activation of the Air Defense System to intercept UAVs in Isfahan. An anonymous western diplomat suggested that Israel had executed the attack on the air force base using missiles fired from outside Iran, while Iran downplays the severity of the situation, reluctant to admit any shortcomings in its air defense capabilities. Tensions between Israel and Iran have escalated significantly since the beginning of the month, with both sides engaging in military responses within each other's territories. Despite the potential for broader conflict, both parties appear cautious, as targeting civilians could lead to a direct confrontation between the two long-standing adversaries in the Middle East. The developments on October 19 initially impacted global markets, with oil prices surpassing $90 per barrel and gold prices exceeding $2400, reflecting uncertainties surrounding geopolitical conflicts. The situation prompted investors to shift focus, causing fluctuations in stock indexes and Treasury yields amid concerns over earnings and Federal Reserve policies. Market analysts express heightened concerns over the Middle East situation, particularly regarding escalating oil prices and the threat of inflation due to rising fuel and energy costs. Gold prices have surged continuously, raising worries about prolonged inflationary trends. Experts anticipate that gold prices will remain elevated in the long term, influenced by geopolitical tensions and market expectations of delayed interest rate cuts by the Federal Reserve. Amid these uncertainties, global economic outlooks, particularly driven by strong demand from China and macroeconomic uncertainties, suggest a continued uptrend in gold prices. Following reported retaliatory actions between Israel and Iran, Secretary-General Guterres' spokesman issued a statement condemning any further retaliatory measures and urging international collaboration to prevent escalating hostilities in the region. The Secretary-General emphasized the need to break the cycle of violence between the two nations and called for concerted efforts to avert catastrophic consequences for civilians. In response to reported explosions near Isfahan airport, China urged both parties to exercise restraint, underscoring the importance of de-escalation and international cooperation in averting further turmoil in the Middle East.

After nearly 1 year in the jungle |Tiger snake 5-6kg
Welcome back, viewers. Many of you have inquired about a video on identifying the king cobra and monocled cobra in Vietnamese. While we commonly refer to both as "cobra," it's important to note that only the king cobra belongs to the Naja genus, unlike the monocled cobra. In today's video, we will demonstrate how to differentiate between these two snakes using live specimens. One monocled cobra from my farm, accompanied by all necessary legal documentation, and one king cobra, which will be released into a nature reserve. Despite being contained in bags, these snakes exhibit an ability to sense their surroundings. I may consider an interview with a snakebite victim who was envenomated through a similar bag in a future video. The primary focus today is to clarify the distinctions between the two species, as there seems to be confusion among many. The king cobra featured in today's video will be reintroduced to its natural habitat tomorrow. This particular individual weighs approximately 5kg and is notably large. Let's proceed to examine the snakes. The key identifying features of the monocled cobra include its rounded hood, which can expand, and a length of around 1.4 - 1.5m. In contrast, the king cobra can reach lengths of up to 4m and displays a more substantial build indicative of peak physical condition. While the monocled cobra may spit venom, the king cobra tends to be less dramatic when domesticated. Identifying markings, such as the hood pattern, vary among individuals and species. Generally, king cobras exhibit distinct banding and arrow markings on their hoods. Size and weight also serve as distinguishing factors, with the king cobra being larger, heavier, and longer than the monocled cobra. Special attention must be paid to handling these snakes, as their venom can be lethal. Avoiding contact with the eyes is crucial due to the sensitivity of ocular tissues. The king cobra, known for its agility and predatory nature, represents a pinnacle predator in its habitat. Handling such a snake requires utmost caution and expertise, as demonstrated in this video. The importance of respecting these creatures and their habitats cannot be understated.
