Interesting movie about Bavarian adders

Postby Laura Bok » Tue Feb 21, 2017 9:31 pm

The BR (Bayerischer Rundfunk) produced a movie about Vipera berus in Bavaria. It is in German language, but the documentary is well worth seeing even if you might not get every word (I had some problems with the very Bavarian parts as well :lol: ). The footage includes beautiful and rare pictures of adders giving birth, during ritual fights, as well as juveniles luring their prey by moving their tails (!).

It is online for 6 more days, so hurry up:

Cheers,

really a great movie ;)
unusual for tv documentaries on snakes, worth to have a look on, even you don't understand a German word

Some great footage in the programme - and not just Adders.

Does the guy get bitten half way through as he goes to pick a snake up near some pylons? (32 minutes in).

yes, and he tells, the bite has been quite serious (diarrhoe, vomitting, low blood pressure with a short absence, but recovered in a few days)
