00:00 Borneo is home to around 160 species of snake,

00:06 many of them venomous, including this keel pit viper that

00:12 strayed into the compound from the surrounding forest.

00:14 The staff quickly captured the intruder,

00:23 and Mulyono has decided it's time for group four's

00:26 lesson in snake awareness.

00:32 Mulyono doesn't usually attend forest school classes,

00:40 so as soon as they spot him,

00:44 the students can tell this is no ordinary lesson.

00:47 Jumbo and Yoko try to scare him off.

00:56 Litti, Lanting, and Chinta are the bravest.

01:04 And then little Eric joins Chinta for a closer look.

01:19 This snake is rubber, but it looks real enough to the orangutans.

01:24 This response is just what Mulyono hoped for.

01:41 Terrorising these youngsters may look mean,

01:47 but one day this lesson could save their lives.
