00:00 On Karnak, the feast of the tiger snakes continues, and the adult seagulls desperately try to protect their young.

00:08 The silver seagulls do not have the strength necessary to kill the tiger snakes, but they can nevertheless cause them terrible injuries,

00:25 especially to the eyes.

00:29 On Karnak, almost one out of ten tiger snakes has lost sight of the consequences of an injury inflicted by the seagulls.

00:40 Even if this type of injury never heals, they have no influence on the ability of the snake to hunt.

00:49 But how do they do it?

00:54 Tiger snakes are excellent hunters, and they have more than one rope to their bow.

01:00 Among the stoned ones, there is one who has developed his own hunting technique.

01:05 He does not even need to locate his prey visually.

01:09 This is the viper of death.

01:15 According to some scientists, this is the eighth most venomous snake in the world.

01:21 Small, short and not very agile, it does not bother to look for its prey as the other stoned ones.

01:27 It ambushes them.

01:33 It hides under the leaves that cover it perfectly and remains still.

01:47 It is capable of feeling the subtle vibrations of a prey approaching.

01:51 Once at a sufficient distance, it strikes at lightning speed.

01:57 It is among the snakes...

02:02 ...the fastest in the world.
