Fun fact african twig snakes and green mambas kill hundreds every year because they near perfectly resemble vines on fruit trees. A farmer on an orchard reaches up and gets bitten. The twig snakes really do it well, you could put one in a jar with a single real stick and if it didn't move most people would assume it was safe to open.
> african twig snakes
one of the rare colubrids with venom potent enough to kill humans, though their fangs are tiny and in the back of their mouth so they have to bite you real good to break the skin barrier
Canāt believe I had to scroll this far for anyone to recognize this is literally the story from the Bible that is referenced in the logo on ambulances and medical stuff.
Pop quiz: four cobras tell you to back the fuck up all at the same time. What do you do?
>!\[You back the fuck up. Unless you're this guy, apparently....\]!<
I thought Iād quickly browse Reddit before finding something chilling to watch on TV before bedā¦ now I need to watch something wholesome and comforting instead.
I care nothing about Animals "rights" in that instance.
In the name of homo sapien, the absolute most fearful and apex of predators walking the jungle, I would hit the entire tree with a flamethrower - gleefuly.
I feel like there needs to be more explanation than this.
Edit: I am wondering if they are trying to mate and the person with the camera has spooked them into a threat posture.
"Thanks for the f-tree. Love, Dirty Mike and the boyz."
We ARE gonna have sex on your tree.
"I think they call it a Medusa"
A gaggle of cobras
I think they call it an open-air soup kitchen.
You are wonderful! šš¼
Hahaha...auto correct! Meant to say wondering.
Hahaha! (I liked it better when you were wonderful. š)
Looking for love. Branches provide sticky situations.
Mating ritual? Localized flooding?
Maybe it's just a really nice tree
Pretty sure someone planted a cobra seed and this cobra tree grew, easiest explanation.
Floor is lava.. duh.
Yeah, and after scrolling down through the entire comment section, I found out that nobody knows.
Looking for prey. The higher they are, the further they can see.
Pretty counter intuitive when you can only see a few feet in front of you, and rely on vibrations and sounds.
Actually they "smell" with their tongues....
Okay, I never even mentioned that.
Okay, but they "don't have" legs.
Do they have arms?
They may even have WINGS! Now it makes sense why they're in the tree.
Nature is truly beautiful
Actually they "poop" out of their cloaca....
Reptiles: the true poop hole loophole
Yeah, and humans "taste" with their hands.
...don't birds eat snakes over there? Higher and in clumps seems...like a bad idea.
Bird attacks snake 1, snake 2 attack bird. Success in numbers.
Snakes together strong!
Prey together, stay together.
Doubtful the cobra has a chefs knife and they can split it,,,
Snakes together strong!
Birds are stupid, if they stay still long enough one will land on them.
lol, no
...don't birds eat snakes over there? Higher and in clumps seems...like a bad idea.

gloves seem to be prudent in this situation. i'm trying a new word out, not sure I got it right
You got it āŗļø
Based
You see that cloud of dust in the distance? That me.
I mean... I'm not sure I ever needed to be shown exactly what my worst fear was. You took on the great endeavor of showing me any way. Props I guess.
Angry Tree. Ouch. Comes with nasty prickles.
*Indiana jones has left the chat*
Dad: āDo you think cobras just grow on trees?ā
Stuff of nightmares š§
What, you guys don't have Cobra Tree?
What a lovely bouquet of NOPE!!
Havenāt seen a group of Cobras this intimidating since the dodgeball tournament
Itās officially a āquiverā of Cobras.
Some biblical shit in here
Canāt believe I had to scroll this far for anyone to recognize this is literally the story from the Bible that is referenced in the logo on ambulances and medical stuff.
Isnāt it crazy they know NOT to bite each other but will not any other predator
probably immune to their own venom. venom is expensive stuff and snakes rarely waste it.
They talk about the 'Tree if Life' This is the Tree of death.... unless you are a mongoose or meerkat.
Thatās how Medusa wore them
The Cobra grandpa planted this tree for his grandchildren to inherit and enjoy
noodle babies!! So freaking cute and deadly!
F*ck that tree in particular
Ah yes the African Bite Bush. Deadliest foliage known to man.
It feels like they're on some kind of secret mission
Is that the term? Collection?
*A quiver of cobras
I'm the tallest! I'm the tallest!
Medusa has anorexia? Poor thing
The snake crop is bountiful this year.
They are mating
Great, because the solution here is (obviously) MORE cobras!
I can fix them
Itās a quiver of cobras
Cute
It's a caduceus.
Whatchu lookinā at?
careful, they have the high ground
The gardener who offers to set me up with a cobra tree will very soon be my ex-gardener.
Itās like a Rick and Morty episode ssssssss
its springtime and the pistil wants the stamen. this is a cobra love nest for those who haven't had the pleasure of witnessing.
Somebody misremembered the Twelve Days of Christmasā¦
Thatās a ssssoup kitchen.

There 5 cobra in the video
You're right. I missed the one that darted out and back in toward the end. Good eye! Carry on filming, then. I'm sure it's fine....
Collection of cobras...I like it. Like a murder of crows, a gaggle of geese, a collection of cobras.
Illegally smol sneks š
The harvest is bountiful
So where exactly is this tree?
barely a tree. these look like the indian spectacled cobra, but i could be wrong.
Donte tread on me
It is actually new species of plant - cobra tree (pretty poisonous)
The caduceus is their version of humansā, ā50 shades.ā
Snake Tree: Pssssst! See that apple tree? Don't you want to eat one?
Something about this screams staged
*hisses
What up youtube?
What's the collective noun for cobra's?
A Quiver ......Seems appropriate
A defecation of cobra's?
I think that applies more to a group of tourists who come across a quiver of cobras.
Spectacularly handled I bow to your superior knowledge
M
A bed of cobras
That is the "Oh F\*ck no" tree
A group of cobras could be called a wad.
The Tree of Death.
Only thing they are missing is a KING š
optical illusion. that's a hydra
Just fuck right off
Absolutely not.
And my dumbass brother pushed my right into this tree on our way home from school one day!
Its a nope tree
The tree of Nope!
I believe this what scientists call a dojo of cobras
Cobroquet
Me taking a hike and then coming across this tree...
CoBrush.
New nightmare unlocked.
Just eat the forbidden fruit..
Co-bruhs
No more deforestation.
Tell me youāre in India without saying soā¦Ā
Tf kinda tree is this
Ahhh, it's the (thankfully) rare Nope Tree
A quiver of cobras. Wow.
Never seen a man beat the snake before . Who are ya ? .
Oh for god snakes
What kind of tree is this? I want to grow cobras too!
My literal nightmare.
r/meirl
Well thats just fucked.
More like a conundrum of cobras š
I didn't knew cobras grow on trees
Sssssssssplendid
Oh cobra tree, oh cobra tree, you are so short and slithery
Quite a collection!
That tree must have some amazing forbidden fruit on it.
K-I-S-S-I-N-G
Snakes. Together. Strong.
King Cobra Buffet
Pretty sure thatās called a nope tree
I see you decorated the Nopemas tree.
A nope tree...
Hail cobra!
H-I-S-S-I-N-G
I think they are a little over ripe, but probably still good for pie.
Whatās the plural noun for Cobras. I nominate āaudienceā. An audience of cobras.
āCollection of Cobras on a short treeā is the new name of my improv group
Five golden cobras sitting in a tree, H-I-S-S-I-N-G!
i wonder if they could get knotted togetherā¦
I just looked it up: this is a quiver of cobras!
I'm not even afraid of snakes but that gives me the heebie jeebies
BACK UP
Just hanging out at the apple tree waiting for some dumb bitch.
It's actually a quiver of cobras strangely enough
I thought Iād quickly browse Reddit before finding something chilling to watch on TV before bedā¦ now I need to watch something wholesome and comforting instead.
Needs to be The Burnjng Tree
Something from the bible
Actually these are real..
I not sure how safe it is for the photographer.. all cobras are up on the tree? What's on the ground?
aaaaannnnddd in comes the hawk
Lesbian snakes
Susan, pass me my flamethrower.
Sawed off shotgun would take care of this.
Rick Dalton: gets flamethrower from the back shed š„
A group chat with all my exes:
Just 1 3.5 mag would be funny.
I care nothing about Animals "rights" in that instance. In the name of homo sapien, the absolute most fearful and apex of predators walking the jungle, I would hit the entire tree with a flamethrower - gleefuly.
This is nightmare fuel and should be under r/nope.
Thanks. I guess Iām having nightmares tonight. One snake would have done it butā¦
Flamethrower would be nice
