Grandpa's information may not be accurate, but I enjoyed listening to his experiences. He might not have formal education, but I am sure experientially he could teach any scholar a thing or two.
We respect Pop's bush experience and know how etc,but he has most of his info wrong snakes that he's calling venomous/poisonous (Cascabel) are not and snakes that are venomous (Zanana) he's saying they're not,and the Balsain isnt the Bushmaster that's the Zanana,this sorta misinformation isn't helping anyone and can actually be dangerous. ..We have 4 very venomous snakes in T&T..and one or two very mild ones,the following are the 4 very venomous ones: Mapipere Balsain /Bothrops Athrox Mapipere Zanana/ Lachesis muta Small Coral/Micrurus circinalis Large Coral/ Micrurus Lemnicatus
Long ago ppl would say snakes bite you and are poisonous. So I understood what grandpa was saying just fine even though I know some words were used in the wrong context
@@Trinavara Like the old timer said but as far as I am concerned the only good snake I know is a dead one. So despite of what he said about the snakes he clearly told us no snake can be trusted that's the key information about that interview.
@@tyresehinds4174 that's old time ignorant talk.,snakes just want to get away from confrontation and should be respected and left alone,,don't you see they always try to.go the opposite way when confronted ? And they play a very important role in controlling pests ..uncle had his experiences and surely he probably knows a thing or two about the bush but I cannot accept his misinformation as anything noble or substantial..
In other countries they call the mappapie balsain bush master and the zanana the ferdilance in Trinidad I know the zannana as the Bush master if u go on RU-vid you would see
I don't care what anyone says in the comments about this bushman being wrong. I would rather go in the bush with this retired well dressed bushman than with anyone else. 😁
Pops have a lot of info. Respect for that. But not all correct................and the dangerous ones are classed as venomous, not poisonous. Mappepire z'anana is venomous. Snakes bite, not sting !
Mappepire snakes goes by several different name's such as south America pit viper bothdrops and fer de Lance does are the correct name for this breed of pit vipers they are very dangerous and the venom contains deadly protein called nerotoxin
