Deep in Thailand, inside a reptile science clinic where one mistake can be fatal, Coyote Peterson enters the world of king cobras, venomous fangs, and life-saving science.
Every single day, Dr. Oat and his fearless team come face to face with some of the most venomous snakes on Earth, taking on the dangerous but essential task of milking cobras for their venom—the critical ingredient used to create anti-venom that saves countless lives.
In this episode, Coyote doesn’t just observe from a safe distance. He gets up close and personal, assisting during the venom milking process. This isn’t a zoo. This isn’t a demonstration. This is real science, real danger, and real consequences.
Join Coyote as he witnesses how venom becomes medicine, and how these deadly snakes play a vital role in saving human lives.
Huge thanks to Dr. Oat of The Queen Saovabha Memorial Institute for sharing his knowledge and for the life-saving work that he and his team do every day. To learn more about their amazing work, check out their website below:
