00:00 In the jungles of Papua New Guinea and the North Queensland in Australia, it is the season of love.
00:07 Two male green pythons are moving in silence.
00:25 They have been attracted by the powerful pheromones of a female.
00:30 When it comes to love, these cold-blooded animals are very passionate.
00:37 The royal cobra, found in the Indian subcontinent and in the South and East of Asia, is the longest venomous snake in the world.
01:06 It can measure more than 5 meters and its bite is just as impressive.
01:10 These are two good reasons to be careful in the event of a love rivalry.
01:15 During the breeding season, it is common to see males fighting for a female.
01:30 But in order to avoid unnecessary deaths, the predators resort to ritualistic fighting.
01:36 The opponents push and drag each other to gain the highest position and, by extension, the dominant status.
01:44 These ritual snails can last for hours and only the most skilled and strongest will reach the top, in both its own and figurative sense.
