Black Mambas 01, Mamba vs Humans

[tommyboo21]

This is the most dangerous snake of all. Extremely fast, aggressive, and poisonous. Bites repeatedly, and will attack without any provocation. Make sure you run the other way fast if you ever see one. This one means business.

[chimandude]

I hope there is a bounty on the Black Mamba...

0:44 OH YEAH I LUV DIS BEATZ

[abdi1983]

they look harmless and friendly

[ojatro]

@abdi1983 Yes, just like a common garden snake but that changes quickly when they turn aggressive.

[25thesnake]

i love black mambas 

[faibarlinc999]

i heard that some tribes from africa use the venom of the mamba on their weapons as a symbol of power, is that true?

[ojatro]

@faibarlinc999 I have never come across such info while researching for my documentary on Black Mambas but many cultures utilized venomous snakes, so why not...

[juanfelipejuan7272]

this video made me look around the floor and raise my feet from the floor...

[MrGhod]

In every snake study I read, the Vipers, especialy Pit Vipers are considered the most advanced snake with the most advanced venom delivery system. They have long hinged fangs that can fold when not in use. Also, the Coastal Taipan has a similar venom delivery system to the Black Mamba and some herpitologists consider them related through convergent evolution. On the other hand, Mamba/Taipan venom is faster acting than Vipers. Let me know what you think.

[LetzterWille]

@MrGhod you go dead by all! all is very heavy!^^

[kunaalbedi12]

TEAM HUMANS YEAH!!!!! thumbs up if you with us

[crazyanimal187]

the most dangerous animal's in the world are human beings

[MsTahilalat]

to sum it all up together, which snake is likely to be the most powerful one?

[XSBurningKiller1]

Have you ever though about coming to Australia to see the snakes and crocs?

[ojatro]

@XSBurningKiller1 I would love to film wildlife in Australia, which is such an interesting country with a wide variety of extremely dangerous animals. I'll have to establish some contacts to a few Australian wildlife enthusiasts first to be pointed in the right direction. let me know if you want to get involved. Thanks.

[claudeleason]

@ojatro absolutely! they have the most venomous animals in the world

[TheMuddyMusic]

i really learn a thing or two from your videos, Keep them coming! By the way, is that man talking you?

[ojatro]

@TheMuddyMusic No. It's wildlife biologist Joe Wasilewski.

[Keleskzer0]

God these things give me the creeps... I'll take any type of poisonous snake we have in Australia over these things.

[solidkid4]

if a black mamba bites itself would it die?!?!

[ojatro]

@solidkid4 That's a very good question. Most reptiles (including snakes) are immune to their own venom but there are exception. Some cobras show swellings after inflicting a self bite or being bitten by the same species but they don't die. I'm not sure in case of mambas.

[solidkid4]

@ojatro nice... well heres another. whaaaaaat if one mamba bites another?!?!? at some point wouldn't they carry the same venom and if not what makes one venom more toxic than the next?!?! things that make you go hmmmmm!! (or at least myself :)

[ojatro]

@solidkid4 Most species of snakes are immune to their own venom. Not sure about Black mambas but I'll follow up on that question. Thanks for watching.

[HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke]

Everything has been evolving for the same amount of time, it's wrong to say something is more evolved than something else. You can say they are more adapted, more skilled, more.... anything else, not evolved

[ojatro]

@HeyHeyHarmonicaLuke Mistakes are there to be made. Evolve means changes over generation and an adaptation can take place instantly. I'm sure Joe is aware of its meaning. Thanks for watching.

[dinotooth]

if black mamba is the most advanced snake, why is the King cobra called the king of all snakes?

[ojatro]

@dinotooth The black mamba is the most advanced snake in delivering its venom effectively in reference its myology. There are many reasons why Ophiophagus hannah is called King Cobra. Primary because its the largest venomous snake on our planet.

[dinotooth]

@ojatro oh great.

Fascinating creatures, these snakes. I am really looking forward to hook up with someone to go on a documentary shoot.

Thanks for replying.

All the best for all your shoots. Keep them coming

[ojatro]

@dinotooth Thank you.

[dinotooth]

the sound in background, are they LIONS?

[ojatro]

@dinotooth No. You hear the sound of Wilder beast and zebras mainly.

[Ravenite1]

Just wanna say thanks for uploading, all your videos are very fun. Especially for me I am a avid snake lover. I have a male Ball Python and I plan to continue purchasing snakes because they are one of the most interesting creatures on the planet in my opinion.

[ojatro]

@Ravenite1 You're very welcome. Snakes indeed are fascinating animals. Thanks for watching.

[littleperrie1234]

did u use imovie?

[ojatro]

@littleperrie1234 No. I do all my editing in Final Cut Studio. Thanks for watching.

[littleperrie1234]

@ojatro oh....ok!

[WatchMyMadness]

It is my understanding that the Australian brown snake kills the fastest of any known snake.

[MrShanerampersad1]

@WatchMyMadness not true it's the black mamba



[nyc23bklyn]

thats kobe

[ChiTownBullz]

@nyc23bklyn Kobe be eating Lebron up

[nyc23bklyn]

@ChiTownBullz lol

[sk8erproductions1]

@leoydeia might not be interesting to you, but to mean i love snakes(: im just learning more and more from him while he speaks so im fine with it(:

[fearingpredators]

The king cobra caused the fastest death time on humans bitten by snakes.

Presently,the king cobra and black mamba cause the highest mortality rate (about 1/3 of the victims bitten die).

[Doo0ne]

@fearingpredators All black mamba bite victims die without anti-venom. Cobra bites are survivable without anti-venom in about 40% of cases, apparently.

[Abudaood]

These snakes will also AMAZE me

[ToonandBBfan]

Lethal!!!!
