Africa's most feared snake, the elusive Black Mamba, holds the record for being the world's longest venomous snake, averaging around 10 feet in length, and sometimes growing to lengths of 15 feet. It is as well the fastest snake in the world, capable of moving at 10 - 12 mph (16--20 km/h). The Black Mamba is not named for the color of its body, which is usually a shade of grey. But for the highly pigmented interior of its mouth, which it shows at a threat display. Many people fear that the black mamba will actually chase and attack humans unprovoked, and there are evidences to support such concerns. Regardless, attacks on humans are surprisingly rare, more people die in Africa due to bites from cobras and other venomous snakes such as the puff adder. Black Mambas feed meanly on small mammal, reptiles and birds but it has been observed, that snakes sometimes prey on animals that are to large to devour. In this video I filmed how a hungry black mamba can across a dead lion. Without any hesitation, the mamba attacked the lifeless body of the lion, striking twice before trying to swallow the enormous carcass. Black Mamba vs Dead Lion, filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in 2009.

  • But why no one creates an antidote against the bites of mamba, coz its mortal

  • @Th0sy There is antivenin for mamba bites available.

  • can you shoot a black mamba or is it just too fast?

  • @Bartbort1 Why would you shoot the snake if it just wants to escape?

  • @ojatro well, about a year ago We had a A neighbor who had a mamba as a pet, he told he brought it back or some smuggled it or Something, but before he moved, he released that snake! and About 2 and a half months ago i saw one crossing the road, it looked like a ground Rattler and a mamba , I live in North-eastern Florida and you say if these Snakes are aggressive as you say they are, I don't want my Scottish Terrier trying to kill it cause she's fearless when it comes to snakes

  • @Bartbort1 You should contact a professional reptiles expert and determined if the snake you saw is indeed the escaped/released black mamba from your previous neighbor. If it is a mamba, the snake needs to be caught immediately before someone (including your dog) gets hurt or worse. You might contact pest control but explain the situation correctly. Good luck.

  • @reignTMGdrugsfree You're mistaken. Please watch the wildlife documentary " Eternal Enemies" in which a lioness makes the deadly mistake of moving her newborns into the territory of an egyptian cobra...

  • @hellgodpk Mambas focus meanly on everything in motion. They don't see a reason to attack motionless objects... unless it's a dead lion like in Part 07. Thanks for watching.

see all
