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.

  • so the removing of the glands is not recommendet? i wanna know about these stuff because i've always wanted to have a king cobra as a pet.

  • @x82bfps Removing of snakes venomous glandes has been done but it is not recommended.

  • @x82bfps Not if you're willing to study and work hard on obtaining the proper knowledge to handle such dangerous (yet amazing) snakes. First rule of all is not to harm and get harmed. Knowledge and wisdom can get you there..

  • @ojatro i want to learn how to handle them,how to understand these magnificent creatures and i can't do it because i'm studying to be a chef

  • @x82bfps There are many options if you're serious. I would suggest your continue your profession in the first place but use your free time to gain knowledge about keeping reptiles as a hobby as well as you might contact anyone close to your field of interest over the web. It's so easy to get connected today.

    Best of luck,

    Ojatro.

  • is the removing of the poison glands lethal for the snake?

  • @x82bfps Not necessarily but it's certainly torture for the snake.
