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.
Black Mambas filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in 2009.

  • What i really want to see Is insects vs insects. Like a army of ants and an army of like termites!

  • @dexteralexandria Filming with mantis, tarantulas and scorpions stands high on my list. Say, I'll start posting insects and invertebrate videos by mid sumer 2012.

  • King Cobra is the largest venomous snake in the world, not black mamba ..

  • @ervan141 That's correct.

  • it might be true that the BM has a powerful venom than a KC, but what KC doesnt have with venompower, it has huge amount of venom to spread out per bite. Since the KC has a speacial blood which makes it pretty much immune to most other venom's, not to mention how big they are (4-5 meters)=> i guess about 12feet, the KC would definitely swallow the BM

  • @Reigh38 There is no definite static available on how long Black Mambas can grow. One can research the subject and get stuck with somewhere around15 feet but people from Africa wrote me that they had encountered black mambas twenty feet long(?).

  • u have to agree that mamba is slender thin as well as small compared to king kobra . i m not an expert on venom but since both hae neurotoxic venom and if they r immune to their own kind of venom the kobra would easily overpower it(atleast cobras r immune to certain kindes venoms since they mainly eat other snakes far more v enomous than mamba

  • @dantesprophet can u provide me with some proof?

  • @phpg92 actually as of now the only snake to have killed an elephant and had it scientifically proven was a black mamba. Course if i recall correctly said mamba was a particularly large and powerful beast.

  • LIXO! vai fazer seus proprios videos! Piro q plajiar! é usar o trabalho dos outros pra se promover!

  • King kobra's venom may nt be potent drop for drop like those of tipan n kraits but they can compensate it with the volume of venom.they can eject the highest volume of venom than any other serpent.that's y they r the only snakes on the planet whose bite can kill animal as large as an elephant

  • Mamba 14. feet

    King Cobra 18.5 feet

    Standing Records
