sometimes the real thing is just as
impressive to legend the black mamba is
one of Africa’s most feared serpents and
it’s all that and more its Africa’s
longest venomous snake growing to a
length of 14 feet it’s also the world’s
fastest snake zipping along it up to 12
miles per hour its head is often
described as coughing and for many
in Africa this snake is synonymous with
dead without antivenin the black mambas
neurotoxins can kill a human in less
than 15 minutes while its main prey
items include small animals like rats
Bush babies and burns its lethal bite is
famous enough that even creatures
several hundred times in size pay out of
its way the Mamba hunts by day it’s not
afraid to show the black interior of its
mouth and scare the daylights out of
this herd
[Music]
it does this to avoid being trampled all
it wants to do here is clear a path and
the strategy works perfectly wouldn’t
you love to scare people like that yeah
sure would make getting through rush
hour easier and for those of you who’ve
seen enough nature documentaries you
know what this means
rush squirrel versus mama
squirrels are one of the black mambas
favorite meals and it gets worse the
squirrel has a nest of young nearby and
the Mamba is just as cozy in a tree as
on the ground the Mamba uses sight and
scent to seek out its prey it has the
squirrel and its nest zeroed in the
mother stays away but as for saving her
babies there’s not a single thing she
can do but we can do something we can
avoid the obligatory deadly mama chomps
cute baby squirrel shot let’s cut right
to the end of the meal just the last few
crunches I hope you appreciated our
discretion just be glad as a human
you’ll probably never encounter one of
these elusive yet aggressive snakes
