Mambas are the most feared snakes of Africa. People think that they can chase people and try to bite them. However, when it comes to snakebites, there are other snakes, like cobras and Puff adders, which are responsible for most cases. Watch this video, to actually see, how beautiful are mambas. You will see 3 species in the wild:
Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis)
Jameson's mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni)
Eastern green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps)

  • I was using my headphones and was amazed by the rich nature sounds. So many numbers of monkeys , birds , insects ,reptiles ,amphibians sounds overlapped. You can’t even imagine how rich the nature is. Those areas are full of lives from a top of the tall trees to deep down in the ground. Even in a 3Mx3M space ,if tree grows 40ms ,it’s like a high-rise condominium. Many kinds of living life in each floor. That’s a lot different to a flat place like savanna.

    • The Western Green Mamba species viridis had a blue colouration sometimes. Download the African Snakebite Institute App. They have s poster on this snake. It is a pity that they did not film the Western Green Mamba. FYI: The polyvalent antivenom produced in South Africa covers the black eastern green and Jameson's mambas. Nic Evan's is very well known in SA. He once removed 5 black mambas from one yard in a Durban suburb. Plenty of KZhead videos. First video I have seen where the truth about aggressive Black Mambas is debunked. Brilliant!!@

A Neighbour lost two cattle to mamba bites - it was going between the two & must have felt threatened. They apparently died ‘on the spot’.

  • Great photography. I lived in the low veld of Swaziland when I was a volunteer. There were plenty of black and green mambas. Generally speaking they will keep to themselves but not always. I heard more than a few stories of mambas acting aggressively toward people, some of whom were bitten and died within an hour. I had my own close encounters with both green and black mambas and in every case I was lucky to escape without be bitten. So they don't always strike when a person is at very close range. However, if they are riled up, watch out. They are extremely fast. The big ones can travel as fast as a man can run. And they are not small. Two mambas were killed on the school property where I lived, one black and one green. The both were approximately five meters long. The black mamba was about as thick as a woman's forearm. The green mamba was about 3.5 to 4 cms in diameter. The green mambas are not aggressive like the black mambas.

    • Hello, thank you for watching!!! Also, thank you for writing about your experiences with mambas. Most of the information is correct. When mambas feel threatened, they can try to bite. But if you give them space, they will leave you alone. They are not as fast as people. It is a big story and everybody says it, but there are no reasonable measurements. And the information about the length of both species is incorrect. Green mambas reach maximum length of 2.4 meters and Black mambas 4.3 meters (but serious measurements say maximum length is about 3.8 meters).

  • Growing up in Kenya as a boy, Black Mambas were very feared and I agree with this documentary; these snakes tend to have a permanent lair/nest. If the black mamba sees you first, it'll escape. But when cornered or attacked from close range, it charges fast and without warning....a very scary and life changing experience. Once you get chased by a black Mamba you'll never ever want to cross paths again and i think that's why it's so feared

    @Hempstone007@Hempstone0072 жыл бұрын
    • You are right, if cornered, a Black mamba will defend itself! But many other snakes will strike if they cannot escape. We agree that mambas are very venomous and potentially dangerous, but they don't chase people on purpose. We are glad that you did not get bitten during that scary experience!

  • Excellent video. I lived in africa for several years and cam across a lot of snakes none of which were aggressive towards me as I left them alone and did not threaten them. Apart from one Black Mamba that was aggressive but maybe it was just haing an off day? We had a Green Mambe that lived in out shed and we used to forget it was there (it was only young about four foot long) and you could be standing literally inches from it and it would not bother you, the same was a thirteen foot Forest Cobra that lived in our hedge and fields it never bothered anyone in fact it was quite curious and if you came across it in the fild it would stay about four feet from you always at the side and just move along with you for a while. I saw Boomslangs, puff adders and loads of other species and none would bother you if you left them alone. As I say I think the Black Mamba was just having a bad day and even though it showed a little aggression it soon turned and went off. I won't lie I don't particularly like snakes but certainly wouldn't hurt one and find it a shame that people do not realise what an integral part of nature they are and what an important role they play. Congrats again superb video.

Sometimes they can get scared and make a threat as the mamba you mentioned, but they never want to kill you. You have the right way to approach living with venomous snakes! Recently we have been filming on a snake island in Uganda, where people live in harmony with cobras and these snakes even stopped hooding and they show no sign of aggression at all. kzhead.info/sun/hdCwfKl6p2Zqf4E/bejne.html

  • Really, snakes get their bad reputation from televised snake handlers. No one is more at risk of being bitten than the snake handlers, they often dance around the snake to demonstrate it's agility, which is very misleading. It's not aggression your seeing, it's sheer fear combined with the fact that they're super agile. But really, it's just nervousness on the snakes part, and even if it bites you're still a huge threat to the snake (from the snakes perspective), it's not going to wait around for you to die its gonna flee as soon as it can.

Polylepis, as with all creatures it’s just trying to survive & go through its daily grind like us...the tragic part is not the city or suburbs but the rural hinterlands of nations making up the black mamba domain...here due to lack of awareness, frequent conflict of resources between man & snake cause their paths to coincide sometimes resulting in morbidity or mortality, lack of professional rescuers nearby & shortage of AV serum along with such other factors magnify this issue with increased fatalities, highly suggest if feasible to check some interior rural areas, I guess they have one of the highest intelligence level of all snakes thus such a pleasure & fascination to watch...keep going...!!!

We hope that our videos and films will help at that as many people from rural areas can see them. Some mistakes (when they try to kill snakes etc.) can be very costly and snakes and people are dying.

    • That's due to subpar medical access, the mortality rate in Australia is super low due to the fact that they have a universal healthcare system and don't pay a cent for antivenom. In terms of sheer potency the black mamba nowhere close to 3rd most toxic. The second most toxic is the eastern brown, 3rd would be coastal taipan and the 4th is the tiger snake. There are about 8 other snakes that beat the mamba in terms of drop for drop potency, but the mamba injects a LOT of venom per bite and will often strike multiple times. It never gives a dry bite, and although not the most potent, it's one of the fastest working toxins, which is a separate factor to sheer potency. At the end of the day the most dangerous snake in the world is the one the bites you.

Regardless of how many fatalities... that, I would say, is a well-deserved reputation. I do however agree with the fact that most points addressed in this video were blown out of proportion and I'm glad that they were cleared up. :) amazing footage!!!!! you just gained a subscriber!!!!

It has extremely potent neurotoxic venom and if cornered it may strike and bite repeatedly. What we try to show in our films and videos is that venomous snakes are not evil creatures trying to chase people and kill them. That is why we focus on importance of snakes in the environment, their beauty and so on.

The only one that I'm scared to touch is the black mamba and I'm genuinely terrified of it. Seeing this video and watching it in such a calm manner was very cool. Now, if you have any tips on finding and catching green mambas, I'd love to know. I've only been able to have an experience with one of them and it was way back in 2006. I haven't seen another since. It was very docile and posed with me for pictures with no aggression at all.
