The Black Mamba is one of the fastest venomous snakes in the world 🐍 How would you describe this infamous snake using one word?
Lethal.
RESPECTED 😎... ; )
Beatrix Kiddo. Ok, that's two words but still...
Dangerous
Assassin
imagine being the deadliest mamba & then they just put you in a sack

There’s a few people have made mistakes in it winds up, biting them through the bag.
When I was a teenager, I talked to a couple of difference sources of mine out of curiosity to ask about the Black Mamba snake (zoologists, snake handlers, African emigrants). Everyone that I spoke to about the Black Mamba was afraid of it.... and these were not easily rattled people. For a very good reason, the Black Mamba is literally the fastest, aggressive, most venomous snake on this planet.
It’s not the most venomous The inland taipan is
It's Top 10 most venomous. But it's the agressiveness that triggers most of us who have encountered them
@@technic3750 LD50 of 0.025 vs 0.341.... Taipan venom is roughly 15X stronger than Mamba venom...
boi is venomous enough to comfortably crack the top 10 but the fact that most of the other rank holders will go defensive when they see you this guy could probably strike you with such a speed that you will understand next to nothing
Down here in Africa, The Black Mamba is synonymous with death, its big quick and extremely temperamental, not to mention venom that kills you in minutes! A black mamba is equivalent to that player on Madden or FIFA with a 99 rating on all the attributes...
Really nice to see the coordination, communication, and trust between the snake catchers. Thank you for saving the snake and protecting the people.
Him: this is very very dangerous. One bite and I’m dead. Also him: **catch it bare hands**
Lol😭 these days people are so dramatic.
I thought that was so dumb too
He is one of the greatest snake catchers relax
Simon's an experienced professional. Catching a snake with bare hands is much easier for him, albeit much riskier, and reduce the chance of causing injury to the snake. Not that I fully agree with him, but I can understand his point of view. Wrangling a dangerous animal wearing full protective gear and using the proper equipments would be the best in term of safety but in reality, it's not the most practical
@@sarashibanya No. It can literally kill you within 20 minutes
“We against the villain, what’s the name?” BLACK MAMBA

Everything
@@NatGeoWild everything was great
@@NatGeoWild video could be longer. PLEASE get Dingo Dinkelman on Nat Geo please. He’s the African Steve Irwin. He deserves it and your show would do great with him!!
@@kolbyorozco9494 He has been. I saw him on a special on snakes.
"In Africa, the saying goes 'In the bush, an elephant can kill you, a leopard can kill you, and a black mamba can kill you. But only with the mamba is death sure'. Hence its handle, 'Death Incarnate'." Pretty cool, huh?
"It’s neurotoxic venom is one of nature’s most effective poisons, acting on the nervous system causing paralysis. The venom of a black mamba can kill a human being in four hours if, say, bitten on the ankle or the thumb. However, a bite on the face or torso can bring death from paralysis within twenty minutes. Now you should listen to this, ’cause this concerns you. The amount of venom that can be delivered from a single bite can be gargantuan - you know I’ve always liked that word, “gargantuan”? I so rarely have the opportunity to use it in a sentence. If not treated quickly with anti-venom, ten to fifteen milligrams can be fatal to human beings. However, the black mamba can deliver as much as one hundred to four hundred milligrams of venom in a single bite." - Elle Driver AKA California Mountain Snake.
Kill bill reference
Where in africa do they say that? Please be more specifik seing as it is a Continent
@@bella11194 It was specifically said in Budd's trailer.
@@bella11194 It's a quote from a movie, simmer down.
I think it is important to let people know that there are a number of very able and competent snake catchers/rescuers in South Africa. And they have channels here on KZhead :-)
And most are more skilled then those two.
@@billwilson3665 and most know the difference between then and than
@@oskar6130😂😂😂😂
I know these two only, probably because Snake in the City is my favorite program on Nat Geo Wild.
Out of all the snakes I find the Mamba the most terrifying... These things don't play and are extremely temperamental. Definitely the bull shark of the snake world.
Being a snake catcher takes balls yo respect
Fr
you know what i like about this guy..... He's not a 'Main Ou'. He doesn't have to overdramatise what he's doing. What he does speaks for itself. He doesn't drum up any Hollywood hype to try and exaggerate what is. He never says anything to 'en-awe' the people watching even though he so easily could. I just wish he'd get himself and wear a head lamp..... and never lose respect for these things you are dealing with. An old carpenter i'd met once said to me, ' even though im becoming constantly more skilled at what i do .... my tools are my friends, but the older i get the more i revere my tools for the harm they can do to me!' stay safe friend and be wise.

I love these guys my fav. Waiting for new episode of them watched every season of snake catching .... Love from India ❤
Did not realize they got that big. Wow.
Some between 3-,,4 meters...kurdt greenwood has visit to "Lawnwood Snake Sanctuary" in his channel...Lawnwood is in south Africa and they have a Mamba so fat and big,the guy shakes having to go in and clean the pen..Kurdt Greenwood channel visits and the video shows this Monster...Oh is it HUGE!!!!! A MUST SEE..
"The temptation that swallows you, BLACK MAMBA Ma Ma Mamba Woo oh-oh Ma Ma Mamba Oh eh-oh eh-oh" anyways, for me Black Mamba lives in KWANGYA....right MYs???
YEAHHH I WAS LOOKING FOR AESPA COMMENTS
But I live in FLAT
This is amazing and terrifying at same time.. Hats off to Nat Geo..
Yeesh. Black Mambas are terrifying. Hope I never run into one, except behind at a zoo, where it’s behind strong glass
Even if you run into one am sure you can outrun it. Aren't humans faster than them🤔
@@Hope-zq5qd: The video said they can slither up to 12 miles an hour.

Hahaha
Youre so funny
Nature is so amazing ❤️
Most wild animals live in Africa 95%
Always so amazing and interesting. Thanks for watching, Sofia! ❤️
And tough
Its true
Not snakes, filling them with brass is more amazing ❤
The black mamba looks so terrifying... Their eyes are full of hate, emptiness and darkness. Truly fascinating and scary at the same time
they are not full of hate... this is their primary function, the way they survive. accept natural selection !
I dont think they even feel hate, not like we do. They just want to live.
They are actually very cheerful...I once watched a mongoose get ahold of a Mamba,and as the Mongoose was crunching his head,the Black Mamba still was smiling all through the process.... Always Smiling in a good mood..
My wife more terrifying.
They look just like any other snake….their eyes.
Strong, Fast, Lethal & Deadly.

Don't forget powerful
Everything you don't want in something that can kill you!
In South Africa, about an hour from Richards Bay, there was a giant black mamba on the road. There were a group of people trying to kill it/get it off the road and one psychopath lady trying to protect it. She wouldn’t listen to anyone and was trying to grab it while they tried to stop her and hit it with logs. Someone eventually tackled her and the thing took off
The satafrikan had me in stiches, was probably about to take a shower when he saw titanoboa 🤣🤣

Are these guys insane????? Picking up a wild black mamba with bare hands?! If it were me I'd wear 3 sets the thinkest oven mits in the world wrapped in 3 miles of giant bubble wrap, locked in 2 gloves of cast iron!
Cast iron” had me hahaha
That black mamba guy looks good. He will be a good nba player for sure

The most venemous snake in the world Filmer: ima chase it
Not the most venomous, but it's like having three nukes instead of four. The Inland Taipan is the most venomous, but non-agressive, more isolated and sightings are very rare.
The Black Mamba is a snake that must be respected.
Oh goodness I didn't expect to see familiar faces! I used to watch Simon and Siouxsie - every rerun, I'd watch them.
Black mamba ma ma ma ma ma ma mamba oh woah woah

girl just call naevis she will help u ❤❤❤❤
my naevis we love yaouuuuu~
It would have been interesting if other animals had evolved too with human like intelligence and we could communicate and negotiate with them.
the mambas would be great assassins
Catch me befriending a mamba so that I have a noodle who can defend me
I'm from Kenya and this snakes are everywhere,we just learnt how to love with them
Beautiful, even though deadly and venomous
For many years, I thought black mambas only lived out in remote wildernesses of southern Africa, but spotting of them around nice subdivisions in Johannesburg are actually pretty common.
This the kind of videos that i love. Expecting more soon :)
4:12 Snake holding the camera 🤣
isn’t this that aespa thing
That was probably the biggest black mamba I've ever seen someone catch. It looked about 10-11 feet.
Wow that was extremely dangerous at the same time extremely cool those snake catchers
anyone her bc of black mamba aespa

I live in Mamba country. We have a place across my house which is called Mamba Valley. Black Mamba's are common here. 2 months ago, a Mamba killed pet 3 dogs.
Are you comfortable living there? 😳 are you planning on relocating or...?
@@avocado1182 I've been living around Black and Green Mambas all my life. They don't bother us. They do their best to stay away. But sometimes, they wonder into human spaces. I've crossed paths with Black Mamba's on many occasions.
@@A__Singh__ whaaat 😳 I wish I was that brave, seriously cos that'll be a living nightmare for me. Wow
@@avocado1182 lol. If you were born here and grew up here, then you won't have any fears for snakes. I once walked in-between a wall and a 2 meter Black Mamba. I was about 7 years old. It was early in the morning. I think the snack just eat something, so it was chilling. It never made a move. Very stupid of me, but yes I did some stupid things back in the days.
And you are still living there?..you crazy!
I don't mess with no black mamba. If you're gonna catch it you have to be an absolute professional while doing it. These monsters are fast to bite you.
Wow deadly snake but amazing creature
Who searched black mamba song and this video also came btw the video is interesting
For anyone watching this video thinking this is easy for them.. 1. Catching a Black mamba is the most dangerous rescue(venomous snake) in the entire world.. 2.The snake can be so aggressive esp because of the warm conditions in Africa and always will be ready to strike in the slightest opportunity it gets..Comes with a Potent venom(Very fast acting, which can kill within 20 minutes depending on the venom load injected and the area of the bite).. 3. These guys dnt even know where the Snake will be, and peek their heads into holes and places where they can be bitten on their face or neck which almost always is a guaranteed death with this snake.. 4. Even the Greatest Steve Irwin in one of his episodes says, "He gives the utmost respect to this snake than anyother creature in the world".. 5. They probably catch more than 50 snakes(Only Black mamba), More than 100 if all the other venomous snakes in a Month..Obviously chance of getting bitten rises.. 6. They are Risking their lives each and every moment for the welfare of the snakes just bcoz their Passion for those reptiles..Don't thnk it's for money, they can probly do 1000 other jobs rather than this one.. 7. What makes them more special(All snake rescuers in Africa is) more than the ones in other countries is that in countries like India, Even if snake bites, they can save their lives coz the 4 Venomous snakes in India won't kill as fast as Africa or Australia..In Australia the deaths due to Snakebites is so low eventough they possess the most venomous creatures of the planet is coz of their Advanced and efficient Emergency Medicine unlike Africa where Good Emergency Hospitals are faraway from most places esp Villages, A bite will probably end their life or cause permanent damages.. 8. So, let us all Give our utmost love and Respect to these Brave warriors who are dng a great service to our Wildlife and Environment..Fan from India
The Inland Taipan followed by the Eastern Brown Snake are the most venomous but the Black Mamba speed and temperamental nature makes it very dangerous.
Great job 💓💓☺️
Nævis is here to save us😇
My Naevis we Love you 💕
What a great video thnx Nat Geo
You mate and your helper I tip my hat off to yall yall are brave people I could never do that
That was a great job, but I'm curious what the tattoo is on his left hand!😄
That deadly snake probably belonged to Lord Voldemort.
This video popped up on my screen when I typed "Black mamba" ._. (Yes ik there black mamba is a type of snake but I was trying to find a kpop song Black mamba by aespa)
If I seen this snake up close I would never think it’s poisonous bc it don’t have the typical poisonous snake eyes.
All venomous snakes in North America have cat like eyes/pupils except for the coral snake. Almost all in Africa look like the mamba here though
Those people have guts.
Please make more episodes of 'Sneaks in the city'
Snakes in the city, great show
No protective shoes or gloves ?? Pretty scary
Stream Black Mamba by Aespa!!
They should have kept Snake City on air indefinitely. It was a great show.
The snake and other animals goes to our houses bc of deforestation 🥺👉👈
No, more trash, more rats, more snakes. Black mambas don't live in forests.

Oh, I also wanted to see how they release her into the wild :(

What heroes Simon and Siouxie are.
What a wonderful snake catchers 👍. English people are extremely professional 🔥
It’s kinda funny to me how everyone is acting like it’s the most devil creature on earth while it’s just an animal that wants to survive and that is gifted with a great protection.
Thats because you're special
1.5 min of snake; 5.5 min of some dudes
3:22 A real wild snake (even non-venemous) will attempt to slither away FAST when it first senses it is being touched. 4:17 Wild mambas will incessantly strike at anything that is gripping them. But nonetheless, it's great video and for a good cause
کتنا پیارا اور پیارا بلیک ممبا ہے تم۔😍
This guy's crazzy one of the most dangerous jobs I've seen insane literally
You should contact Dingo Dinkleman about the snakes of South Africa. He has several of every kind in his collection. Very Educational. I also love these two. They save so many lives. And it doesn’t matter how poor someone is, they can still be clean. Trash attracts rats which attracts snakes.
Rude, you have no idea about their personal circumstances.
Where did you get it that they are not clean? What was trash in that house, that could attract rats?
One of my favorite snakes. It's my dream to catch one of these.
Go for it.
You always have SueEllen...
