- 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)

This is hands down one of the best videos out there. No crazy unnecessary music...
Just the birds singing.
Thank you so much!!! Very happy that you love the video!
May I ask how near are you to the snakes?
Let's all take a moment to appreciate this channel for not blasting shitty rock music and putting jump cuts in every 3 seconds to try to captivate the american audience. Big respect from me.
Thank you so much!! We appreciate that you like our style of videos!
Totally agree - the complete lack of sensationalism is utterly refreshing. Well done to all those concerned.
@@me58100 Thank you so much!!!
Bitch i am American and i dont like that shit either. Watch your mouth next time
This is so true, finally we don’t have to deal with every rap known man for a video
This is hands down, the greatest mamba footage I've seen in decades. Absolutely fantastic work. Thanks from all of us at MToxins for this.
Thank you so much for this fantastic comment! We feel honored that you think our footage of mambas is the best you have seen in decades :)
I Agree
Mate - check the Dingo channel. There's much more about mambas and great. You're never see better
SETUM I own MToxins Venom Lab and extract from them to make the african Antivenom.
@@power444e great job dude, your work is saving human lives.
i love how relaxing this video is and very educational.
Thank you very very much!! :)
No talking straight information and beautiful noises in the background. Great video.
Thank you so much, we are happy to hear that you liked the style of this video!
Supreme combination of audio & video
That is some very impressive video. The Eastern Green is a jewel.
Thank you so much!!! :) Yes, that bright green is hypnotizing!
It is a jewel until it bite your behind
Jameson’s Mambas are my favorite. Their color is amazing.
We agree!!! Especially the green ones are amazing.
It gives some green Mambas, where some of them are yellow and some of black mambas or green Mambas are blue, I have seen it on really pictures, but they all very dangerous.
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 CZcams videos. First video I have seen where the truth about aggressive Black Mambas is debunked. Brilliant!!@
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.
Rainforest has amazing diversity. But also, it is more difficult to find animals there than in savanna. Great that you enjoy natural sounds!
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
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!
Just a few minutes ago found one in our sitting room, thank God a neighbour came to help. He used a catapult and hit it with a stone first. It was a scary experience....am in kenya.
@@LivingZoology i was chased by a black mamba. A black mamba will chase you if you enter it's territory. we used to think that maybe its because its protecting its eggs or young ones. A mamba will surely chase you. We lived with lots of them in my village in the early 2000's but we nolonger see them these days.
Is it just me or does the mamba have a grin on its face like it’s saying I’m sexy and I know it
I grew up in areas populated by mambas; people generally showed them respect and let them be. A Neighbour lost two cattle to mamba bites - it was going between the two & must have felt threatened. They apparently died ‘on the spot’. Fantastic quality video and agree with many others great there’s no annoying music and just giving us the opportunity to view these magnificent beautiful creatures.
Thank you very much, it is great that you enjoyed watching this video :) In which area/country did you grow up? You are right, sometimes accidents happen, but if people give mambas a chance to escape, they quickly disappear.
They also have been known to go into people's dwellings like in Johannesburg South Africa like this video shows.
Great video; awesome snakes, pure natural sound!! 5 stars!
Thank you so much for watching and coming to our channel!
Absolutely legendary. Thank you.
Thank you very much!
Smooth absorbing nature footage, no drama, how a nature channel should be.
Thank you so much!!!
@@LivingZoology Well, we would very much appreciate some commentary.
@@ammaarwalji1498 Then these are made for you! :) czcams.com/play/PLj80DUXdImxY2Dmas8H-wxuWDYjqDLhJu.html
Beautiful sounds. I love it when their tongues go really slow and they leave it out of their mouths. So adorable.
Thank you! Yes, it is awesome when snakes make tongue flicks slowly and you can enjoy the movement. Rattlesnakes are great for that also! czcams.com/video/feqD7ikbyOY/video.html
Living Zoology omg that was so awesome. Thanks so much.
I’m loving the big grin on these Mamba’s faces as if they’re saying I’m beautiful and I know it!! Especially that jade green neon Mamba!!!
Awesome as always. I especially enjoyed the Puff Adder sequence.
Excellent video, I love the forest sounds! and thank you for saving that snake, they are so misunderstood!
Thank you so much for watching!!! It is great to see new people here on our channel! :)
Your videos are the absolute best: stunning, accurate information, no intrusive talking. This is like having a totally naturalistic vivarium a square kilometre in area, with complete safety. Bliss!!
Wow, you made our day!!! Reading this positive post was so great!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
Two points:
1) Best Mamba footage hands down.
2) I couldn't ever sleep in Durban.
Thank you so much!!! Well, there is a chance that mamba comes into your house if you live there!
I love all your videos, no annoying music.
Give us a great opportunity to see these beautiful creatures.
Thank you, great that you love our videos! :)
ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for share this video. ❤️
Thank you very much for watching!! 🙂
An amazing video with natural sound and showing mambas for what they really are - beautiful animals. They dont deserve the bad reputation as they are just trying to survive but many get shot for no reason. I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. A very well made video - thanks guys!
Thank you very much for watching! We are happy that you agree with us that mambas are amazing animals and they deserve our respect. Please check out also other videos from our channel! :)
This channel is so underrated & deserves atleast 5 million subs. Love the videos. no crappy shitty talking. beautiful & peaceful jungle sound in the background (not sure if that the original real time jungle sound while videos are taken) but love the video quality. keep up the good work
Thank you so much!!! We really appreciate your comment and hopefully, we will get more subscribers in the future :) We record the sounds at the locations where we find snakes.
Agreee!!
Actually not underrated. There are people out there who fear snakes they even shreak at the mere mentioning of the term, let alone pictures, not to mention videos. Only you and I, and some few others, do not have this phobia.
3 ugh
Beautiful photography,Living Zoology!
Thank you very much!!!
Thank you for uploading the video and for the accuracy of the facts about these feared snakes. It's really wonderful.😊
Glad you enjoyed it! We were especially happy to present this video about mambas as most videos on the internet present them as scary and aggresive snakes.
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).
@@LivingZoology I live in the Laeveld of Mpumalanga and I have had many encounters with black mambas and yes most were between 2.3m and 3m I did have a monster 5m mamba living in the rockery our old holiday home for 2 years
@@LivingZoology also great video,for a moment I thought it was an outtake from BBC earth😅
@@seancushway6959 Greetings to South Africa! :) From 2 to 3 meters is the most common adult size nowadays. The absolute historic record for a Black mamba is 4.3 meters.
@@seancushway6959 Many thanks! :)
Can’t wait! Its my birthday than😊
Wow, so happy birthday from us!!! 😊 Hopefully, you will love the video and it will be our gift to you!!
This was so soothing and relaxing. Wonderful nature and apex predators enjoying their freedom. Great video!👏👏👏
Thank you so much for watching!!! Hopefully, you will come to our channel even next time! ;)
Thank you so very much for your gentle and elegant story of the Mamba Family. Hats off to you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Check out the new one we made: czcams.com/video/7cUgLCXJ_Uc/video.html
Incredible sights, am a huge fan of nature....would u plz also try to make vids like these with commentary, its makes it more wowish
Hi! Thank you so much!! :) We produce wildlife documentaries with narration in 2 languages :) You can check our playlist Wildlife documentaries. These shorter scenes are basically from the footage which will be included in our future films with narration. But it takes about a year to finish one movie, so we don't want our fans to wait for so long.
Great that you do not have music, otherwise I’d not watching. Also it’s excellent that you put on a readable text and leave it long enough to read it. Keep it up and I’ll follow and if no music or any background noise I will subscribe. Nice filming and great editing. Congratulation
That Old Bob
Thank you! Most of our videos are without narration :)
Really good, worth watching 100 times.
Thank you so much!!! :)
Thank you for this fantastic little doco on the Mambas of Africa.... The first green Mamba was so strange how many of them have black tails.... Dark green back would help it blend in with it's environment so easy... Awesome 👍
Thank you very much!!! Jameson's mambas have black tails mostly in East Africa.
9:57 Mamba: OK, bro, I opened my mouth! What, you still don't let me go?
What a beautiful species of snake one of my favorites I love all snakes but we must protect and conserve them safely.
Mambas are truly beautiful. Yes, they are extremely venomous but they don't deserve their bad reputation. And we agree with you that not only mambas but all snakes deserve protection! For example, in India, all snakes are protected and it is a very good decision.
You love them on CZcams videos
@@dhanuarygundana6342 We love to observe them, work with them, film them, and present videos about them! :)
Kept Black Mamba for five years-most interesting and inquisitive snake in my collection! Awesome video and messaging, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for watching!!! What happened with your Black mamba?
Man I love all your videos. Look at how crystal clear the footage is. My favourite colour is green to and this is superb 🙏🏼😎
Thank you so much!!! Quality of the footage is very important for us so we can show people the true beauty of snakes 🙂 If green is your favorite color, this is a good video for you! 😉
Eagerly awaiting this with anticipation...however what about the western green mamba ?
Happy that you are looking forward to this video. Unfortunately, we don't have enough funds to travel to West Africa now. We don't have enough sponsors and supporters so we partly or totally fund our filming trips.
Living Zoology : so sweet of you to respond honestly & swiftly...loved this no nonsense footage style...I follow the work of 2 rescuers closely...Nick Evans from Durban, RSA as you already know & Thea Litschka Koen from Simune, Swaziland...admire this approach of yours to demystify the so called notorious reputation of D. 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...!!!
@@sambit2901singh Thank you for your comment! We were filming with Nick and he is doing an excellent job. As you say, most snakebites happen in rural areas and it is so important to educate! 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.
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.
Hello!!! What an awesome comment you wrote!!! Exactly, if you don't bother snakes and you give them space ou can even live with them on our property. 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. czcams.com/video/RlwLEBp44LI/video.html
"...just move along with you for a while". Bloody Hell, mate!
Hell No if I had a mamba and cobra living on my property I’d move out the minute i saw them I wouldn’t be able to sleep never knowing if they got into the house Nope I’ll stick to New Jersey where the most I’ll run into is a garter snake
Awesome video, nice to hear the natural sound, yet you still present excellent information. I think I will subscribe!
Thank you so much for watching!!! We are happy that you liked the natural sounds and there were also interesting information for you!
Absolutely love your videos, amazing color and camera work, and the sound of the snakes natural habitat, stuff most people will never get a chance to see.
Thank you very much! We are happy that you love our videos!
Thanks you for despelling the myth about Mambas I live in an area with lots of black Mambas but I have never heard of a single bite we do co exist well. Makes me respect these snakes even more.
Thank you for watching! :) We are very happy that after this video you respect mambas even more.
In Russia, a famous blogger died of a black mamba bite during a live stream. Unfortunately in Russia there is no antidote to the bite of this snake.
czcams.com/video/VPJbbfem-Ok/video.html
@@user-kp9se1df1y Wow, we did not know that! Sad story, but when feeling threatened, a Black mamba will defend itself.
Samuel, have you been face to face with them? Come on man.
I thought I must be going deaf when the video started and my ears were not accosted by head-splitting electronic dance music. Finally, somebody gets it -- the only soundtrack nature needs is the one it produces. Birds, the wind, the rustle of leaves and all the rest of its beautiful sound. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!! We were surprised that there more and more people like you who enjoy the sound of nature!
Another great video guys thanks
Thank you very much!!!
I think this Chanel deserves more subs. I subbed
Thank you very much!!!
Their Camouflage is Amazing
We agree!
Good eyes to find them.
Incredible!! 😊🖤
Thank you so much!!! 😊
Truly magnificent creatures!! I think I favor the Jameson's Mamba.. Nice color contrast and such intelligent looking snakes. You guy's truly make MAGNIFICENT footage for us to enjoy. Keep up the GREAT work. 👍👍
Thank you so much for watching!!! We are glad that you like the quality of the footage :) And Jameson's mamba is also our favourite!
These are some beautiful snakes.
We agree with you! Mambas are stunningly beautiful snakes!
I love Mamba snake so much but iam so scared of them, they r so beautiful though
They are beautiful and can be scary, but this video shows that if you approach them slowly and you don't scare them they will not attack you. In fact, in most cases, they flee away.
@@LivingZoology the thing is i dont have the courage of even be near them, i will only love watching them in your channel, or on tv, or any other channel but not seing them eye to eye, i will be dead for sure😤😤, let me love them by see them on internet. 🤗🤗🤗
@@husnatgamaah1335 Oh of course, it is totally ok to admire them on the internet!! :) :) We just wanted to say that even when you see them they just slither away, so they are not evil as many people think :)
Beautiful video! I couldn’t help but wonder, does a professional snake catcher have a lot of trouble getting life insurance?
Thank you so much!!! It is not so difficult, either you have a normal one and don't mention working with snakes or there are even special insurance products for risky jobs.
y
Beautiful and insightful footage!
Thank you so much!
Absolutely loved the natural sounds along with the video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
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.
You are right, the bad reputation of venomous snakes is created by snake handlers and people who present wildlife documentaries about snakes. And we want to do it differently and present the truth.
@@LivingZoology There are so many films about snakes, spiders and crocodiles, with dramatic music, and actors from Hollywood. But there aren't that many films about peaceful dotterels. Wonder why!
That Jamesons looks a bit like a Boomslang apart from the eyes
There will be a video about Boomslang too! Check our channel and you will see the differences :)
Beautiful snakes, beautiful video.
Thank you so much!
Beautifully shot video... Thank you. 👍
Thank you very much for watching!!! :)
As far I know, black mamba has ta most potent venom and mortality rate of it's bite is more than 95% and responsible for most of the bite in Africa.
The one more reason for it's bad reputation is it's speed 😀
Actually the black mamba has the third most toxic venom behind the Inland taipan and the Eastern brown
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.
Black Mamba has the 5th most toxic venom, but it is more dangerous the the ones with more potent venom.
@@cobbsta88 The key point would be the Mamba usually bites multiple times. It puts more venom in you than any other snake and no, people in Australia do not survive black Mamba bites. It has nothing to do with universal healthcare lol.
Most people who get bit die. That goes for many other venomous snakes. The few people who survive Mamba bites have limbs amputated.
@@infozone9601 there are no black mambas in Australia, but we survive far more potent bites due to the availability of antivenom and first aid. South Africa doesn't have Australia's health care system and access to free antivenom
Love this. Beautiful creatures superbly captured on film
