Black mamba and green mambas - the most feared venomous snakes of Africa, but are they so deadly? 

This is hands down one of the best videos out there. No crazy unnecessary music... Just the birds singing.

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.

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.

No talking straight information and beautiful noises in the background. Great video.

Jameson’s Mambas are my favorite. Their color is amazing.

i love how relaxing this video is and very educational.

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.

That is some very impressive video. The Eastern Green is a jewel.

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.

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

Beautiful sounds. I love it when their tongues go really slow and they leave it out of their mouths. So adorable.

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!!

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.

Smooth absorbing nature footage, no drama, how a nature channel should be.

Two points: 1) Best Mamba footage hands down. 2) I couldn't ever sleep in Durban.

Great video; awesome snakes, pure natural sound!! 5 stars!

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!

I love all your videos, no annoying music. Give us a great opportunity to see these beautiful creatures.

Excellent video, I love the forest sounds! and thank you for saving that snake, they are so misunderstood!

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.

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.

The wild life is relaxing. I need to spend most of the time there and away from these rude people in cities and towns

9:57 Mamba: OK, bro, I opened my mouth! What, you still don't let me go?

Absolutely legendary. Thank you.

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

So glad that you show people that mambas just want to be left alone to do what mambas do, live free and unmolested....

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!

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.

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 so very much for your gentle and elegant story of the Mamba Family. Hats off to you!

What a beautiful species of snake one of my favorites I love all snakes but we must protect and conserve them safely.

Awesome as always. I especially enjoyed the Puff Adder sequence.

Can’t wait! Its my birthday than😊

Excellent and educational. More like this pls.

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

Great video, very similar in appearance to the brown snake here in Australia which also has an unwarranted reputation

Their Camouflage is Amazing

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 👍

Beautiful video! I couldn’t help but wonder, does a professional snake catcher have a lot of trouble getting life insurance?

These are some beautiful snakes.

ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL! Thank you so much for share this video. ❤️

Kept Black Mamba for five years-most interesting and inquisitive snake in my collection! Awesome video and messaging, thanks for sharing!

I love Mamba snake so much but iam so scared of them, they r so beautiful though

This was so soothing and relaxing. Wonderful nature and apex predators enjoying their freedom. Great video!👏👏👏

Eagerly awaiting this with anticipation...however what about the western green mamba ?

Grea channel, thank you for lettig the sound of nature be heard. Birds singing, beautyfull. Cheers from Croatia

Incredible!! 😊🖤

I dunno where these snakes are from but here in South Africa, our snakes are crazy , super fast, super aggressive, super wild.These snakes look extremely calm.

That Jamesons looks a bit like a Boomslang apart from the eyes

I'm from Bangladesh. And I really do appreciate you guys. Amazing documentary! Thanks, guys.

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 😀

this is the most educative video i ever have seen..I hope they make such a video of different vipers and snakes we have in africa

Oh fuck I live there☹

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.

This Great film makers are the top of the top in nature information..the quality of the footage is awesome

THE SOUND OF NATURE..... JUST THE SOUND IS AMAZING.

Ce derait sympa de traduite en français..... 😉 Super émission 🥰👍

Eastern green mamba is beautiful with its bright green color. It hides itself behind the green forest as predators for feeding. By the way, this species is the same family of cobra, isn’t it?

Jameson's mamba is my favorite of the 4. I think they're also more relaxed not as twitchy as the black mamba. Hopefully soon you can go film the western green mamba. Highly respected 🐍

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. 👍👍

As ignorant as I may look I didn't know there were green mambas! Wow, they're beautiful! Thank you for these videos

This was an excellent video, no talking just the sounds of nature and beautiful snakes, the scenery was gorgeous. Thank you, a snake video that finally gets it right!

Great informative vid !👏👏👏👏!!Snakes are beautiful and they deserve our respect !!! If u don't want snakes near you please Don't Destroy thier Enviorment Homes !!! Especially in thw case 9f Black mamba which usually had a permanent base !!! How wonderful !!!💛🐍💚

Buen reportaje. Serio y objetivo. Saludos desde México

Beautiful snakes, beautiful video.

Black/green mamba vs king cobra the great fight 👊✊👍👌

This is stunning footage thank you so much

Really good, worth watching 100 times.

Thank you for uploading the video and for the accuracy of the facts about these feared snakes. It's really wonderful.😊

Mambas are a fantastic species. Judging by the fact that Black Mambas sometimes live in peoples houses, it seems to me they only bite if you attack them. Although juvenile Black Mambas might just be a little bit more nervous and bite you.

I'm confused....where's the voiceover saying, "These DEADLY snakes are on a KILLER mission, climbing the tree of DESTRUCTION"

I think the black mamba's reputation is more for their venom than their speed and fatalities. they have EXTREMELY neurotoxic venom which could kill an untreated adult in under 30 minutes. 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!!!!

Love this. Beautiful creatures superbly captured on film

Mamba are really beautiful... that streamlined head

Love black mambas, so powerful but cute:)

Growing up in South Africa we should find the black and green mamba so often, now you hardly see them.

I don't think Mambas deserve a bad reputation but as a South African, we definitely give them a lot of respect

Absolutely loved the natural sounds along with the video!

Fantastic n Quality HD video!

Gorgeous creatures.

I'm moving from the USA to the middle of the bush, near Amboseli, Kenya. I've done videos and taken pictures with many of the snakes there. 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.

The green Mamba is gorgeous! And so is this footage

excellent video

Just wondering, the beauty of your all videos should have/millions/ billions views.... why in thousnads ???

So sweet video

Man I love all your videos. Look at how crystal clear the footage is. My favourite colour is green to and this is superb 🙏🏼😎

Great video. No talking. I appreciate that.

Excellent job educational and professional... but there was one more mamba that you didn't show I gather...is it that elusive??

Another great video guys thanks

As always some very good content the shoots are so good eye candy..

Green Mambas is a beautiful snake. I love the green and its skin textures... If im Medusa, i want all snake on my head is the green mambas...🤣

Mambas are fierce snakes because of the combination of speed and venom more potent than a phillipine cobra

Another excellent video! Thank you for choosing to go with the simple, informative text commentary backed up by the natural sounds of the bush instead of an overbearing, self- serving audio track!

I love mambas so mutch..my Favorite snakes of all snakes

Very good videography 👌🏼

Photography is too good Absolutely loved ur work

Beautiful photography........thank you so much.

Relaxing footage! Idk how when it’s about mambas lmao.

The quality of video is just awsome

Eastern greens are hands down my favorite i love their emerald green colouration plus their timid disposition unless provoked
