World Snake Day: Can you spot the camouflaged copperhead?
Let's play 'spot the snake' ...
4 years agoThis amazing and extremely rare video of two black mambas twisting in the road was filmed in South Africa's Kruger National Park. What you're seeing is more than likely a turf battle between two rival males. A female mamba is no doubt lurking in a tree nearby watching these two compete for mating rights. According to Shaun Bodington from Imhoff Snake Park in South Africa's Western Cape province, the snakes rarely get hurt in these encounters. "It's a bit like a sumo wrestling match," Bodington explains. "A bit of pushing and shoving and eventually the one with the biggest push wins. The other one will then go off in its own direction. They will never engage in biting." Be that as it may, this is one event that we're happy to view from a safe distance!
