A video of a black mamba trying to feast on unsuspecting chickens is causing a stir on social media and has left interesting reactions from the South Africans.
The video was captured and posted on Facebook by Nick Evans who is a snake rescuer, he says the video is a result of a combination of surveillance camera and GoPro footage.
In the video, titled 'Mamba and Roosters', the black mamba is seen invading a spot seemingly reserved for the chickens, but the serpent is seen looking for cover just as the rescuers arrive on the scene. Evans wrote on Facebook:
“A combination of surveillance camera and GoPro footage showing one of my most thrilling rescues in a while - with a few laughable moments, afterwards.
“A homeowner in the Bellair area had walked past a screen showing her surveillance camera angles when this large Black Mamba caught her eye! My friend and research partner, Dr. Cormac Price, happened to be with me that day, and the two of us rushed to the property. The catch was challenging, and at one point, electrifying.”

Evans is a well-known snake catcher and rescuer from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal, and has been in the business for six years, he has learned that the slithering serpents are actually more scared of us than we are of them.
