Haibo: Nick Evans catches 4th black mamba in the same room of a Durban home
In more news sure to leave you on the edge of your seat, Briefly News previously reported that KZN’s very own black mamba whisperer, Nick Evans, secured another brave catch, making it the fourth one in the very same room.
Sharing details of the rescue on his Facebook page, Evans said he had been called to a home in Moseley Park, Durban which he had previously been to last week where he picked up a black mamba that had been shot with a pellet gun.
“This time, it was an untouched mamba, thankfully! The large snake had slithered into a 'bird room'. It's the third or fourth I've caught in that room. I don't think it was happy I took it away from its many meals-to-be,” joked Evans.
