Black mamba bites man praying at river, SA worried

Briefly News previously reported that a KZN man claimed that he suffered a snake bite from a dangerous viper. He alleged that one of the most venomous snakes struck him when he was at a river.

People were mortified by the man's encounter with a venomous snake. Nick Evans told Briefly News that certain details in the man's story contradicted a black mamba bite.

Online users were concerned about whether the 27-year-old would survive the bite. Many people speculated that a black mamba may not have bitten him because they are grey while the man described the snake that bit him as being large and black.
