Deadly Duel: Venomous Black Mambas Clash in Backyard Brawl

Two giant black mambas, highly venomous snakes over 8 feet long, were filmed engaging in a fierce wrestling match in a backyard in South Africa. The larger snake attempted to pin down the smaller one, which eventually surrendered and moved away. The snakes were likely fighting over a female during mating season. Black mambas are known for their venomous bites, but they do not bite each other during fights. This behavior, known as "plaiting combat," is a demonstration of stamina and physical strength rather than chemical warfare. Snakes possess immunity towards their own species' venom, which helps protect them during combat rituals.
