TL;DR Summary

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. Instead, they engage in wrestling matches to demonstrate strength and stamina. Snakes possess immunity to their own species' venom, which helps protect them during combat rituals.
