Giosuè Spinosa was out on safari when he witnessed this incredible moment. Giosuè shared his rare footage and story with LatestSightings.com.
When days on safari seem boring and not much is to be seen, it is always a good idea to visit the closest water source or river to look at what you can find. On this particular day, Giosuè headed to the Shingwedzi River in the northern sections of the Kruger National Park. After waiting and scanning the sand banks for any movement, something caught his eye-it was a snake!
Lifting his binoculars and taking a closer look revealed that this was one of Africa’s deadliest snakes. It was a black mamba. The snake was moving along a patch of dry river sand, making its way to the water's edge. The speed at which it was moving led him to think that the snake was not going just for a drink but perhaps was looking to cross the river.
The Shingwedzi River is a river that is filled with crocodiles and hippos. The hippos that were not too far off did not even notice the snake. However, the group of crocodiles that were basking in the morning sun picked up the Mambas movement almost immediately. One of them, who was closest to the snake, rushed off and tried to catch it.
The snake, however, was not only too fast but also too agile for the slow crocodile; it just moved out of the way with a quick turn, and the crocodile snapped its jaws, catching nothing but a gasp of air. The snake was now free to make a run for it! It quickly got into the water and began gliding on the surface with lightning speed, moving in different directions so that no crocodile that was lurking could even have a chance at catching it!
The rest of the crocodiles watched from the bank as the snake made its way successfully over the crocodile-infested river. But it was far from over; the snake unfortunately chose the wrong exit route from the river. It was hard to get out of the water in a really clay and muddy area. This slowed the snake down as it was struggling to move in the thick sludge that was at the water edge.
Seeing the snakes struggle and the opportunity for a meal, one of the crocs got into the water and swam across as fast as he could. As soon as he got onto dry land, he went straight for the snake, not fearing the highly toxic and deadly venom. He knew the snake fangs could do him no harm with his thick leather skin!
The croc grabbed the snake with one swift bite and swung it around, trying to kill it. This commotion drew the attention of a fish eagle that was perched on the banks of the river. When the eagle saw that it was a black mamba and a crocodile having it out, it made the wise decision and left without making an attempt to steal the crocs meal.
The crocodile, at this point, bit through the snake and killed it. The easy part was done; now came the hard part: eating the snake before the other crocs could steal it. The croc made a run for it, and with the snake hanging from his mouth, he rushed back to the safety of the water to swallow his hard-earned meal whole.

That eagle really showed up like:
"You're not gonna eat that are you ??"
The eagle had the bushveld equivalent of fugu. Raw thinly sliced puffer fish can be just as deadly as an amputated snake head, which can still bite. But there are always those who want the thrill of a potentially deadly snack, I guess.
I think it was snake poo and not snake head.
Either way, it was definitely snake DEAD
😂
😅😅😅...@jeffreybrewer8649, that's exactly what I thought the eagle was saying.
Black mamba: the power of toxic venom.
Nile crocodile: the power of lethal jaws.
Delete this shit
And scale armor
😂😂😂
Delete this sh*t
And the shakes.
Unforunately the croc found the mamba’s only weakness , getting the shit beat out of him
That’s the sort of croc I like 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine thinking you're the most badass creature alive, and a few days later you're crocodile poo. It's a tough world out there.
😂👏🙌🏼
@@brandonfoisy8736 Crocodiles aren't invincible. The further inland it goes, the more vulnerable it becomes. This mamba just happens to be at the wrong place and the wrong time. The mamba's chances improves if they both were situated around dense trees, grass, and woods. It's only chance is to attack the croc's underbelly where it's more vulnerable.
@@jcpenny3606cope
@@jcpenny3606 isn't that how every living creature becomes food, being in the wrong place at the wrong time? 😂😂
@@jcpenny3606 >> a complete rocket science
From the video it looks like the mamba’s head got torn off of the body due to the intensity of being shook like that.
yes, it was completely torn apart. opportunist fish eagle spotted a piece and grabbed it right at the end.
0:25 literally torn apart
At least its head had the chance to escape
I swear it does My Friend😂😂😂
No buddy,, lizards and i think snakes can just drop off its tails when under attack as a way of defence
Remember that horrifying Planet Earth video of the one lizard running across the beach pursued by hundreds of snakes? This is the revenge of the lizards!
Apparently lizards are more related to snakes than crocodiles 🤷♂️
They grew up?
@@Maruragakari yeah snakes really are just lizards without legs.
crocs are closer to birds than to lizards.
By far the creepiest video ever 😂 The saltwater iguana right?
Chasing Iguanas
That bird is the perfect opportunist
most predators are..
I am always amazed by the wildlife footage on this channel!
THEY NEED BETTER CAMERA
I think they're paying you to send your footage to them. Not all is theirs
@@rick6672 I know, but the footage captured and shown on the channel is always interesting.
@@rick6672 doesn't stop the footage from being amazing and not clickbaiting
You're right some of the video is is incredible. But some of it is just damn right brutal. Again I still can't get that lion out of my head after it got bit by mamba that was rough
I'm constantly being surprised by the intelligence of the crocodillian species. The way it employs different tactics to hunt and kill various prey items is impressive.
Yes, there's a reason why they outlived the dinosaur
Wits or will power😂😂
Better title: Black Mamba Gets Torn Apart by Crocodile.
fun fact, in Swahili crocodiles are called Mamba
yes,then it is mamba eating mamba 😁
@@askywalker191 ha! XD
Real Mamba eating a snakes named black Mamba 😂
@@abdilnas7563 yup
In Zulu mamba means snake hence the name Black mamba
Black mamba sped up when he saw that croc 😂
Not fast enough
@tonystarksopranomd 🤗
Yep! But it still got caught!🐍🐊 Croc said, I got cha, u thought u got away But I got cha!

+200% Speed
KING CROC: +10,000% DEATH JAW
Croc ate all them percentages and deleted them 😂
The mamba could have escaped, she can slither faster than crocodile, probably thought it was out of danger
yup. got away from the first croc, missed the second.
Lesson:never put too much trust in self😂
As someone who's terrified of Mambas (isn't everyone? they're literally one of the most venomous snakes) I feel sorry for this one. It thought it was safe when it got onto land.
😢
I felt sorry as well during the shot, believe me. The mistake, I think, was going in the mud. If you watch exactly the shot, the mamba was captured in a very big hole of mud. To difficoult for her to get out of there. Poor animal.
Water or land big lizards(which crocs are) will win against any venomous snake.Snakes aren't normally sharp at combats ask a mere mongoose, let alone a badger.😊
I don’t understand how she couldn’t get out of the mud hole?
Landing a good bite on that Nile Crocodile would’ve been practically impossible for this Black Mamba.
The mamba is trans. The croc is a fobe
Even on the mamba’s best shot , the croc’s skin is far to thick to pierce
@@TransKidsMafia😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@TransKidsMafiayou comment that same sht in the video of the 2 lions heating the other a few days ago
@@TransKidsMafia Don’t freaking care!
Fish Eagle: "-Well, hi there!"
The eagle arrived late
The late eagle does not get the snake
A late bird 😂
But it got a piece, watch closely.
@@Advfox_sa Exactly.From the first bite of the crocodile
Bushveld fugu.
Am I the only one wondering if a croc has ever died from being bit by a black mamba? 😂
Yup, one lived to tell the tale
I think snakes are pretty blind ,so trying to access soft penetrable skin is difficult
only way the mamba could get its fangs to penetrate would be if he bit it on the tongue. don't think the croc gave it that chance.
I’ve got no sympathy for that Mamba, they’re twats.
“We did not penetrate the enemy armor”
“Ricochet”
“We didn’t even scratch them”
Are gonna be the only things Black mamba hear
At least the world is one less black mamba free.
Crocks kill more people than the black mamba be afraid of crocodiles.
@@davidbarasa3000I don't think so, black mambas kill more people than crocodiles, they should be eliminated in the nature.
0:30
Bird like “da hell is going on here” 🤔😐
Now that’s a damn rare sighting
Never seen before!!
Yes! infact, the time I was there ( 8 months ) I met many rangers and wildilfe experts and all told me that they never see a crocodile killing and eating a black mamba. I was a lucky cameraman!
Which camera did you use ? @@giosuespinosa8805
Black Mamba: "Be warned, mortal. I AM the feared Black Mamba. My name alone is synonymous with dea-"
Crocodile: NUMNUMNUMNUMNUMNUM!!!! mmmm good.
The fish eagle wanted a piece...
Later the fish eagle caught the crocodile
@@AdmiringFarmhouse-yj5lz..before the croc was caught by the fish
@@AdmiringFarmhouse-yj5lz Only in your childish dreams. Only baby crocs upto 3 feet can get hunted by fish and martial eagles. Any bigger one and the eagle is dead if it doesn't flee.
Mamba: I bite
Croc: I crunch
Crocodile strength and power🐊🐊🐊❤️💪
Crocs are fearless,
I wonder how a Anaconda wound handle a Nile croc,
I know they live in different continents,, I just wonder..
I've seen a couple of videos of full grown Alligators fighting full grown Burmese Python in Florida, it's like Clash of the Titans.
Aint no damn way a anaconda no matter how large they are 6 meter or 7 meter can take a fully grown salty or nile croc. Large alligators take out large pythons also.@@marcossperezzy6281
Big crocodile always kill anconda@@marcossperezzy6281
Why u flexing tho?
I think the snake's guts flew outta its mouth during that shakedown
Blessed enough to see this kind of thing (predictors and prey) quite often. The South African outback is beauty at its best

Africa, has always had the best wildlife!
@@hawkeye6626Lisa Ann always said the same especially about the African BBC's
Not only did the croc live with the dinosaurs but it ate them, so what chance did the poor mamba had!
Have u seen a croc eat a dinosaur???? Just asking😂😂😂😂

@@carolmcgaghey6112 you had me in stitches 🤣🤣🤣
Crocs have body armor with scutes, osteoderms, and tough, thick dorsal skin making them resistant to the venom of the largest cobra or black mamba
One crunch from a crocodile is lethal.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That was unbelievable! AWESOME VIDEO!
its like someone with a poison gun versus a tank :D
Africa is a land of extremes, keep up the great work!..
I would much rather live in Africa and their critters versus Australia and all those critters
Damn that is a rare right for sure 🎉
Never would've thought of an encounter like that
Mamba exists, and the croc took that personally.
That Nile croc must have some skill to not get bitten by one of Africa's most toxic snakes
No skill required. He knows the snake can't pierce his skin.
True
Skill or Scale.
Amazing, I would never have expected an encounter between these two reptiles!
That 🐦 was like leave me some crumbs😂😂😂
A part of black mamba was thrown away after it got brutally trashed around. The eagle got its piece.
Kinda shoking.
Snake disrespects size, disrespects territory, and proceeds into water.
I wonder why the croc didn't chase the snake in the water, and whether croc understands that drowning a snake might be a more dangerous way to kill it.
Rly cool, seldom seen interaction. Croc rly gunning for it at the end there.
That's one spicy noodle
This channel is amazing👏you see footage that’s actually described on the title. If this was another channel, this would’ve been clickbait 💯
Appreciate the comments showing compassion for the poor mamba

Very interesting this particular snake stay in the river, wow
which camera do u use for ahooting brothwr
Crock : it's a black mamba? So what? Any moving objects are my meal.
The sound of the zoom though! Who filmed this video…….was it Robocop??!!
What kind of bird was that on the left? I know it's not a bald eagle but it looks like a bald eagle 😅
African fish eagle
@@Latestsightings Who wore it best? Lol.
@@apollofell3925I think the bald eagle looks more impressive and bigger but the African eagle looks beautiful with its brown fur.
Black mamba fangs are like hypodermic needles.. they are long and thin. Very potent venom but fangs are delicate..They can't generate crocodile armor unless like a lucky eye strike.. it was good as gone.. the fish eagle that showed up already also had that mamba invitation sights so either way.. it made a huge mistake going in the open...
Mamba's mistake was going up on land. Should have stayed in the water. Had a better chance outswimming the croc.
Salamat may bagong video Iloveu guys ingat po palagi
Not many animals can transform a black mamba into a snack…
true.
A real shame the zoom motor made so much noise... awesome video, nice bat sound until the zoom motor ruins it...
Aww man I don’t even like snakes but poor thing was running for it’s life. 🌹
Haha todos os videos sobre natureza vejo os seus comentários
CLEARLY the Eagle 🦅 had “Birds eye view” and wanted to ask a quick? ... You need a hand with that? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
What kind of camera is used to film this? I want to buy one. Is it a bridge one?
That's the fastest I ever seen a croc move on land....
The bird swooping in was the best part of the video. 😂😂😂
Can you guys invest in some 4k cameras please. your channel is amazing.
These clips are submitted by people around the world.
The absolute state of this comment
these videos are footage from many people sending it to this channel to post them
@@AuroraBoost😂
Damnnn. I wonder how venom works… when you ingest it is it fine? I know it’s not the same as poison but lol black mambas are notoriously venomous but their fangs can’t penetrate the crocs skin
Yea , exactly , generally venoms will have little to no effect unless they are injected directly into the blood
Wish someone can come here and explain this properly
On the basic level , the only way venom can work is if it's injected directly into the blood, with a fang or stinger
If touched ,swallowed , or anything else, it will have little to no effect
Yeah, you can injest venom and you will be fine, it's not poisonous as long as you don't have cuts on the way to the stomach.
This is mamba, so an elapid related to cobras, and they have neurotoxic venom, that blocks the synapses between neurons, which stop them from being able to transmit information, and that leads to paralysis,
Bird: "Hey bro, can I have this bit that fell off?"
Bout as good as the clip of the grizzly getting owned by the crocodile in Lake Placid!
這條只是沒有毒液的水蛇， 不是黑曼巴
Imagine being stuck in the mud and a crocodile wobbling towards you, worst nightmare
How old is that camera?
RIP black mamba
Mamba meets its match here.
Croc and gator chiropractors: yes, we are the best in the world.
Looks to me like the mamba may have gotten a bit in. That croc sure is slowing down towards the end of the video.
Eagle be like: "Hey, we be the only two mofos out here that can kill that thing without dying, now whip off another chunk of that snakemeat fo me."
If the Black Looked back and saw the incoming danger it could have escaped easily as they one of the most fastest Snakes out there , but unfortunately it never did , and it never did it against a freaking Crocodile 🤦♀️
a battle as old as the ashes and we're here to witness it but for a brief moment
Crocodile is the real beast of wild life
That’s one intense fight!
Better calling his constructing nephew ,mister Anaconda to save his ass!!
That’s a huge mamba too!
Bravo le croco tu est courageux, moi j'ai horreur des serpents 🐍 🫣
Kobe!
Reptile on Reptile crime is going strong
The eagle was trying his luck😂
Another one bites the dust literally 😂
That shaking is a 10.5 on the Richter scale 😮
You hear the go away bird in the background lol

Does poision doesn't affect
That eagle was like .. fuk u dude that was my meal
Croc: oh sorry I thought it's first come first serve 🚶🚶🚶
I sees I beats I eats
- Mr. Crocodile
Looks like crocs are immune to the poison.
Hi there! Mr. FakChex here.
Venom and poison are 2 different things.
Snakes are venomous meaning their bodies are not toxic, only their bite. Like a scorpion sting.
Frogs are poisonous meaning the flesh of the animal can kill. Also many plants.
TaTa🤓
Thank you 😂😂😂@@leonpretorius3678
@@leonpretorius3678🤗 Very Informative!!Thanks Mr FakChex!🤓
Do you even know crocodiles have armour? Black mamba can never penetrate it. Besides, the croc was trashing it around with such impact that it cannot even turn around.
Even mongooses have problems dealing with adult black mambas simply because of sheer size, but a croc or a honey badger would easily eat them
When it do eat it with the amount if venom inside will that kill croc
Crocodile: where do you think you’re going my darling 😂.
Imagine crocs now still going after land for kills...
The croc got it's own antidote
whoa! this is incredible
Crocodile: "fastest reptile, huh?" Nom nom nom
One bite from crocodile is always game over
