The mongoose dragged the poisonous serpent on the tree to eat meat

In spite of the venom of the black mamba snake, the mongoose patiently bites his neck and drags the dangerous prey dangling from the tree to the ground.

Delia Bronkhorst saw the mongoose jumping up and biting a snake longer than it was many times hanging on a tree when visiting Kruger National Park, South Africa, in June, according to National Geographic. Bronkhorst's video showed that the snake caught the tree with its head hanging upside down. The mongoose repeatedly snapped the neck and pulled it down, causing the snake's head to bleed.

Civet jumps and bites a snake longer than it is many times hanging from a tree.

According to Bronkhorst, the incident lasted nearly 5 minutes, so long that she stopped filming and thought that mongoose could not pull the prey to the ground successfully. When Bronkhorst and her mother were about to drive, the snake fell.

However, the mother and daughter Bronkhorst could not see the mongoose's next action. The grass grows too high and they are not allowed to change direction. But they were convinced that the mongoose had eaten the prey."It's an incredible sight. They're really scary little animals , " Bronkhorst said.

When the staff at Kruger shared the park's video on the YouTube channel, they wrote the mongoose swinging the snake as if playing with it."I think the mongoose is clearly trying to hunt snakes. Most mongoose species kill and eat snake meat, so that's not unusual," said Jennifer Sanderson, a professor at the University of Exeter, England. Researching mongoose for many years, sharing.

Kathleen Alexander, a professor at the Virginia Institute of Technology and National Geographic explorer, shared the same opinion. According to Alexander, the mongoose in Bronkhorst's video is like Selous, often hunting alone and the dead snake is poisonous black mamba. Other mongoose hunts and even defends against enemies by gathering together.

Black mamba snakes can be found on violent trees and mongoose that often hunt these dangerous snakes by climbing behind them. Most likely the snake in the video was killed by a civet on the tree before it began to attempt to pull the corpse to the ground.

Although the famous black mamba is an extremely poisonous species, mongoose always takes the upper hand in clashes. The mongoose possessing mutant cells can prevent the neurotoxin of the black mamba snake from entering the bloodstream, helping them to survive the snake's bite.
