Deadly venomous Western green mamba from West Africa

[@owenunderwood5000]

Western Green Mamba is so distinctive by their head scales & black lining compared to Eastern Mamba & it’s amazing to hear they’re still abundant in the wild despite trade.

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, this species has amazing scales! Luckily it is still locally common.

[@rajeshrao5099]

Which country Western and eastern mamba mainly found?

[@LivingZoology]

@@rajeshrao5099 From Senegal to Togo in general 🙂

[@ARNash-uh2dj]

The scale lining looks very familiar to King cobra.... Such a cutie.... but can't be touched...😅😅

[@RM-mm4jr]

I wish everyone was as caring, kind and respectful to snakes (all animals) as both of you are. As always, an outstanding video by wonderful people. Thank you. 💖 From Australia

[@LivingZoology]

We wish the same and we try to be a good example! Thank you very much for your support and ❤️ from the Czech Republic!

So beautiful this snake is... love all mambas and the fact they are more closely related to king cobra makes them so much more graceful. Awesome shots @living zoology

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you for watching! Mambas are beautiful and intelligent, we love to work with them!

[@eoKingNoodle]

I take my turn around the cages showing these documentaries to all my kingsnakes on my phone when they're bored, they absolutely love them!

Thank you so much!

[@nassunarhania]

I just love this video, it shows the real situation when catching mambas, I remember the same situation more especially catching mambas, I can't just leave without talking about video quality is just magnificent.🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@LivingZoology]

Glad you enjoyed it and you like the video quality! :)

[@PhilipLongee-vw8jf]

The Black Mamba usually gets all the press mainly because of its size and aggression but I prefer the Western Green Mamba due to its beautiful color and scale texture with more laid back disposition making it a great photo subject. Thanks.

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you for watching! Working with Western green mambas was awesome 🙂

[@chonqmonk]

I was playing with snakes just yesterday, but they were nothing like a Green Mamba, well, except for being more beautiful than even the greatest art. They're called Red Bellies, they're nonvenomous, only about a foot long, and some of them are really mellow, some of them even seem to like being handled -maybe because of radiant mammal warmth, or maybe they're just friendly, I don't know... I kept a few snakes growing up, but as an adult decided that snakes are much better off in the wild. I have a great dog now. All my favorite snakes to visit in the wild are the nonvenomous, non-bitey, and non-musk stinkers out there. If the snake doesn't wanna be messed with, I pretty much leave'm alone or just get them safely off the road. Thanks for the awesome video; you guys are great!

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you very much for watching our video! Great that you had some nice time finding Red bellies! We agree that snakes are better off in the wild :) It is awesome that you get snakes off the road!

[@douglasstemke2444]

Beautiful photography and an incredible snake!

[@LivingZoology]

How did you film the clip at 2:35? Was it just hand-holding the camera?

[@oscarzambello3533]

Just my opinion. You are the Top in Snakes living zoology.

[@markboyle9941]

Thanks for another fascinating documentary. Wonderful snakes. How do they rank in terms of intelligence when compared to the black mambas and king cobras?

[@LivingZoology]

Thanks for watching! All mambas are very intelligent snakes and they are closely related to the King cobra.

[@nicholasMcGadden]

Such an amazing species

[@LivingZoology]

We absolutely agree! Thanks for watching!

[@welshskies]

Wonderful photography. These creatures should be left in wild.

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you! We hope that we showed locals that they should protect wild animals in their country.

[@johnbrand1893]

Beautiful snake. Who was the female biologist?

[@LivingZoology]

Thanks for watching! Zuzana is the co-founder of Living Zoology, together with me, her husband Matej :)

[@kathybradbury]

I share your frustration regarding in how the locals took over what was meant to be research and observation of the animal in its home without stress. Language barriers and local folklore can be tough to overcome.

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, the cultural and language barriers are sometimes a problem. Thank you for watching!

[@Blue_Lugia]

Was this filmed during your visit in Togo?

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, it was!

[@TheTrueBhartiya8888]

Check out the video carefully, the information is there 😉

[@tylergoldstein]

@@LivingZoology I watched it all, and you say multiple counties where they are found, but I don’t see you mention where you guys were. I know their range, I was just curious where you guys found them.

[@victorcarbino8736]

What is a "cardiotoxin"? Is it a neurotoxin that somehow targets the heart? And what do these "local snake hunters" typically do with the snakes they catch?

[@LivingZoology]

Cardiotoxins destroy the heart tissue. Typically, local snake hunters catch snakes and sell them to keepers abroad.

It seems that his tail is longer than the black mamba

[@LivingZoology]

These mambas have long tails, yes! But Black mambas have very long tails too as they also climb a lot.

[@LivingZoology]

Thanks for watching!

[@indyreno2933]

You got the scientific name of the western green mamba completely wrong, its correct scientific name is actually Dendronaja viridis.

[@LivingZoology]

Send us a scientific paper about Dendronaja and let’s see who’s wrong 😀

[@indyreno2933]

Mambas more correctly constitute the subfamily Dendroaspidinae with five extant species under three genera, with the Dendroaspis genus now being restricted to only the jameson's mamba and black-tailed mamba, which are now separated species scientifically named Dendroaspis jamesoni and Dendroaspis kaimosae respectively, whereas the green mambas and black mamba both belong to two separate genera with the black mamba constituting the monotypic genus Melanophis, where its scientific name is now Melanophis polylepis and the two species of green mamba being the eastern green mamba and western green mamba both constitute the genus Dendronaja, where their scientific names are now Dendronaja angusticeps and Dendronaja viridis respectively.

[@danieladen361]

Why do you always have to catch the snakes? I liked your channel better when it was just beautiful footage of snakes in the wild. Now it seems like there's more people than snakes in your videos.

[@LivingZoology]

Getting our footage requires gentle work with the snake, only sometimes we can film amazing footage in situ. We are showing behind the scenes of our work. Apart from that and rescue videos, there is still just the snake footage on our channel.

[@shirish.pokharel]

Your videos are good , really like them. But don't go around people and act almighty right fool in their expense. If you can teach them great else don't work with them at all instead of being passive aggressive to them There's a reason they are doing what they are doing, people have died. At the end of the day, it's your passion that makes your living not so high in my eye. Great videos nonetheless. One of the best out there.

[@LivingZoology]

Thanks for watching our videos. We are not aggressive to anyone, we just don’t like when people hurt animals and things can be done differently. We showed locals in Togo how to safely use a hook, gave them proper training session.

[@shirish.pokharel]

@@LivingZoology oh no not aggressive, I said passive aggressive. You guys are great otherwise. Just think of this as a fan mail. I am telling you where you could do better. Thanks for what you do seriously.
