The Black Mamba is the most common and feared snake in Africa, locals here even compare their bite to the ”kiss of death”.

The video posted shows a startling scene when a black mamba snake attacks a lion lying on the ground, seemingly dead.

It is unheard of for black mamba snakes to attack dead animals, but in this case, the black mamba snake is very hungry and it is looking for prey.

While resting near a bush, the lioness was suddenly injured by a black mamba snake with a fatal bite. After being bitten by a snake for a while, the lion left his position stunned. Meanwhile, the black mamba snake quietly waits for death to come with its large prey.

Unexpectedly, just a few hours after being poisoned, the “lord of the grasslands” died. Even though the lioness was dead, the snake still followed and attacked continuously with bites to make sure the animal could no longer survive.
