You showed the sidewinder at night when it’s moving casually and sluggishly because it’s cooler. In the day time when the sand is too hot for the snake and the snake has a ton of energy from the heat it literally flings itself sideways then flings itself again as soon as they land about a foot away. With this it is the fastest snake in the world, going 18 MPH over long distances. This leaves very distinct S marks in the sand. The Cobra isn’t the fastest snake at all, but it is still fast and venomous which makes it very deadly.

"it pushes at the point at which it's body bends, propelling it sideways" but how does it push
Ankle break that mamba lol
Still not understanding
My mom worked in Sierra Leone in the mid-'60s as a Peace Corps volunteer and had a housecat to defend her against black mambas. Only problem was that when it caught one it would bring it back inside as a "gift," not quite dead.

I wonder black mamba claimed be that fast but no match for mongoose… ???

Snakes just don't chase people though, what would be the point? It can't eat you, you're a dangerous predator, and he's a coldblooded animal who's life goal is to conserve energy. Stop the fear mongering.

Learn life lessons from the animal kingdom….
Snakes move forward when using resistance when bending, but moves faster with non-resistance.
This is why Jesus' teachings of non-resistance are meant to benefit mankind.
theres a snake in our house my sister saw it 1:30 am she call hes husband and she saw it she call us she said its too long
If you can't outrun them, FIGHT them… You'll have a better chance at survival!
