http://Ojatro.comhttp://Ojatroblog.blogspot.comBlack mambas, when not hungry or agitated, are very curious animals, always keeping a keen eye on their surroundings. It is not uncommon for a non hungry mamba to move into close proximity of a potential prey animal, like the young rat in this video and investigates with extrema curiosity. The young rat is quit unaware of the danger it is in, hence, it acts calm and even playfully bouncing between the tree and the deadly snake. The mamba seems to pick up and follows the rat higher into the tree without attacking the small rodent. The Black Mamba simply turns around and moves on after its curiosity has been satisfied. Regardless, such behavior is rare and I was extremely lucky to have captured the incident on camera.In general, black mambas feed mostly on smaller warm blooded mammals, such as rats, mice, hyraxes and even bushbabies. These snakes are agile enough to ambush and catch birds and bats out of the air and do so frequently in trees or near water holes. Mambas do feed occasionally on other reptiles, such as lizards and venomous snakes, including puff adders and cobras. After ingestion, powerful acids digest the prey, sometimes within eight to 12 hours depending on its surrounding temperature. Curious Black Mamba playing with a young rat was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in 2009.The black mamba, deadly, venomous snakes serpientes mortales, la mamba negro, cobras mortais, a mamba negra, смертельной змеи, черная мамба, tödliche Schlangen, die Schwarze Mamba, 致命的蛇，黑曼巴, งูมฤตยูดำ Mamba, 致命的なヘビ、ブラックマンバ, घातक साँप, काले एक प्रकार का अफ्रिकान साँप, rắn chết người, Mamba đen, nakamamatay snakes, ang black mamba, الثعابين القاتلة، ومامبا السوداء
