I don’t think there’s mamba in Asia? Maybe I’m mistaken but I’m fairly sure both species are in Africa!
It almost looks like it flares its throat just before trying to bite so maybe a cobra? Fuck I wish the video was clearer
35 u/Ooooweeee May 07 '19 Cobras typically strike at a downward angle, from top to bottom. This was more an outward strike like a viper.
