Lelo Chili was watching out of his bed room window in South Africa just recently when he spotted something agonizing around his yard.

Chili was taking a look at a brawl in between 2 enormous black mambas, a video shared on Facebook by snake rescuer Nick Evans revealed. Evans explained the fight as “one of the most spectacular snake sightings one could possibly wish for.”

The video reveals the enormous reptiles linked with one another as they crawl through the lawn. Every couple of seconds, they a little different, as they rear their heads back prior to knocking into one another once again.

Male black mambas don’t bite one another when they battle, according to Evans. Instead, they battle till one surrenders. In this case, the longer of the 2 snakes kept pinning the smaller sized snake down for a couple of seconds at a time.

Evans said the snakes were contesting a female, which is normal habits as this time of year is mating season. The female snake was most likely concealed in a close-by bush throughout the fumbling match.

After identifying the snakes, Chili called a snake rescuer, Duncan Slabbert, who concerned help in catching the snakes, according to Evans. The animals battled for an overall of about 35 minutes to 40 minutes prior to the smaller sized snake gave up and Slabbert captured both animals.

Once Slabbert captured the snakes, he and Evans determined and weighed them both. The longer of the 2 animals had to do with 8.5 feet long while the much shorter snake was simply over 8.2 feet long, Evans said.

“It’s been an exceptionally quiet mamba mating season so far, well, certainly from my perspective. So I was pleased to see this, although I’d much preferred to have witnessed it in person,” Evans composed on Facebook.

Social media users shared responses to the fight.

“I had several cold shivers rush through me and now I need to sit down,” someone discussed Evans’ video.

“I’m sitting in my garden in London and just put my feet up on the chair,” another individual discussed the Facebook post.

“I would’ve died and gone to heaven if I’d seen that through my window,” a 3rd Facebook user commented.

Chili resides in Escombe, Queensburgh, on the southeast coast of South Africa and about 350 miles from Johannesburg.
