This is a sighting for the books! A black mamba vs a dwarf mongoose - what a breathtaking occasion for us as we sat and watched the cheeky mongoose toying with the most deadly snake in South Africa. Mongooses are known to eat snakes, but this seemed like rather a challenge for the smallest mongoose working on its own to approach the mamba. Incredible moment in the wild Timbavati Nature Reserve. And for those who are dying to know the result - both walked away unscathed at the end of the day. It was a draw!
