A mongoose showed off it’s speed and agility as it fought a ferocious battle with a venomous snake. Physically, a mongoose might be quite small, but they makes up for this with their tenacity. This one forced a snake into a pitched battle on the H1-3 in the Kruger National Park.
Wessel, a safari goer, caught the fight on camera three kilometers from Satara and sent it in to Latest Sightings. Snakes are known for their speed and lightning-fast strikes, but mongooses are no slouch, making this an even match
The snake, a puff adder, is incredibly dangerous. It has strong venom, and causes a high number of human deaths across the African continent, but that means less to the mongoose than one might expect.
