Durban snake handler Nick Evans and his friend Carl Schloms got a bit of a fright while releasing a black mamba back into the wild - the snake decided to give them a feisty farewell.
Evans told News24 the male mamba was just a little feisty.
"It was a warning from a ticked-off snake, that just wanted to be back in the bush," he explained.
"I had been working with the snake the previous day, taking measurements, and he was wild - a bit livelier than most other mambas," Evans said.
The mamba was caught on the North Coast and was with Evans for two days before being set free.
