EarthX Website: https://earthxmedia.com/   Unless you want to see black mambas regularly, I would avoid moving to Durban, South Africa. For snake catcher Nick Evans and his research team, it's the perfect place to study how black mambas have changed their behavior to "coexist" with humans.   This clip comes from Season 1, Episode 1: Mambas Everywhere   About Snake Season:  Snake catcher Nick Evans races across Durban to rescue deadly snakes from panicked residents. From black mambas in kitchens to pythons in drains, Nick handles South Africa's most feared reptiles with skill, care, and a love for the wild.   EarthX & EarthXtra  Love Our Planet.

00:00Back at the Mobile Research Lab, Nick and Cormac are taking DNA samples and

00:07sexing the black mambas.

00:09So we're going to just check if it's a male or a female.

00:13Looks like a male.

00:16That's a male.

00:21See how the probe is going quite a few scales down?

00:24If it's a female, it would only go two or three scales.

00:28I'm fascinated by how four million people can coexist with the second longest most venomous

00:33snake in the world.

00:34I think it's down to the snake's intelligence and the snake's behaviour.

00:37They've changed their behaviour to live in an urban environment.

00:40They see people as a threat and they do their best to avoid them.

00:44But we want to figure out how adapted black mambas are to an urban environment and how

00:47quick they learn to be urban explorers.
