Black Mamba

Season 28 Episode 3

The black mamba is one of Africa's most dangerous and feared snakes. Most people would kill it on sight. But in the tiny country of Swaziland, one husband and wife team has taken a different approach to the mamba. They've initiated a study that they hope will change perceptions of what they feel is the world's most misunderstood snake.
