Oh, well, I am surprised how fast they are.

They would run away from you.

Black Mambas are extremely shy and will do everything they can to avoid people.

And if I had to choose to try and outrun a black mamba or a gorilla, I know which I'd try.

My point was that the risk of accidentally meandering into one's nest is enormous. I guess the answer is just stay in large open areas, but I was thinking more like a post apocalyptic "look for food and survive" kinda angle.

I get it, but that's exactly my point. Unless you honestly sit on the nest, you're fine. And even then, probably, because you'll sound like a giant stomping when you near the nest.

Snakes don't chase humans. Silverbacks might do it just for fun.

I'd rather the hulking gorilla that I can hide from over the deadly snake that might have made it's home in my rudimentary shelter.

You really couldn't hide from a silverback if he wanted to find you. And he might. Snakes would never chase you or hunt you or be remotely interested in you, unless you corner them. On top of that, it's quite a lot easier to make a snakeproof area somewhere than it is to block a gorilla from doing literally anything it choooses to.

But thanks yeah, I was not aware of how fast black Mambas are. The video is interesting though.

Ooooh.

But I took my link from NewPipe Sponsorblock app. Isn't that something to do with piped? Oh well, glad bots like you exist, anyway.
