ajebuter: I listened to the leaked tape and was repulsed
I mean, this man has the mentality of Third World countries..
He should be charged for sedition and traitorous felony alongside his enablers like Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Moscow Mitch..
Welcome to American politics. It's not a so called Third World thing. This is raw American politics. This is how bush won on 2004, problem for Trump is that he is dealing with 4 states, unlike Bush who had only Florida as the hurdle.
Adjovi: Black mambas don't shy away from people. Several cases in South Africa where they enter homes. King cobras stay clear of humans.
Opposite. Black mambas are extremely shy of humans and avoid people at all cost. King Cobras on the other hand are less shy of people because they have learnt to live among humans due to habitat destruction. That is why they kill more people than black mambas. Go do your research.
Adjovi: They are allowed to roam freely in the compound. That's how the people selling the anti venoms showcase the potency of their anti venoms. You can watch it on YouTube. You'll never see anyone for any reason allowing a black mamba roam freely. It's faster and more deadly than the king cobra
Stop the lies and quit using one anecdote like it's a norm. Who are these people? Do black mambas live in India? And you speak as if King Cobras live in Indian households like dogs. Soon you will tell us they put them on chains and walk them like dogs. My friend accept your error and stop your high falutin argument. Google 10 ten deadliest snakes in the world and black mamba is not number one. The title of the thread should be " Deadliest snake in Africa" End of argument.
Adjovi: Nah they don't rare black mamba the way they rare king cobra. Black mambas are caged and not allowed to roam freely in the compound with people like it's done with the king cobra in India
That my friend is faulty comparison. First of, it is not true that the King Cobra is allowed to roam freely in compounds in India, unless you are dealing with rearers and snake charmers. Secondly Indians are known to deify snakes, and are quite comfortable with them, hence the reaction of an Indian to snakes may be quite different from other people. Thirdly, the black mamba is only found in Africa. I am very certain that if the Black Mamba was native to India, they would have curbed it's aggression. FYI some people own black mambas as pets, even though it's highly advised against.
DeAlphaMale: First off the deadliest snake in the world is the taipan... 2nd the longest venomous snake in the world is the king cobra... None of this titles is that of the mambas
Don't mind the OP. Some are here defending him that the term venomous is different from the term deadly. If a snake's venom does not kill, will you call that snake deadly?
Adjovi: King cobra is much more venomous but not deadlier. How deadly they are is not measured by the potency of their venoms but by how much humans have been attacked by them. Somewhere in India they live with king cobras why they sell anti venoms for them so they display the effectiveness of the drugs by rearing kingcobras.
Google is your friend, and I have successfully disputed the argument that a black mamba is the most deadly based on aggression. If it's based on how many people killed. The King Cobra trumps the black mamba. Black mambas are also reared like King Cobras and harvested for their venom. No big deal. Back to topic, the black mamba is not the deadliest snake in the world. Whether you are basing deadliness on potency of venom or aggression. The black mamba does come any where close. In terms of venom potency, it is the inland Taipan. In terms of aggression (which I disagree is a measure of deadliness) the Saw scaled Viper is numero uno
Adjovi: Black mambas will kill in 30 minutes that's if you are lucky it strikes you once . The king cobra however won't charge at you if you don't come at it or you are not within striking range, but the mamba doesn't need that, wether you are in striking range or not it's coming at ya and it's gonna charge if you do or not. So I'll choose king cobra as long as I maintain a distance I'm safe.
A black mamba will also run away if you come at it. What's your point?
explosiveskull: A king cobra won't do anything to you once you don't make any sudden moves and remain calm unlike the mamba that is nervous and will definitely attack you despite how calm you are.
Don't worry, I will soon lock you in a cage with a King Cobra, let's see how still you will stay.
N3cR0mAZc3R: Bro come-on your reaching here. The king cobra is the biggest and longest venomous snake but it's not as aggressive as the black mamba.
A google search away should give u the answer.
My guy Google it. The King Cobra is more aggressive than the black mamba. The King Cobra even eats other snakes, including venomous ones. In relation to people, the King Cobra will attack just as a black mamba will attack if they feel threatened. Likewise, they will both japa from people if they can.
N3cR0mAZc3R: Your indeed right that snakes don't generally attack people unless threatened but the black mamba is more of a nervous type of snake than the more venomous but relaxed taipan which is why I think it's more dangerous. It's panics easily too and therefore might strike even unprovoked.
But there are other snakes that act more nervous than the black mamba, bite and kill more people. Eg Saw Scaled Viper and Eastern Brown snake. You see why I have a problem with aggression as a basis for deadly?
Adjovi: King cobra does not spit venoms. Besides I believe you have seen a video of the snake catcher trying his best to place his hand on the head of a king cobra in the wild which he did. He'll never try that with a mamba.
I may not like snakes but I know a lot about them.
So you have not seen snake charmers playing with black mambas that have not been devenomed? Go and check youtube.
Adjovi: Well it's good for him. We learn everyday.
What you should have asked them is this. Which will you choose to face in a cage. King cobra or black mamba. If you choose a king cobra you still stand a chance of surviving but if you choose a mamba you are a gonna.
A king Cobra's venom is enough to kill an elephant. Its venom will kill a man in 15 minutes. A black Mamba's will kill a man in 30 minutes. These are facts.
Adjovi: King cobra does not spit venoms. Besides I believe you have seen a video of the snake catcher trying his best to place his hand on the head of a king cobra in the wild which he did. He'll never try that with a mamba.
I may not like snakes but I know a lot about them.
You are right. I confused a spitting cobra with King Cobra. But I still maintain that a King Cobra is way more aggressive and deadlier than a black mamba.
N3cR0mAZc3R: Being deadly is not just about potency of a snake's venom. The definition of deadly can be how much people a snake has killed, how aggressive/quick is the snake and how often does it bite people.
The inland taipan while the most venomous of all land snakes is quite relaxed compared to the black mamba. You can stay within 5 feet of a taipan and it might not bite you whereas with a mamba you can't because it will strike you (sometimes multiple times) without giving any warnings. It also has much more reach when striking than the taipan due to it's longer length.
Here's a video of the south African expert Dingo Dinkelmann Handling and comparing both black mamba and taipan. You can deduct which snake is much more deadlier from it yourself.
No snake will attack you within 5 feet unless it feels cornered or threatened, snakes generally tend to avoid people. This includes the so called black mamba. I don't need a video of a snake expert to help me deduce simple diction. If you are saying the definition of deadly also means how often a snake bites people, then the black mamba fails woefully in that category. The Eastern brown snake and saw scaled viper,bites (and kills) more people than the black mamba. If we go back to the definition of deadly as to how quickly its venom can kill people, the black mamba comes a distant 5th.
Adjovi: I believe you people are not getting the OP's point. Deadliest is different from most venomous. You can have a lot of venom and not be as deadly as the other with less venom. For example the Nigerian army has got enough firepower and strategy than bokoharam. But which is more deadly between both the army and bokoharam to the citizen? Bokoharam is despite not literally as powerful as the military. You dig. Puff adder, Gabon viper are all venomous than the black mamba. But the black mamba is more deadly because it's easy to outwit other snakes than the mamba. If you watch NAT Geo wild there's this guy that catches snakes for a living in South Africa. When it's other snakes he's ready and panics less. But once a call came for a black mamba he was fucking tensed and extremely careful. And that black mamba he caught that day was the biggest I have ever seen and that's still not it's full potential size. Dont joke with black mambas biko o.
Your logic does not count in this scenario. The snake catcher panicked because of the speed and aggression of the black mamba, but he will also shit his pants if he confronts a King Cobra, because that one can also spray venom. The real reason why any snake catcher is scared is because they know one bite could spell their doom. the inland Taipan is not aggressive, because it lives in isolated places where it has little contact with humans. Do you know how many people get beaten by snakes on a daily basis? So why are some called deadly? It's because they are likely to lead to fatality. What causes fatality? The venom. Do you see why you can't separate deadly from venomous?
N3cR0mAZc3R: It's the most venomous but black mamba is the deadliest due to its aggressive reputation and quickness. It's also not as shy as the inland taipan.
Guy, stop confusing people with semantics. If you are using aggression and speed as your definition of deadly, then the black mamba does not come close to the King Cobra and the Saw Scaled Viper or even the Eastern Brown Snake in terms of aggression so your definition is wrong. The definition of deadly is how many people or mice an ounce of its poison can kill. Whether you say deadly or venomous, you are referring to the same thing. One is a cause, (venom) the other is an effect (dead) they are often used interchangeably. For your information the black mamba is ranked 5th on the list of deadliest snakes behind the following 1. Inland Taipan 2. Eastern Brown Snake 3. Coastal Taipan 4. King Cobra.
hustla: The extension of Lingard's contract was a poor, poor move and a bad one.. Exactly how we delayed with shipping out Welbeck, who is now at a mediocre team.. We always tend to be slow when shipping out useless players for some reason I don't know
It essentially means we still need to pay him salary until we can find a buyer.. And at the moment, I don't think any right thinking club will pay for him except to fill up the English quota, which in that case would mean they won't pay him the salary he wants
We should just cut ties with Rojo, Jones and Lingard...terminate their contracts and free up wages for deserving players who want to come in
Mata too needs to go so we can stock up with quality.. And James needs some loan move
I for one, do not understand why we haven't sold Luke Shaw too, he's a liability and won't last at a serious club. If we had sold him and freed up his wages, we'd have been looking seriously at Alaba now, a quality addition to LB
Luke Shaw? Are you speaking from 2018 or did an angry soldier hit your head with an iron rod?
