A safari-goer in South Africa captured video of a daring mongoose using a venomous snake to swing from a tree.

A video filmed in Kruger National Park by Delia Bronkhorst, 35, and posted to YouTube by Kruger Sightings, shows the mongoose swinging from a tree by using a much larger snake—identified by experts as a venomous black mamba—as a rope, reports UPI.

‘Heading back to Shingwedzi camp after our drive from Red Rocks, we stopped to watch a huge herd of buffalo coming down to the river to drink. While watching the beautiful scene, something caught my eye on the opposite side of the road. At first we thought it was a squirrel, but driving closer we saw it was a mongoose killing a snake,’ Bronkhorst said.

‘It was quite unbelievable to see, but excitement was definitely the emotion that best describes this sighting, and I couldn’t believe we were actually seeing something that amazing,’ she said. ‘The mongoose eventually got the snake down, unfortunately, the grass was too high for us to see the mongoose enjoy its well-deserved meal.’

Bronkhorst said the scene gave her ‘huge respect’ for the ‘fierce’ mongoose.
