2012 World's Hardest Creature Competition, Semi Final Croc vs Hippo vs Mamba

[Guy Fawkes]

Tough call this one, leaning towards BM, and good videos to help decide?!

Black Mamba

Even when the experts are trying to catch a relatively small black mamba its still trying to get at the guy holding the snake back and not trying to escape the room and away. Notice how much more carefully they have to handle the snake compared to, say a croc once caught and how they are still pretty scared of it and what it is likely or capable of doing.

i general most snakes do tick quite a lot of hardness boxes....i'm surprised they, as a collective, don't do better

Steve 'Crocodile hunter' Irwin's encounter with a Black Mamba ( 2 minutes 30 upto 9 minutes 15)

Quoting Steve Irwin from this clip
Whilst handling this snake "I can tell you what, I am a little intimidated and a little scared
I'll tel you what, i've got more respect for this animal than i've ever had for any other animal that i've ever come across

Quoting Steve Irwin from this clip
They are one of the most dangerous animals on the face of the Earth. when look at this snake, the black mamba, what your looking at is the equivilant to a maurarding lion, a 20 ft crocodile, a great white shark, theres no difference, they'll kill you jsut as quick.

- And they don't hide away in water pretending to be a log whilst waiting for an easy target to eat but go where they want and no animal is going to stop them, not even lions (or honey badgers )

Steve 'Crocodile hunter' Austin's encounter with a Black Mamba ( 2 minutes 30 upto 9 minutes 15)

Quoting Steve Austin from this clip

steve austin was the wrestler!

i was also watching the same clip, and the other 4 parts.......he seemed quite calm with the other snakes but was clearly very flustered by the black mamba

 

[Guy Fawkes]

steve austin was the wrestler!

Steve Irwin.. Steve Austin... Jane Austin... - they all would have been very scared of it

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

steve austin would shit himself.........he was called the rattlesnake but try doing a 'stone cold stunner' on a mental snake

no chance

[Fred Oliver - Legend]

I voted BM, wanna see a Snake vs Badger final!

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

one hour left and it's very tight- get voting people!

 

[Mellotron]

Come on Black Mamba.

 

[Simster]

It's all about the snake. Genuinely scary animal - to pretty much ANYTHING, and I'm including the honey badger in that.

 

[Amahwrang]

going to go crocodile on this one whilst it does have some weaknesses in a three way FIGHT i can only see the croc as victor!

Include what you want. Wait for the final before we get into that.

 

[leigull]

Still yet to cast my vote in this one, very difficult choice. The latest mamba videos are helping swing that in the snake's favour but I'm just not SURE

 

[Simster]

Include what you want. Wait for the final before we get into that.

Which reminds me, I doubt an orca would be that impressed with a black mamba.

 

[Simster]

The question you have to ask is which of these three could prevail over either an orca or a honey badger?

Personally I can't see a hippo going any further, unlike a croc or black mamba which both have FANATICAL support.

Black Mamba - as the tourny has gone on, the public have rallied round to support. Previously looked very beatable, with no fans. NEWCASTLE.
Hippo - looks shit and ugly, no support, no chance in the final. PALACE in the league cup final
