The Black Mamba is by far the most fared snake in Africa. It is the longest African Venomous Snake - (up to 4.5m).
It is the fastest African Venomous Snake.
It is a nervous snake and strikes with little provocation.
It has a long striking range. From a threat display position where it lifts itself up bending the front part of it's body in a "S" shape, I have seen this snake strike a distance of 2m!
It has a powerful neurotoxic venom that can kill a man in half an hour.
Of all the snakes in Africa, this is the one that you are least likely to survive if bitten.
This photo shows clearly the long coffin shaped head and the "smile" of the Mamba's mouth.

This is one of the most beautiful creatures and also one of the most creepy and dangerous. The black mamba is the fastest snake . These snakes can weigh around 1.6 kgs and upto 3 metres long and sometimes even more. Most of the deaths are reported by the venom of these snakes. @mambaman

Knowing all that and your are still holding it!? Great.
I knew the lizard post yesterday was just the calm before the storm. 😉 You got us good.
It is fascinating to see a close up of this snake, though. I somehow imagined it would be... ‘blacker’, I guess.

It has a powerful neurotoxic venom that can kill a man in half an hour... Wow that is serious, half an hour is a very short time. That means it is the fastest killing toxic in the world

A half hour?? Anywhere remote, it'd be a miracle to get help in time. Can you service if you get medical attention fast enough?
