Africa's most venomous snake. Not to be confused with Africa's most dangerous snake - that title rightly belongs to the fearsome Black Mamba.
The Boomslang (African Tree Snake) - you need slightly less venom to kill a man than the Black Mamba but you are far less likely to be bitten by a Boomslang than a Black Mamba.
This Boomslang in the picture is bleeding as it was being attacked by a bird - a Grey Headed Shrike. This is quite ironic as the Boomslang includes birds in it's diet!
So dangerous.

Black Mamba are by far more likely to bite than a Boomslang.
A Boomslang is more timid. A Black Mamba more nervous
The Boomslang venom is slow acting. ( kill a man in 7 days) The Black Mamba venom is fast acting. ( kill a man in a few hours)

Had a bit of a struggle there.... Good thing you highlighted the difference (venomous, dangerous)
Whenever I see snakes, we both run in the opposite direction.
