The Black Mamba Snake
Black mambas are among the deadliest snakes in the world. They are usually found in the rocky parts and savannas of eastern and southern Africa and are recognized as Africa’s longest poisonous snake. Black mambas get their name from the color of the inside of their mouth, which is blue-black. They tend to display this terrifying inky mouth abyss whenever they feel threatened. While these snakes are typically shy, they can easily become aggressive at any sign of danger. Black mambas will strike their victims repeatedly and the venom can kill within 20 minutes of injection.
