The black mamba is one of the most feared and venomous snakes in Africa and beyond.
These snakes are named for the color of their skin, which is a dark brown or grayish-black hue.
They also have large, black eyes that give them excellent night vision and a long and forked tongue that they use to sense their environment and hunt for prey.
These creatures are native to sub-Saharan Africa and thrive in savannas, forests, rocky terrain, and near bodies of water.
Black Mambas are solitary hunters that prey on various animals, including small mammals, birds, and reptiles.
These snakes have some of the most potent poisons of any snake in the world, and their bite can be deadly if left untreated.
1. Severe pain 2. Swelling and bruising around the bite mark 3. Nausea and vomiting 4. Difficulty breathing and shortness of breath 5. Blurred vision and dizziness
The venom can continue to wreak havoc on the body for days, weeks, or even months, causing severe tissue damage and even leading to the loss of limbs.
