The black mamba is a long, fast, highly venomous snake that lives in parts of sub-Saharan Africa. It can climb trees as well as move across the ground. It is one of the most feared snakes in Africa because its venom acts quickly.1

Pozoi-ahalmena

Pozoia letaginetatik edo hortzetatik ateratzen da kosk egiten duenean.

Its venom is mainly neurotoxic, meaning it attacks the nerves. Symptoms often start within ten minutes of a bite. The venom is frequently fatal unless antivenom is given.1

Arriskua pertsonentzat: HilgarriaMunduko animaliarik arriskutsuenetako bat.

It attacks people only when threatened or cornered. A survey in South Africa from 1957 to 1979 recorded 2,553 venomous snakebites, of which 75 were confirmed as black mamba bites. The World Health Organization classes it as a snake of medical importance.1

Albiste ona: medikuek badute sendagai bat (antipozoia) edo tratamendu bat honetarako.1

Zer egiten du beldurtzen denean?

When threatened, it opens its inky-black mouth, spreads a narrow neck flap, hisses and may strike several times in quick succession.1

Kosk egiten badu

Antivenom is the treatment for a black mamba bite, so get to a hospital as fast as possible.1
Eutsi pertsona geldi eta lasai, kendu eraztunak eta gauza estuak, eta joan ospitalera azkar: antipozoia da tratamendua.

Egon seguru

Ez ukitu, ez harrapatu eta ez zirikatu inoiz animalia basati bat, txikia izan arren, eta lo edo hilda dagoela badirudi ere.
Utzi tartea. Bat aurkitzen baduzu, egon lasai, egin atzera poliki eta utzi bere bidetik joaten.

Ez dabil zure atzetik. Pozoia janaria harrapatzeko edo bere burua babesteko erabiltzen du, eta askoz nahiago du ezkutatu. Seguru egoteari buruz gehiago

Datuak

It is the second-longest venomous snake in the world, after the king cobra. It is the longest venomous snake in Africa.1

It can lift as much as 40% of its body length off the ground, so bites can land on the upper body.1

Honey badgers and mongooses have some resistance to its venom, and they sometimes hunt mambas.1

Its digestive system can fully digest a meal in eight to ten hours.1

Its fangs can be up to 6.5 mm long.1

Its name in some tribal languages means "dassie catcher", because it sometimes hunts the rock hyrax, also called a dassie.1
