Black mamba
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

Paano ito makikilala
- Long, slender body with a coffin-shaped head and a slight brow ridge1
- Body colour is usually olive, yellowish-brown, khaki or grey, rarely black1
- Greyish-white underbelly1
- Inside of the mouth is dark bluish-grey to nearly black, shown when threatened1
- Young snakes are paler, typically grey or olive green, and darken with age1
Madalas mapagkamalang: It is often confused with the eastern green mamba, its closest relative. The two were once grouped together as one species before being separated.1

Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat
