The Black Mamba


I considered that The Black Mamba is the most dangerous animal, it is a species of snake, is the most venomous snake in Africa. With an average length of 2.5 m, can reach 4.5 m. It is called so for the color black in his mouth. It one of the world's fastest snakes, capable of moving 16 to 20 km / h.

The Black Mamba is a snake territory. Therefore, it can be highly aggressive if threatened, especially if the threat is between the serpent and his lair. When it becomes aggressive, raise your head as high as possible, sometimes even being able to look directly into the eyes of a human being depending on the size of the snake arches its back and moves quickly while balancing on the back of body, open its jaws, revealing the black inside the mouth, while aggressively whistles. Its bite injects about 100 mg of venom dendrotoxina, being fatal to an adult male between 10 and 15 mg. Death occurs by suffocation as a result of paralysis of respiratory muscles. Although their venom is not the most toxic, due to its aggressive nature and the large amount of venom injected, as its speed, is considered the world's most dangerous snake.
