Death

Do you think it is the name of the Black Mamba? The appearance of the black mamba is black, but it is not the case. There are not many black mamba snakes whose body color is pure black, and more gray and khaki. Aside from the danger, they are quite good-looking.

Below, let me introduce you to the African God of Death.

One. Venom

Speaking of snakes, the first thing to talk about should be its venom. The black mamba's venom is a neurotoxin that attacks the nervous system and paralyzes its prey, which quickly dies of shock due to breathing difficulties.

A black mamba carries enough venom to kill 13-20 adult males, so the consequences of being bitten by a black mamba are quite serious. It is reported that the fastest 15 to 30 minutes after being bitten will die. If the drug is not treated in time, the bitten will surely die.

2. Types

The black mamba, as the second continental venomous snake in the world, usually grows to three meters in length. The largest individual is more than four meters, it can jump up, stand up straight, and even bite people's faces when attacking. Death

 

The Movement of the Black Mamba Extremely fast, 23 km/h. What is this concept? It is equivalent to running 6.3 meters per second, and it takes less than 16 seconds to run 100 meters! Students who usually neglect to exercise may not necessarily achieve this result.

Four. Natural enemies

Seeing this, do you think the black mamba can do whatever they want on the African continent? In fact, it still has natural enemies. Brother Flathead (Honey Badger), Meerkat, and Snake Vulture can all fight against it, and in general, they can get a little cheaper. However, this slightly superior situation occurs more often in encounters with juvenile black mamba snakes, because the survivability of juvenile snakes is far less than that of adult snakes, and they are often eaten because they cannot escape.

Reaper

Yes, although Heiman The snake is called the god of death in Africa, but it does not actively attack humans, and even has a feeling of repelling people. Because in the case of finding someone approaching in advance, they will often be the first to evacuate to a place farther away from the person, and will maintain a safe distance of more than 40 meters. So as long as it doesn't threaten it, it won't attack you.
