The black mamba, in particular, is among the most venomous snakes in the world and one of the most aggressive.
He miffs the black mamba with his torchlight.
Although its scientific name seems to be indicative of tree climbing, the black mamba is rarely an arboreal snake.
Antivenom therapy is the mainstay of treatment for black mamba envenomation.
When cornered or threatened, the black mamba can put up a fearsome display of defense and aggression.
Although antivenom saves many lives, mortality due to black mamba envenomation is still at 14%, even with antivenom therapy.
