A large Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) from D

A large Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) from Durban, KwaZulu-Natal. This is Africa’s longest venomous snake, with recorded lengths of up to 4.5 metres, although individuals over 3.8 metres are rare. Black Mambas are typically nervous and will try to escape if given the opportunity. However, if cornered or threatened, they become highly defensive—raising the front of the body off the ground, spreading a narrow hood, and opening the mouth to reveal the distinctive inky-black lining. In this state, they may strike rapidly and repeatedly until the perceived threat retreats.
