On the Ground with a Black Mamba!

The black mamba, named so for the black colour inside its mouth

Sounds silly doesn’t it? Most would think so, seeing as the black mamba is the largest venomous snake in Africa and possesses a deadly combination of neuro-cardiotoxic venom that attacks the heart and nerves of a bite victim within seconds.
