African Black Mamba

This is a video on African Black Mamba. Black mambas belong to the genus, Dendroaspis. They are strong but slender in body with the average size being between 2.4 to 3 metres (7.8 - 9.8 foot).Black mambas are widespread over the African continent and occur from Somalia to South Africa. In the past black mambas were recognized in 2 subspecies: Dendroaspis polylepis polylepis and Dendroaspis polylepis antinorii. But research proved antinorii was an invalid subspecies. Venom research has shown us however, that there can be differences in venom composition in black mambas from different localities. Of all the African snakes the Black Mamba is the most feared and is known for being aggressive when agitated or confronted and will strike with deadly precision. They are capable of moving at 20 km/h, which makes the black mamba one of the fastest snakes in the world.

Friend, I took this video when I visited Bronx Zoo, the on the cage - Black Mamba was written, The color difference may be due to the differential lighting within the glass chamber.

I love mambas, the black and the green mambas belong to my favorite snakes.

But the color of a black mamba is actually grey/olive-grey...

That doesn't really look like a black mamba.
