Black Mamba Eats a Mouse

So this snake was eating but he tried to swallow the mouse sideways.. took him a little while to figure it out but he finally got it down. It was pretty amazing to watch one of the deadliest snakes in the world doing this from inches away ^_^

As I know,they actually cause not many deaths compared with several other species,such as Puff Adder in Africa due to various factors,like distribution,lifestyle,etc.Yet­,the mortality rate caused can be high(I read that King cobra and Black mamba cause one of the highest mortality rate in humans bitten by snakes presently).

Yes,they are the fastest snake recorded but they always use their speed to escape from danger.Many people misunderstand them.

@fearingpredators yea they cause alot of deaths cause of how dispersed they are, and where they hang out, i also heard that they "sprint" faster than most humans

@MrBadApple999

Yes,several venomous snakes are regarded as highly dangerous,although their venom is not among the top.Toxicity is merely one of the factors determining danger.Moreover,LD50 may not reflect all the venom effect on humans since it often uses mice as the indicator.

@fearingpredators true, true

@MrBadApple999

It is not the most venomous if we consider LD50,although it is highly dangerous.

[MrBadApple999]

black mamba is easily recodgnised with its creepy black mouth, being that close to the most venomous snake in the world...chill
