The black mamba is the longest venomous snake in Africa and can reach up to 3.5 metres in length. It is a much-feared snake, mostly because of its exceptional speed. It is not black, as the name suggests, but has a grey-brownish colour. Another remarkable ability of this snake is that it can rear up the front third of its body almost to shoulder height. The venom is neurotoxic and causes death through paralysis unless treated immediately. | AdventurousAfrica
