Adaumunocha:Nada! King Cobras are not found in this part of the world and thank God for that. They are the largest venomous snakes known to man. They are called "king" because they eat other snakes, even those that are poisonous. That's by the way sha! All those shouting black mamba because of the color of the skin should know that isn't a black mamba. Black mambas are so called cus of the color of their mouth and mostly found in South Africa. The snake in the picture is probably a West African spitting cobra. Thanks to Nat Geo Wild 5 Likes |

Tolexander: We don't have black mambas in west africa as they are native to east and southern Africa. So it can't be a black mamba, It's probably a cobra. 2 Likes |

Let us stop killing snakes. When next you see a snake, try and catch it and release it back into the wild or call Animal Control. |

This is not black mamba. Black mamba is a very wicked snake and is one of the most deadly snakes. Black mamba venom has an LD50 of 0.28 mg/kg, with enough venom in a full bite to (in theory) kill 10 humans. Trust me if it was black mamba you and the guy that supported you would have been rejected by hospital by now. Black mamba will stretch you guys go think say na inside light poly bag una dey. 1 Like

Johnsmartinyang: I believe that snake is a cobra which is quite easy to kill compared to a mamba Let us modify your comments on black mamba https://www.livescience.com/43559-black-mamba.html These speedy serpents can move faster than most people can run, a fact that partly explains why they are so feared. Viernum said, “Black mambas are one of the fastest species of snakes, reaching slithering speed up to 12 mph [19 kph].” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_mamba During the threat display, any sudden movement by the intruder may provoke the mamba into a series of rapid strikes leading to severe envenomation. Also, the size of the black mamba, plus its ability to raise its head well off the ground, enable it to launch as much as 40% of its body length upwards, so mamba bites in humans quite often are on the upper body.This behaviour also permits the snake to land a strike at unexpectedly long range |

LilSmith55: Please never ever make that mistake Both lions and antelopes are animals, but Seriously a rattlesnake will warn and you can find your way to kill it A cobra can be killed the way these guys cornered it A python uses strength because it does not have venom and can be killed easily when people are in a group But imagine a black mamba! It can move very fast and strike the upper part of the body of a man and repeatedly! So the safe distance for a cobra differs very much from that of a mamba 2 Likes |
