Did You Know?<\/h2>\n\n- Black Mamba snakes are not really Black?\u00a0 In fact they are Brown in color!<\/li>\n
- The Black Mamba snake is widely known as the world’s DEADLIEST snake!<\/li>\n
- They can grow to an unbelievable 4.5 meters in length (14 feet) \u2013 that’s longer than some cars!<\/li>\n

Mouthing Off<\/h2>\n
You won’t believe this!\u00a0 The Black Mamba snake actually gets it’s scary name because the inside of it’s mouth is a Blue \u2013 Black color.\u00a0 It’s nothing to do with the color of it’s skin.\u00a0 You get to see the colors when the snake is threatened and is getting ready to attack you!\u00a0 The Black Mamba will display an open mouth to let you know it isn’t happy!\u00a0 If you see this then you need to get as far away as you can because they have been responsible for killing lots of humans, so don’t try and make friends with one!<\/p>\n
In Africa, the Black Mamba is considered to be the longest and most venomous snake.\u00a0 They can also sliver (move) really fast along the ground.\u00a0 In fact they are among some of the fastest in the world.\u00a0 They can slither up to 12.5 miles per hour (which is 20 kilometers per hour) so you better have your best running shoes on!![\"Black](\"http:\/\/www.wild-facts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Black-Mamba2-300x221.jpg\")

Time For Attack!<\/h2>\n
Strangely, the Black Mamba snake is quite shy and does not like to come face-to-face with humans.\u00a0 They like to hide away which is a relief for you and me!\u00a0 They will only attack you if you corner one of them.<\/p>\n
You will know when they are getting ready to attack because they raise their heads off the ground, and sometimes a third of their body too!\u00a0 They will spread their wide cobra-like flap on their neck and then hiss at you.\u00a0By now you should be trying to get away.\u00a0 If you keep on annoying the snake, it will attack you over and over.\u00a0 Each time it will inject it’s deadly toxins.\u00a0 If you don’t have the right anti-venom then you will be dead within 20 minutes!<\/p>\n
Luckily, you will know when you see a deadly Black Mamba snake.\u00a0 It’s skin is more of an Olive or Gray color than Black.\u00a0 You may get a scary feeling inside and the hairs on the back of your neck might stand on end!\u00a0 If you ever meet the world’s deadliest snake then try not to annoy it and try to carefully retreat!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
