Black mamba... A snake you don't want to ever come in contact with except you're a honey badger !
It is faster than humans and highly deadly.


What's tha business?

Grandmeister:

That’s what I said in an earlier post too. In actual potency it’s not even in the top 3...maybe, just maybe barely top 5. The taipan and krait is top two...I think sea snakes are even much more potent than a krait but since they barely have any human fatalities they are not amongst the ‘deadliest’. A sea snakes venom is so potent because it has to stop a fast moving fish in its track..what good will a dead fish do if it swam away from you and died a kilometer away right?

Martinelli35:
Black mamba ain’t the deadliest snake even in Africa. That title belongs to the puff adder. Extremely venomous, it’s bite is deadlier than a black mamba’s

Beauty and venom...

Most snakes are fine. Imagine a handbag made out of this beauty. Would be cute.

yetmao:
Black mambae not the most poisonous but the deadliest.

Taipan is actually most poisonous snake but they're shy and not residential

Twelfthman:
Mongoose sure knew how to dealt with their kind...
Next on the line is honey badger.
They both immune to snake poison

Adakintroy:
There something about snakes in the animal world that seem to hold there own steady. They are like a cult on there own.

Slow but very deadly.no other animals mimicks them.

There is lion and tigers Crocs and even elephants. But a snake is a snake. They come in all size and form. Large and small. Constrictor or venomous. no matter how you rank the big cats. One miss step from a lion on a snake and it's game over in seconds.

They are my least favorite animals.but they hold there own steady in the animal world. You have to respect them. they are as up there and even revered or feared (depending ) as the king of the beast.

Their instict is so primitive. That one can never judge it accurately.
Snakes! The name alone means snake.

The easiest way to make front page this year

I was 100% sure this would make front page.

I disagree. The mamba is faster, more aggressive and can strike multiple times. Puff adder are dangerous but not in the same league as the mambas and cobras.

Tho the gaboon viper is a very deadly snake too but it doesn't strike people without giving warnings.

Honestly speaking,

You're the man..

Where are you networking from?

N3cR0mAZc3R:


It's not only about the potency of the venom but more about the aggressive nature, quickness of the particular snake and that's what makes the mamba the deadliest imo. I mean it's the fastest snake in the world.

N3cR0mAZc3R:


I love all animals (leopards is my favorite) including snakes. I think people misunderstood them. They aren't the cruel devilish things we portrayed them as.

gentuu1000:
how and when did black mamba become the world deadliest snake in the world?

have you ever heard of the blue krait or the inland taipan

Martinelli35:
I watched a documentary on the nat geo channel, where the black mamba snake was named as the second most deadliest in Africa behind the puff adder. A puff adder’s venom kills faster

BabaIbo:


Stop exaggerating it joor!

Ordinary honey badger dey deal with them.

There are animals their venom can't harm, even if they bite/sting it severally.

ahmedzippa:
Not the deadliest

Odewaleadesoye:


Wow!

I'm networking from Ìbàdàn too.

I dey Akobo

How about you?

N3cR0mAZc3R:


Puff adder is not even among the top 10 most venomous snakes in the world.
The list was dominated by sea snakes and elapids not vipers.

Grandmeister:

That might be incorrect..they’re found in Africa, and if a snake can be found in South Africa it can be found in the western part of Africa...they’re good travelers and survivors.

So some people love snakes?
