- Black_mamba abstract "The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis), also called the common black mamba or black-mouthed mamba, is a highly venomous snake of the genus Dendroaspis (Mambas), and is endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. It was first described in 1864 by Albert Günther, a German-born British zoologist, ichthyologist, and herpetologist. It is the longest species of venomous snake in Africa and the second-longest venomous snake in the world after the king cobra, averaging around 2.2 to 2.7 m (7.2 to 8.9 ft) in length, and sometimes growing close to lengths of 4 m (13 ft). The longest recorded black mamba was 4.3 m (14.1 ft).The venom of the black mamba is highly toxic. Based on the Median lethal dose (LD50) values in mice, the black mamba LD50 is 0.28/0.32 mg/kg subcutaneous.. The black mamba is considered the most dangerous and feared snake in Africa, though the ocellated carpet viper is responsible for more human fatalities due to snakebite than all other african species combined. According to wildlife biologist Joe Wasilewski, black mambas are the most-advanced of all the snake species in the world. Their venom apparatus and method of delivering venom is also probably the most-effective and most-evolved among all venomous snakes. One snake expert called this species "death incarnate". Its combination of speed, unpredictable aggression, and potent venom make it an extremely dangerous species. It is the fastest snake in the world, capable of moving at 4.32 to 5.4 metres per second (11–19 km/h, 10–12 mph) for short distances. The black mamba has a reputation for being very aggressive, but like most snakes, it usually attempts to flee from humans unless threatened.It has a highly potent snake venom, and the venom is the most rapid-acting among all other snakes, and in cases of severe envenomation, it is capable of killing an adult human in as little as 20 minutes. Two such cases have been documented in the medical literature. In one such case, an adult male was bitten on his right arm, just above the wrist by a black mamba which was estimated to be approximately 2.5 m (8.2 ft) in length. The victim began to show signs of prominent neurotoxicity within minutes. At ten minutes post-envenomation, respiratory paralysis set in and 20 minutes post-envenomation the victim showed no signs of life and was deceased. Other cases of rapid death, within 30–60 minutes are relatively common among this species. However, depending on the nature of the bite, death time can be anywhere from 20 minutes to 6–8 hours. Without rapid and vigorous antivenom therapy, a bite from a black mamba is rapidly fatal almost 100% of the time. Many experts regard the black mamba and the coastal taipan as the world's most-aggressive and dangerous snakes.".
