Mambas

Mambas are highly venomous snakes belonging to the genus Dendroaspis, native to Africa. They are known for their sleek, slender bodies and fast, agile movements. Mambas can deliver potent venom that affects the nervous system, potentially causing paralysis or death if not treated promptly. Despite their fearsome reputation, they usually avoid humans and will only attack if threatened. There are several species, with the black mamba being the most famous for its size, speed, and potent venom. They play a vital role in controlling rodent populations in their ecosystems.
