Description of the Black Mamba

Despite the name of this species, it is not exactly a black snake. The scales of this snake are more of a grey or an olive green color than black. These snakes are usually very long and have a narrow body, with a relatively narrow head.

On average, adult black snakes measure about 8 or 9 ft. In length. Some reports of sightings indicate that the species may reach or grow longer than14 ft. in length. These snakes generally weigh 3 or 4 lbs. Averagely.

Interesting Facts About Black Mamba

People often misunderstand this highly venomous species. Learn more about what makes this snake unique below.

Speed Slither – The black mamba is an active predator; thus, this snake needs to be active enough to out-slither or outrun its prey. In short distances, these snakes can reach speeds of 12.5 mph!
Terrestrial Territory – The black mamba spends most of its time on the ground, and that makes them primarily terrestrial. However, these snakes can climb into trees to chase prey or while they are hunting.
Lurking Lairs – This species of snake spends most of its early mornings and late afternoons in search of prey. When the black mamba needs a break, it goes back to a termite mound, or its favorite hollow tree to hide. These snakes usually use the same lair constantly.
Macho Males – During the mating season, male mambas wrestle with one another to get the attention of females. The males stand up from the ground and battle as they wrap their necks together. Each black mamba male attempts to pin the other’s head to the ground.
Habitat of the Black Mamba

These snake species spend most of their time on the ground, how they live in different habitats, especially in forested regions.

They prefer various ecosystems with a wide range of hiding places, including areas with rocks. Some of the different snake habitats include woodlands, forests, savannas, grasslands, and more.

Distribution of the Black Mamba

This black mamba can only be found in a few regions of Africa. They reside throughout much of eastern and central Africa.

Their range in these areas extends from Nigeria and Cameroon to Eritrea, Kenya, Somalia, and Tanzania. Another black mamba population lives across the southern parts of Africa, including Namibia, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and Botswana, and surrounding areas.

Diet of the Black Mamba

As a predatory species, this snake eats other animals and doesn't feed on plants or tiny insects. Their main prey is rodents, including rats, hyraxes, mice, squirrels, and more. They also hunt bats, birds, bushbabies, and other snack-sized animals.

Their main method of hunting for these snakes is actively searching for prey and chasing them down. After striking a prey and injecting its venom several times, these snakes wait for their prey to die before proceeding to eat it.
