Jakarta, Spasi-id.com - Black Mamba's poison content is crowned as the deadly palin in in the world. Black Mamba is also famous for the world's fastest species of snakes and including the longest vipers in Africa and the second longest in the world. This Black Mamba snake has the maximum length of about 4.3 meters and has a head shaped like a flexible athletic snake. A black mamba snake can live in its habitat for 11 years.
Regardless of his name, it turns out that it doesn't have black but it's gray to old brown and for the bottom it usually has a color that tends to be brighter.
The name Black Mamba on this species of snakes is taken because this species of snakes has black mouths. Black Mamba snakes with Cottonmouths resemble when they feel threatened.
The behavior of these Black Mamba snakes is quite alarming to us when we find these animals because when they've been cornered, they will lift their heads up, sometimes with a third of their bodies off the ground, spread their wings like cobras, open their black mouths, and hiss.
This animal behavior is done to survive. If the attackers survive, the Black Mamba snake will continue to attack repeatedly, injecting an enormous amount of neurotoxin and cardiotoxic force in every single one of its attacks. Unlike most snakes, this one has a very scary bite and is always fatal to the bite.
The origin of the bite or could be dominated contains neurotoxin and symptoms visible within 10-20 minutes. The neurotoxin contained in this snake, if a human is bitten by this bite, will result in the damage of nerve tissue, loss of senses, hazy vision, narrow pupil, difficulty of swallowing, asphyxiation, vertigo, loss of consciousness, and respiratory paralysis. A black mamba bite can cause a blackout on a human within 45 minutes.
One of the medical treatments that can be performed if a human is bitten by a snake is by injecting antivenine. However, unfortunately this antivenin drug has not yet been available in rural Africa and the case of death from the bite of a Black Mamba is still occurring in various parts of Africa where nearly 20,000 people die from snake bites every year.
