Black Mambas
The black mamba is one of the most dangerous snakes in the world. It is big, fast, and very aggressive when threatened. It is also highly poisonous: a black mamba’s potent venom can kill a person within 20 minutes. A single bite has enough venom to kill 20-40 grown men! Needless to say, without treatment a black mamba bite is 100% fatal. Packed with fascinating facts and large, colorful photos, Black Mambas: Sudden Death! introduces emergent readers to the natural habitat, physical characteristics, diet, and behavior of this deadly serpent.
