Black Mamba
Wed., June 26, 8:00 pm
Encore
The black mamba is one of Africa's most dangerous and feared snakes, known for being aggressive when disturbed. Rearing its head four feet above the ground, it strikes with deadly precision, delivering venom that is packed with three different kinds of toxins that are 10 times more deadly than what is needed to kill an adult human. Without treatment, the mortality rate is 100 percent. Until now, little was known about the black mamba's natural behavior in the wild because in Africa most people kill a black mamba on sight and feel lucky to have done so. But in the tiny country of Swaziland in southern Africa, a team of herpetologists has an entirely different "take" on these creatures and hopes their six-week study will change public perception of what they feel is the world's most misunderstood snake.
