In many TV shows and documentaries the Black Mamba (D. polylepis) is portrayed as this extremely agressive and deadly snake. The Black Mamba can indeed kill a human very fast, but it is absolutely not agressive! These snakes will take every opportunity to flee and get away from humans and will avoid confrontation at any cost. Please don't kill mambas, leave them alone and they will leave you alone. If you are in direct danger, please call your local snake rescuer.
