• Black Mamba: Africa's Shadow Serpent

  In this episode, we head back to Africa to explore the legend and reality of the Black Mamba, one of the deadliest and fastest snakes on Earth. We cover history and myths. We also highlight why the Black Mamba is both revered and feared in African culture, taking a deep dive into its neurotoxic venom, how it works, and why it's so lethal. Despite its reputation, the Black Mamba is a shy, fast-moving snake that avoids conflict. The role this species plays in its ecosystem and why conservation and education are essential to dispelling fear and promoting coexistence. From its lightning speed to its legendary status, the Black Mamba is a creature that commands both respect and understanding. =========================================================== Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
