Black Mambas: Sudden Death!

By Nancy White

Book Overview

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. Black Mambas: Sudden Death is part of Bearport's Fangs series.
