Punch is excellently produced and especially suitable for rock, pop, jazz and heavy drum. It helps the power amp with speed and well focused power.

25. Dendroaspis Polylepis (Black Mamba): Narrative The mamba differs from most snakes in that it strikes its prey and leaves itto die. As in most snakes, the mamba can swallow extremely large prey. http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/accounts/dendroaspis/d._polylepis$narrativ

The University of Michigan Museum of Zoology Animal Diversity Web About us ... Glossary Dendroaspis polylepis Black Mamba Written by Chad H. Mummert, Biology 108 student (1995) Classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Reptilia Order: Squamata Family: Elapidae Genus Dendroaspis Species: Dendroaspis polylepis Table of Contents Geographic Range Natural History Food Habits Reproduction ... References Geographic Range Ethiopian : Eastern half of tropical Africa, from southern Kenya south to Mozambique, bush areas of Botswana and southwest Africa and into Angola Natural History Food Habits The Black Mamba feeds mainly on small, warm blooded prey, including rodents and birds. The mamba differs from most snakes in that it strikes its prey and leaves it to die. The venom injected is strong enough to kill its prey in a matter of minutes, after which the snake ingests it whole. As in most snakes, the Mamba can swallow extremely large prey. This is due partially to the elasticity of the skin, but the main reason a Mamba can fit prey up to four times the size of its head into its mouth is that its lower jaw can dislocate, allowing the prey to fit inside. It can fully digest most prey rather quickly, in a matter of eight to ten hours. Reproduction Mating occurs in spring after the male finds a female from her scent trail. Copulation can be drawn out to hours or days. There is much foreplay, in which the male checks out the female by "looking" her over with his tounge. After copulation, the female Black Mamba lays up to 14 eggs at once. The eggs themselves are long and thin, ranging from four to six centimeters in length and three to three and a half centimeters in width.

Snakes in Paradise Back to Slithering Heights Black Mamba Dendroaspis polylepis Order: Squamata Family: Elapidae I. DESCRIPTION: Despite its name, the black mamba is rarely black, but uniformly dark olive to brown or steel gray above and grayish-white below. It often has black speckling along the back half of its body. Although the black mamba's scales are deep olive or gray, the skin between the scales and the inside of the mamba's mouth are black. The black mamba averages 8 to 9 feet long, although 10- to 12-foot specimens are not uncommon. Some mambas grow to as long at 14 feet. It has a long, slender coffin-shaped head. II. GEOGRAPHICAL RANGE AND HABITAT: The black mamba's range encompasses South Africa (Pondoland, Natal and Transvaal), Botswana, Namibia, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Angola, Zaire and eastern Africa. It inhabits lower-altitude areas in savannas, semi-arid bush country, open woodlands and rocky outcrops. Of the four species of mambas, the black mamba is the most terrestrial; however, it will sometimes ascend trees to search for prey, bask or escape predators.

31. Snake Tales | Emeralds Of The Rainforest -- West African Green Mamba as significantly less aggressive and less toxic than their cousin, the black mamba,which is in the Herpetarium, arrived at my house to take the snakes to the http://www.lavibora.com/Tales/ZooNews-3rd02.html

EMERALDS OF THE RAINFOREST THE WEST AFRICAN GREEN MAMBA By Jim Campbell The wait was finally over. The announcement came over the airport loudspeaker that American Airlines, Flight 703, from Dallas/Fort Worth, was now landing. Just minutes earlier, the drive from Brownsville to Harlingen seemed to take forever. Would the flight be early? Would I be late? These short trips to the airport always stressed me beyond belief. But now, they were here and safely on the ground. The mambas are relatives of the cobras and belong to the venomous group of snakes known as Elapids. Large, non-hinged fangs, at the front of their mouths, characterize all species in this group. Their venom contains potent neurotoxins and cardiotoxins, which affect the nervous systems of their victims, typically within 30 minutes after envenomation. Bite victims need immediate and thorough anti-venom treatment. Even so, many cases prove fatal, especially in situations where victims are delayed in reaching help, with death resulting from respiratory failure. The green mambas are regarded as significantly less aggressive and less toxic than their cousin, the black mamba, which is considered the most dangerous snake in Africa. And while they never displayed any aggression while in my possession, their 50-gallon enclosures did not do them justice. After a year in my possession, I decided to donate them to the Herpetarium at the Gladys Porter Zoo, where they could be provided a larger living environment and be enjoyed by the public. After conferring with Colette Adams, Curator of Herpetology, she agreed to provide them a new home.

38. Black Mamba they will slide away to the nearest hiding place, and are capable of doing this at20 km/h, which makes the black mamba one of the fastest snakes in the world. http://www.kingsnake.com/elapids/black_mamba.htm

Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) Black mambas are one of Africa’s most dangerous and feared snakes. Nothing is truer when you are standing in front of big black mamba hissing loudly, mouth gaping, striking rapidly in your direction. But are all the frightening stories about black mambas true? I don’t think so. On the African continent many myths are told about these wonderful creatures. Stories abound about black mambas chasing people for miles, attacking when they notice you and visiting houses to kill every single person inside. All are exaggerations. Black mambas are not as fierce as people describe them. In captivity black mambas are docile and appreciative animals that show a fantastic and active behaviour when housed in a big enclosure the right way. Black mambas belong to the genus, Dendroaspis, which translated means "tree snake". They are strong but slender in body with the average size being between 2.4 to 3 metres (7.8 - 9.8 foot). According to some reports they may grow on exception to 4.5 metres (14.7 feet). Black mambas that reach this size are obviously rare and verifiable data is actually hard to track down. The name "black mamba" is somewhat confusing as this animal is not black at all. The common name is given to the snake because the mouth is inky black on the inside. Most mambas have a dark olive, olive green, greyish brown or metal grey colour. Some of them will show a light banding around their body. Slightly speckled mambas are also not uncommon. Juvenile black mambas are light grey or olive in colour but will darken when older.

Eastern Green Mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps) Lenght: Eastern green mambas are the smallets specie of the mamba familie.

Captive bred Western Green Mambas are often yellowish or olive green in color this is probably true a lack of UV light in there captive situation.The body is strong and slender the head is distinct from the neck.

40. NWF - International Wildlife Magazine - Black Mamba began and the Kalahari blossomed with greenery, rodents and snakes, people broughtstories of mambas and cobras. But I had yet to see a black mamba in the wild http://www.nwf.org/internationalwildlife/mamba.html

Home Contact Us Search Conservation ... Get Outdoors Black Mamba! By Douglas Lee Meet the African species that one expert calls 'death incarnate' FOR MUCH OF MY LIFE I lived quite happily with the vaguely held notion that a mamba was a type of Latin American dance step. I learned of my error one evening beside a campfire in Africa, in Botswana's Okavango Delta, when my host announced that a black mamba had been seen in camp that day but not located since. A mambo, I was informed, is indeed a cousin to the tango and the cha-cha. Africa's black mamba, on the other hand, is a slender snake that grows to 4.3 meters (14 ft.) and packs a neurotoxic venom that almost always delivers speedy death. This is the sort of revelation that seizes a traveler's attention, and it filled me with a keen interest in the natural history of the creature and its potential for intersecting with my bodily health. We never did see the mamba, but it prompted me to start asking questions. I soon found that every bush person seems to have a story about the largest, quickest and most feared venomous snake of a continent loaded with reptiles of awesome powers. Throughout a range over most of sub-Saharan Africa, black mambas are the subjects of myths taken for truth and of true tales that are as strange as any myths. On alert, as when hunting or threatened, mambas travel with a third of their bodies raised off the ground, so that a sudden confrontation can instantly put the snake head-high to a human. A bite to the face or torso or a direct hit into a vein or artery can bring death from paralysis within 20 minutes.
