The Mamabas dahn, danh, dahn...

Hello, its me again. Dr. Noodle Soup here to tell you about  MORE ABOUT MAMBAS! There arefour different species: Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis), Eastern Green Mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps), Western Green Mamba (Dendroaspis virids) and Jameson's Mamba (Dendroaspis jamesoni). 


Mambas are highly venomous.  The black mamba can strike up to 12 times! wow! and ouch!

Green mambas are less aggressive but no less deadly.  Note: It would still hurt though!
I'll write more about mambas tomorrow because it is very late.  But to answer Madison the Inscrutable's question, "Why are GREEN MAMBAS called GREEN MAMBAS?" 

I believe they are called Green Mambas because their skin is green, although when they are born, it is yellow.

Here is a cute green mamba picture.

Check out this cool video from the Cincinnati Zoo. Don't let it confuse you.  There are actually four different mamba species - yes, four!
