Mambas are considered one of the world's deadliest snakes. They are four mamba snake species: the black mamba and the three green mambas. The green mambas are green in color and get their name from this scale coloration, but black mambas range from brown to olive green in color. Their name actually comes from the black inside their mouths. Mamba snakes are arboreal, meaning they live in trees, at least the green varieties are. Black mambas enjoy trees as well as rock crevices, hollow logs, and even termite mounds. These snakes can be fatal to humans, but there is an antivenom for their bite.
