Banakon resembles a Black Mamba more than a King Cobra in terms of physical look. In contrast to King Cobra, who has a thicker body than Banakon, Banakon has a thinner and longer body. Moreover, the Banakon moves faster than a King Cobra. I hope this species will be the subject of additional research. There are other rumors that Banakon is not a native of the Philippines but originated from the other country. Accidentally brought here by the grass straw plant, which was introduced for the purpose of feeding livestocks.
Neither. Mamba kids are on their own the moment they hatch out of their eggs. Neither of its parents, take care of it.
yes it depends on what snake it is. if it is a smaller snake, then no. but if it is larger then yes.
While a snake may be able to move faster than a cheetah in a short burst (such as striking at prey), a cheetah has the fastest sustained land speed of any animal on earth (70+ mph). However, many birds are able to reach air speeds well in excess of 100 mph.
It depends on the category of snake you are talking about, when it comes to consrtiction, the boa constrictor and the anoconda are the most popular because of their mass and strength. When it comes to venom, the Hydrophis Belcheri is the deadliest. But when it comes to popularity, the rattlesnake is the most well-known snake
Black Mamba habitats include Savanna, Woodlands, Framlands, dense forests and even Swamps. It prefers semi-arid, dry bush kind of habitats where there is abundant prey. They can be found in numerous countries in Africa like, Congo, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Somalia, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Djibouti, Chad, Nigeria etc.
The Black Mamba is faster, but the King Cobra is the worlds longest venomous snake and its diet is mostly made up of other snakes, the King Cobras venom can also kill up to 5 times as fast as the Black mambas. Personally I think the King Cobra would win.
Black Mambas breed only once a year. Breeding season is in Spring which is around the month of September. Eggs develop for around 60 days inside the female. After that, the female seeks a suitable place (like an abandoned termite mound) to lay its eggs. Around 15 to 25 eggs are laid and guarded aggressively by the Mother. Eggs incubate for around 60 days before hatching. The young ones are about 50 cms in length at birth and are totally independent. They hunt and feed for themselves right from day one. They are also venomous at birth. Though their venom is as toxic as the adults, the quantity is much lower.
i think the anaconda is stronger because it is the biggest and longest with a huge mouth which could swallow the black mamba. fail. it depend on your definition of strength. while it is true the anaconda is larger and longer, it is a restrictor and crushes its prey. the mamba on the other hand, is a highly venomous and aggressive snake and is very agile and fast. a single bite would most likely kill the nonvenomous anaconda in minutes
The taipan is more venomous, ounce for ounce. But the eastern diamondback is a very large snake, and dispenses copious amounts of venom.
This would depend on a variety of things, the type of snake, if they got antivenom in time, how bad the bite was, the condition of the person bitten. For instance a bite off a Black Mamba is almost 100% death without the antivenom, the European adder on the other hand while bites can be painful they're seldom fatal.
Black Mamba Venom is the most rapid-acting venom of any snake species. It contains highly potent neurotoxins. It also contains cardiotoxins. Even a 10 to 15mg quantity of venom can be deadly to a human adult. It delivers an average of around 100 to 120 mg of venom and depending on the quantity of venom injected, it can potentially kill a human in less than 20 minutes. If bitten, neurological, respiratory and cardiovascular symptons begin within 15 mins or less. Symptions include dizziness, drowsiness, coughing and difficulty to breath. The fatality rate depends on various factors, such as the health, size, age, psychological state of the victim, the penetration of one or both fangs from the snake, amount of venom injected, location of the bite, and proximity to major blood vessels
As far as i know the only difference is the fact that the inside of a black mambas mouth is black. Just had a quick look in my books, there habitats are different and the Black mambas venom is more toxic.
No. It is not. The term herbivore means an animal that feeds on vegetation only. Like all snakes the black mamba is carnivorous, (feeds off the flesh of other animals). An animal that feeds on both vegetation as well as meat is called an omnivore. The black mamba spends most of it's time in the trees, and feeds mostly on small birds and lizards.
The answer is No. A black headed sea snake is way more poisonous than a black mamba. A black Mamba doesn't even rank in the top ten and a black headed sea snake does. You get bitten by black mambas more often, but that doesn't mean that the sea snake is less poisonous.

Yes. A King Cobra bite can kill a person in just a few minutes. Lucky for us it tends to avoid human confrontation as much as possible.
This is how black mambas reproduce!
First, a male black mamba falls in love with a female black mamba. If the female hates or does not like the male black mamba, she will kill the male. If the female black mamba likes the male black mamba, they will have a nice sexuality time (has sex).
Second, then a few months/one year later they will have babies.
Then the same thing will happen again.
its found in Australia its called inland taipan also called by people in Australia the firerce snake. it kills more people tthan a black mamba,cobras and vipers.
EDIT: Actually Belchers Sea Snake is considered the most venomous - it's venom has to be quick acting, as it feeds on fish.
