The black mamba is the fastest land snake in the world, reaching speeds of 12 miles per hour. It is also the largest venomous snake in Africa and the second longest venomous snake in the world.

Because it's not actually black !

The black mamba is olive-green in colour. The name comes from the colour of the inside of its mouth - which is jet-black !

The main similarity is that the are both snakes. (The Python is nonvenomous and the Black Mamba is venomous, so that's a difference). Also, they are both extremely aggressive.

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.


Banakon snake is a king cobra or a black mamba?

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.
