What animals eat black mamba?

Answer 1

Eagles and Vultures rarely.

Answer 2

The black mamba, one of the most venomous snakes in the world, has very few natural predators due to its potent venom. However, some animals that have been known to prey on black mambas include Birds of Prey such as eagles and secretary birds, as well as mongoose species like the slender mongoose. These predators have developed resistance to the snake's neurotoxic venom and have the speed and agility to avoid its strikes.

Answer 3

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. Black mambas feed mainly on warmblooded prey such as rodents, ground squirrels, hyraxes and other small mammals. Birds are occasionally taken. Black mambas' eating reptiles and other snakes is quite rare and there is little documentation to substantiate it.

Answer 4

Yes. Mongooses eat young black mambas, secretary birds and large species of eagle eat adult mambas.

Answer 5

Vultures and eagles can scoop up a black mamba and kill it. Otherwise land mammals usually do not mess with the mamba.
