The black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) belongs to the family Elapidae, which includes venomous snakes such as cobras and kraits. It is classified within the genus Dendroaspis, which consists of tree-dwelling snakes. The species name "polylepis" refers to its scale structure. The black mamba is known for its speed, agility, and highly potent venom, making it one of the most dangerous snakes in Africa.
