You know your in Africa ... when ...

There is a Black Mamba at your training center.
As you can see in the picture it was taken care of
and no one was either hurt nor surprised by it's
presence.

I have some info regarding the Black Mamba ...
if your interested, then by all means read on ...

Black mambas are fast, nervous, lethally venomous, and
when threatened, highly aggressive. They have been blamed
for numerous human deaths, and African myths exaggerate
their capabilities to legendary proportions. For these reasons,
the black mamba is widely considered the world's deadliest
snake.

They live in the savannas and rocky hills of southern and
eastern Africa. They are Africa's longest venomous snake,
reaching up to 14 feet (4.5 meters) in length, although 8.2 feet
(2.5 meters) is more the average. They are also among the
fastest snakes in the world, slithering at speeds of up to 12.5 miles
per hour (20 kilometers per hour).

They get their name not from their skin color, which tends to
be olive to gray, but rather from the blue-black color of the
inside of their mouth, which they display when threatened.

Black mambas are shy and will almost always seek to escape
when confronted. However, when cornered, these snakes will
raise their heads, sometimes with a third of their body off the
ground, spread their cobra-like neck-flap, open their black
mouths and hiss. If an attacker persists, the mamba will strike
not once, but repeatedly, injecting large amounts of potent
neuro and cardiotoxin with each strike.

Before the advent of black mamba antivenin, a bite from this
fearsome serpent was 100 percent fatal, usually within about
20 minutes.

Humm, the Black Mamba is probably something that would be
better neither shaken, nor stirred, wouldn't you agree?
