Black mambas are diurnal snakes the will usually be seen hunting during the day or night. Their primary source of food are warm-blooded animals. You won’ see them trying to take on something much larger then them, their food usually consists of small rodents, ground squirrels, or in some cases other small mammals. In the process of hunting the mamba will strike its prey twice and then wait for the venom to settle in. The venom the mambas uses is a neurotoxin which after a short period of time will paralyze the prey. Once the prey has been totally paralyzed the snake will move in and eat its meal. When hunting a bird the mamba will then wait and snatch the bird with its mouth and hold on to prevent any chance of the prey getting away. Digestion of the prey usually takes anywhere from 8-10hours at the most. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_mamba]] | |||
