    A mamba strike is known as the 'Kiss of Death'. The strike from a mamba is so fast and its fangs so short and fine, a bite is almost imperceptible. In Africa it's believed that up to 20,000 people die from snakebites each year and the most feared serpent of all is the Black Mamba. This image is from Predator in Paradise.
