Dendroaspis spp., commonly known as mambas, are fast, agile snakes found in sub-Saharan Africa. They are known for their smooth scales, elongated bodies, and potent neurotoxic venom. Mambas prefer arboreal habitats, often residing in trees or dense shrubs, and are diurnal hunters, preying on birds and small mammals.

Dendroaspis spp., commonly known as mambas, are native to sub-Saharan Africa. They are predominantly found in parts of West Africa, East Africa, Central Africa, and Southern Africa. The distribution includes countries such as South Africa, Kenya, Tanzania, Ghana, and Nigeria.

Mambas typically inhabit a variety of environments, ranging from tropical rainforests to savannas and woodlands. They prefer regions with dense foliage or vegetation that provide cover and hunting grounds. The climate in these areas is usually warm, with a mix of wet and dry seasons, conducive to their lifestyle.

Mambas are arboreal and terrestrial, adapting to life both in trees and on the ground. They are highly agile and fast, which aids in their predation of birds, small mammals, and other reptiles. Their role in the ecosystem includes controlling the population of their prey and serving as prey for larger predators when young.
