Anyway, I was being chased by a Black Mamba - so i assume I was somewhere where they reside - and it was actually quite scary as the darned thing was really quick. I remember shouting to the others --in the dream-- that BMs are able to slither at a pace of 20 km/h (impressive), so they'd better get a move on. Everywhere I went/ran to there was another [the same?] snake to continue its pursuit. Knackering, especially as I am so out of shape at the moment! I don't know how it all ended but it was a strange dream.
I'm not someone who knows a lot about snakes but I do remember that tv-show very vividly as I found it a bit unsettling that BM have a reputation for being aggressive and territorial so rather than trying to hide when there are people about, they're infamous for not doing so + they don't warn before they strike (such as a rattlesnake) and there have even been events when the BM has sought out the human...
Black Mambas are very beautiful in all their scariness and it would be a frightful experience to come across one in the sweltering heat and then trying to outrun it? Nah, I'd rather watch one on telly and let other people do the outrunning.
