🐍Eastern green mamba
Vihermamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps) on Afrikasta kotoisin oleva käärme. Vihermamba on erittäin nopealiikkeinen ja tappavan myrkyllinen. Se kuuluu maailman kymmenen myrkyllisimmän käärmelajin joukkoon, mutta ei ole yhtä myrkyllinen kuin mustamamba. Vaikka vihermamba on erittäin myrkyllinen, se tavallisesti välttelee ihmistä joten sitä ei pidetä mustamamban veroisena uhkana. Se on pääasiassa päiväeläin, mutta voi saalistaa myös öisin. Vihermamballe hyvin läheistä sukua ovat lännenvihermamba, jamesoninmamba ja mustamamba.
