🐍Eastern green mamba
东部绿曼巴蛇（學名：Dendroaspis angusticeps），別名:白唇曼巴，是曼巴蛇屬的一种剧毒蛇种，生活在东非南部沿海地区。1849年，苏格兰外科医生兼动物学家安德鲁·史密斯描述道，它体型纤细，背部为鲜绿色，腹部为黄绿色。雌性成體平均体长约2米（6英尺7英寸），雄性略小一些。 东部绿曼巴蛇性情害羞，善于隐藏，人们也很难见到。之所以说它们善于隐藏，主要是因为生活在常绿灌木丛和树林中，它们身体呈现的绿色可以很好地和周围环境融合。人们还观察到东部绿曼巴会像许多蝰蛇一样，“守株待兔”伏击捕食，和其他眼镜蛇科典型的主动觅食方式不同。它捕食鸟类，卵，蝙蝠和啮齿类动物，如小老鼠，大鼠和沙鼠。 它的毒液由神经毒素和心脏毒素组成。中毒的症状包括咬伤部位肿胀，头晕和恶心，伴有呼吸和吞咽困难，心律不齐和抽搐，并发展为呼吸衰竭。造成严重中毒的咬伤可能很快即可致命。
