The tale about it being as fast as a horse is obviously not true .....

Apparently black mambas are very swift, as snakes go: "Known as the world's fastest snake, the black mamba can reach speeds of between 7 and 12 mph and possibly as fast as 15 mph for short distances while chasing prey."

Shudder....
