The black mamba is actually a light grey, so why is it called the bla… OH GOD CLOSE THE MOUTH CLOSE THE MOUTH.

Yes, the inside of its mouth is black. It’s like staring into the abyss. Other than that, its aggressive temperament, its potent venom, the fact that it’s one of the world’s fastest snakes, and its ability to lift the front third of its body off the ground so it’s basically staring you in the eye, it’s not that scary. Think of it as a long kitten.
