What does MAMBA mean in Scrabble?
noun
zoology
A large, fast-moving, highly venomous snake native to sub-Saharan Africa.
A mamba hunts by speed rather than ambush, and its bite delivers a powerful neurotoxic venom that made the black mamba in particular one of the most feared snakes on the continent. Several species share the name, including the mostly arboreal green mamba, which lives in trees rather than on the ground. Despite the reputation, a mamba generally avoids humans and strikes mainly when it feels cornered or threatened.
