The eastern green mamba (Dendroaspis angusticeps), also known as the common mamba, green mamba, or white-mouthed mamba, is a large, tree-dwelling, highly venomous snake species of the mamba genus Dendroaspis. This snake mostly inhabits the coastal regions of southern East Africa. Adult females average approximately 6.6 ft in length, and males are slightly smaller. Eastern green mambas prey on birds, eggs, bats, and rodents such as mice, rats, and gerbils. The elusiveness of green mambas is attributed to its ability to blend with its environment, and its arboreal lifestyle. This agile ambush predation will often wait for prey to pass before attacking but they also hunt and stalk like most other snakes.

The eastern green mamba is a highly venomous snake. The venom consists of both neurotoxins and cardiotoxins. Symptoms of envenomation by this species include swelling of the bite site, dizziness and nausea, accompanied by difficulty breathing and swallowing, irregular heartbeat and convulsions progressing to respiratory paralysis. Bites that produce severe envenomation can lead to death in humans as well. Eastern green mamba basking in tree was filmed by Heiko Kiera aka Ojatro in 2010.
