 ==Your removal of referenced material in the Black Mamba article== 
 Before you remove any referenced material, you must first discuss it. So first we discuss it, then we clean it up (which I think it doesn't any ""cleaning up""). Who are you to claim ""emotive adjectives""? Are you a herpetologist? a scientist? a biologist? Do you know anything about snakes at all? It is a well known fact among the herpetological community that the black mamba is regarded as the deadlest snake in the world (this is based on the fact that untreated bites are 100% fatal - no snake besides the Coastal Taipan comes close - most snakes, over 90% of them, don't even reach the 50% region of mortality rate) and most herpetologist agree that when molested, the species dendroaspis polylepis is the most aggressive/most difficult to handle in the world. It is a combination of its size, speed (fastest snake in the world), agility, virulent venom toxicity, and extremely explosive nature that make this snake the deadliest and most aggressive species. This is something agreed upon among most herpetologist's. I've studied herpetology, particularly snakes and especially members of the family Elapidae for a very, very long time. I've had hands on experience with snakes (mostly boas and pythons, but I've handled venomous snakes aswell, including a number of Rattlesnake's, an Eyelash viper and three kinds of cobra species (Naja naja, Naja nivea, and Naja kaouthia). So I'm a lot more versed in the subject of venomous snakes than you are, no offense.   "
