Green Mamba

Green mambas are carnivores (meat eaters). They will eat eggs, birds, frogs, lizards, rodents, squirrels, hyraxes or other small mammals. If they can't find food in the trees, they may hunt on the ground. The green mamba is mostly a solitary animal. Many reptiles are highly sensitive to the altered temperatures that may result from climate change due to their ectothermy which requires that they rely on ambient environmental temperatures to maintain critical physiological processes. Due to the variety of snakes, lizards, crocodilians, and turtles in our world (traditionally classified as reptiles), and because climate change data and projections vary with location, it will be important to consider each species and location separately when considering the potential effects of altered climate on these animals. Human-driven climate change — including rising temperatures and an increase in severe events like drought, heat waves, floods, cold spells, and wildfires.
