Black Mambas are among the most poisonous snakes in Africa. They are armed with a deadly poison that can kill an individual in only 30 minutes.
It is also among the most swift snakes on the planet and can travel around at 12.5 miles at a time.
The species is typically timid and secluded and would prefer to avoid humans instead of attacking. However, it can be aggressive if it is provoked or in danger
Black Mambas are also defensive when they're injured or frightened.
Staff at the school were in a state of confusion on how the snake entered the classroom because the classroom is located away from the grassy areas which make up the snake's ideal habitat.
However, the deputy provincial director of education Themba Mangwiro told local media that the snake was observed by a villager much time before this incident.
