Default Random find: snake sprinter

I just read that the Black Mamba can reach a top speed of 24 km/h.

That is 400 m/min. That is 15 seconds over 100 meters.

When I was at school, I did jogging and long distance and orientation running. Endurance over longer distance was okay for me, but I never were a sprinter - running fast was what I was not made for. I took short of 14 seconds over 100m.

To imagine that I try to run away from that reptile, but cannot.

That made me say "Gulp!"
