Mystery Animal #20: Mamba

Pearly
Pointed, perfect
Perfect in every way
So precious and alluring
Beasts come to them every day
Diamonds in the rough; jewels of the Nile
These are my feeding secret; the keys to my eating style
Come just a little closer............. Oh, they're magnificent!
Come just a little closer.... CHHHOMPPP!
MMMM! So sorry. You're spent!
But you can tell by my smile:
it was indeed a pleasure
to dine with you.
Meaty, tender
Perfect!
