A black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) - better keep some distance!
You can see here, where the name "Black Mamba" comes from - it is the black mouth.

The snake was not harmed in any way.

Boomslangs are tree snakes with rear fangs. But they can open the mouth wide enough to get You, believe me. Once biten, nothing happens for about 24 hours. Then the blood vessels become more and more damaged and You face a slow death of inner bleedings.
