Deadly African snake (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mamba

'deadly african snake' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for mamba that I've seen before include "Death-dealing African" , "Deadly creature" , "Poisonous creature" , "one venomous" , "Venomous African snake (often black)" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times, The New York Times and The Sun.
