Black adder may refer to either of two classifications of snake:
- Vipera berus, a venomous viper species found in Europe and Asia.
- Heterodon platirhinos, a non-venomous snake found in the United States.
Famous quotes containing the word black:
“The confirmation of Clarence Thomas, one of the most conservative voices to be added to the [Supreme] Court in recent memory, carries a sobering message for the African- American community.... As he begins to make his mark upon the lives of African Americans, we must acknowledge that his successful nomination is due in no small measure to the support he received from black Americans.”
—Kimberly Crenshaw (b. 1959)
