The mongoose, on the other hand, is the creature that the king cobra fears the most in the entire universe. Why is that? The mongoose can withstand the deadly bite of the venomous snake, and it emerges victorious in 75% to 80% of encounters with cobras.
The Indian gray mongoose is renowned for its inclination to confront and consume perilous snakes such as cobras. They possess resistance to venom due to their specific cholinergic receptors, and their rapid reflexes and dense fur make them invaluable in combat situations.
A video capturing an intense battle between a king cobra and an Indian gray mongoose has taken the internet by storm. The mongoose and the king cobra appear to have crossed into each other’s territory and engaged in a fierce confrontation. The king cobra and mongoose are seen clashing and evading each other’s strikes until the mongoose successfully captures the snake in its mouth.
