Beautiful Cobra!
Shame it almost certainly would have been the last photo taken of it before the furry one's had dinner.

Unfortunately for the cobra, the mongooses have a certain immunity to the venom.moosenoose said:It'd be nice if the cobra took out at least 50% of them though

RE: Re: RE: Who dares wins
immunity to venom is good. though if i was the cobra i would prefer the mongooses to something like those african honey badgers. saw a documentary on them and this one went off against a puff adder got bitten killed the snake then felt a bit iffy for a couple hours, then back to normal eating his snake.
not fully imune but definatly not as bad as it would be for us!

In india when the mogoose are in a group they take it in turns to attack the cobra, same in africa i think, but each one strikes a fraction of a second after the previous. So with 20 mongoose, 5 or 10 could attack within a second or 2, making it impossible for the cobra to succesfully defend itself, 99 times out of 100 the mongoose always wins!

I think I saw that one Andrew - was he bitten on the face and it swelled up to the size of a cricket ball...SLACkra said:

Moongoose generally win, slightly faster reflexes than the cobra and mass together making it hard for snake to define a single target. Thats nature, sometimes harsh, always amazing!
