A spine-chilling face-off between cobra and Indian grey mongoose has emerged on social media.


We all know that mongooses can kill cobras, and they are also well-known as their predator. Usually, cobra, or any other specie of snake, avoids any confrontation with their biggest enemy, the mongoose. They have immunity against snake's venom and are capable of defeating snake(s) at least 75 per cent to 80 per cent of the time. That is why the mongoose is discovered as a vicious snake fighter with short legs.

The cobra is also one of the deadly reptiles in the world. The venomous snakes can kill humans in less than 20 minutes. So, one can imagine how dangerous a fight between these two can be. One such video of a mongoose and cobra's fight has emerged on social media and has gone viral.
