Snakes and mongooses are naturally hostile against one another since a snake must ᴋɪʟʟ a mongoose before a mongoose can ᴋɪʟʟ a snake, and vice versa. They essentially have to ᴋɪʟʟ one another in order to survive, which causes them to dislike one another somewhat.
A ғɪɢʜᴛ between a mongoose and a cobra would likely end with the mongoose winning. According to general agreement, a mongoose typically prevails over snakes in roughly 80% of encounters. The mongoose wins because of its successful strategy of assault. The mongoose will continue to lunge and Bɪᴛᴇ at the snake until it is worn out.
At that point, the mongoose will enter and Bɪᴛᴇ the head. One Bɪᴛᴇ from a sᴋɪʟʟed mongoose is all it takes to crack the snake’s head. When the mongoose is unsᴋɪʟʟed or makes a mistake, the snake usually wins. If the snake can manage to land enough Bɪᴛᴇs, the extra venom will ᴋɪʟʟ the mongoose.
Snakes are seriously ᴛʜʀᴇᴀᴛened by mongooses. Additionally, they devour the eggs of rare birds and sea turtles and spread a few ᴛᴇʀʀɪʙʟᴇ ᴅɪsᴇᴀsᴇs. They won’t likely bother you, though, if you don’t get too ᴄʟᴏsᴇ. A typical mongoose would rather prefer to avoid a ғɪɢʜᴛ with a larger animal. It might Bɪᴛᴇ you if it feels cornered, intimidated, or concerned for the safety of its young.
Let’s take a look at a fierce battle between mongoose and cobra snake in the video below:
