The cobra possesses a terrifying venom that makes very few animals dare to “play face” with this animal. However, the mongoose is considered to be the nemesis of all venomous snakes thanks to its strong resistance to venom. The clip recording a life-and-death encounter between a mongoose and a cobra shows that.

The clip shows that the mongoose has shown initiative when repeatedly attacking the snake, while the snake has both counterattacked, launched bites at the opponent, and tried to run away.

The mongoose took full advantage of its speed to evade the snake’s pecks, and at the same time stalked the opportunity to bite the snake’s neck.

After a while of fighting, both animals fell into a state of exhaustion. The cobra is almost motionless, lying with its head on the ground. As for the mongoose, this animal can only drag, with its hind legs almost paralyzed.

Despite being resistant to snake venom, mongooses are still exhausted from snake bites and need time to recover.
