The king cobra is the largest venomous snake in the world, with an average length of 3 to 4m, there are cases of recorded king cobras up to 6m long. This venomous snake lives mainly in the rain forests and plains of India, southern China and Southeast Asia.
The king cobra’s food is other snakes, even this snake can eat its own kind. The role of the king cobra is to control the number of snakes in the area where it lives.
What about pythons, reptiles with superior size and strength compared to snakes, will the king cobra have enough power to attack and eat meat? The answer is absolutely world.
Accordingly, a group of tourists walking at Lam Pee waterfall area (Phang Nga province, Thailand), captured the moment the king cobra was swallowing its prey, a python the size of a snake. large, after a “death fight” between two animals.
Witnesses said they had previously seen the snake wrapped tightly around the opponent’s body in an attempt to use its power to squeeze and kill the king cobra. However, the king cobra was also quick to counterattack when biting on the python’s neck.
The python was bleeding heavily due to the venom of the king cobra pumped into its body after the bite. Not long after, the end of the “death battle” became clear when the python became immobile and died from the venom of the king cobra.
The king cobra then devoured its prey with a body size even larger than itself.
According to many animal experts, in this case, the king cobra is a predator, actively attacking the python to eat meat. The clip is proof that the python’s “muscular strength” could not resist the venom of the king cobra.
Although the king cobra’s venom is not the strongest of any venomous snake, the amount of poison they use in one bite is enough to kill 20 adults or even an elephant. The venom of the king cobra affects the respiratory centers in the brain, causing respiratory arrest and heart failure.
King cobras are considered to be quite shy snakes, often finding ways to hide when confronting humans and only attacking when threatened or provoked.
