Cobras are extremely venomous snakes that can be found throughout Africa. This name is often used to refer to the Elapidae cobra species and most of them belong to the genus Naja. Of course, these snakes all carry venom and can be dangerous to humans.

With such a scary appearance and “superior” skills in using poison, most creatures in the world when encountering cobras have to avoid them, except for some animals that “don’t care about life”. “like a mongoose. This is a small animal, similar in size to a domestic cat, and belongs to a mammal.

Most mongooses have small heads that are long and flat and gradually point towards the nose, short ears and rounded ear flaps. The fighting weapon of this mongoose is long, sharp claws combined with strong jaws, along with quick and sharp intelligence, making any opponent wary.

But, the outstanding point that can make mongooses not afraid of “colliding” with cobras lies in their special anti-poison mechanism. Surrounded by venom-immune membranes, venomous snakes of Africa must also become the focus of their meals. Besides the body secreting an immune system to the venom, the technique of approaching and killing the prey is clever and delicate.

When attacking a cobra, the mongoose often erects its tail, confusing the poisonous snake. Mongooses, like many other snake predators, will try to bite the cobra from behind the head.

Although it has high “poison resistance”, that does not mean the mongoose can underestimate the strength of the cobra.
