It'd be nice if the cobra took out at least 50% of them though hehehe

I'll put my money on the mongoose aswell. Good looking cobra to.

I guess when the odds are stacked against you like the poor cobra, what chance do you stand to win.

 

[Mr.K]

one on one its bad enough for the poor old cobra, let alone 20 against one!! :|

 

[SLACkra]

let alone 20 against one!!

Beautiful Cobra!
Shame it almost certainly would have been the last photo taken of it before the furry one's had dinner.

Unfortunately for the cobra, the mongooses have a certain immunity to the venom.

It's a fait accompli. Great photo tho'!

immunity to venom is good. though if i was the cobra i would prefer the mongooses to something like those african honey badgers. saw a documentary on them and this one went off against a puff adder got bitten killed the snake then felt a bit iffy for a couple hours, then back to normal eating his snake.

not fully imune but definatly not as bad as it would be for us!

RE: Re: RE: Who dares wins

i think the plural is still mongoose

RE: Re: RE: Who dares wins

In india when the mogoose are in a group they take it in turns to attack the cobra, same in africa i think, but each one strikes a fraction of a second after the previous. So with 20 mongoose, 5 or 10 could attack within a second or 2, making it impossible for the cobra to succesfully defend itself, 99 times out of 100 the mongoose always wins!

HEHE bit of a contradiction....

one went off against a puff adder got bitten killed the snake

I think I saw that one Andrew - was he bitten on the face and it swelled up to the size of a cricket ball...

That was pretty amazing - I was sure it was dead...

Moongoose generally win, slightly faster reflexes than the cobra and mass together making it hard for snake to define a single target. Thats nature, sometimes harsh, always amazing!
