Despite its attempts to fight back, the king snake could not survive after being bitten on the head and swallowed by a cobra.
In the clip, a king snake is engaged in a deadly battle with a cobra.
The cobra delivers a fatal bite directly to the head of its opponent.
Although facing a formidable enemy, the cobra demonstrates its prowess by delivering a lethal bite straight to the king snake’s head. Upon being attacked, the snake immediately coiled up and attempted to constrict the cobra in retaliation.
However, all its efforts were thwarted as it became paralyzed from the cobra’s venom. Not only did the cobra bite the head causing the king snake to “foam at the mouth,” but it also swallowed its opponent whole.
The king snake, also known as the Asian reticulated python, is a large species of snake and a significant rival of the king cobra. Additionally, the king snake is a favored prey of this highly venomous snake.
When fully grown, both the king cobra and the king snake are similar in size and muscular strength. However, compared to most snake species, the king cobra possesses a more potent weapon: its venom.
Although the venom of the king cobra is not the strongest among venomous snakes, the amount of toxin it delivers in a single bite is sufficient to kill 20 adult humans or even an elephant. The venom affects the respiratory centers in the brain, leading to respiratory failure and heart collapse.
