Natural enemies of the king cobra: mongoose, crocodile, Komodo giant lizard, hawk, etc. The king cobra is also known as the mountain snake, the mountain peak, the big flat-necked snake, the big cobra, the big flat-headed wind, the flat-necked snake, the big puffy-necked snake, the blowing wind snake, the mountain standard, and so on. Although it is called "king cobra", this species is different from the real cobra, it is not a member of the cobra genus, but belongs to the independent king cobra genus. It is more ferocious than other cobras, and is extremely agile, with a flexible head and neck, and a large amount of venom, making it one of the most dangerous snakes in the world.
The king cobra is found in southwestern and southern China, usually in grasslands, open slopes and woods. Its main food is other snakes of similar species, so it is difficult to see other species of snakes in the territory of the king cobra. The king cobra is extremely venomous.
Natural Enemy 1: Crocodiles
If the king cobra accidentally crawls past an adult crocodile, the crocodile, which is good at camouflaging itself and waiting for its prey, will suddenly attack. It will bite the king snake into two pieces. The crocodile's scale armor is so hard that the king snake can't bite through it.
Natural enemy two: mongoose
Mongoose is not a natural enemy, of course, can not say so. But really fight alone, for the wild king snake, the mongoose is not sure of victory, adult king cobra body size is huge, some up to 6 meters long, the mongoose will also be very afraid of the king snake, usually the mongoose will attack 3-4 meters long snakes, but encountered a large king snake, the mongoose is also unable to do anything. This is because a single blow from a king snake can also be fatal to the mongoose. However, if the king snake encounters a mongoose group in an open area (as mongooses are often found in groups of several, and often the mother mongoose with a group of young mongooses), the king snake will have a hard time escaping unscathed, and there is a high probability that the mongoose will become a meal in the mongoose's mouth.
Natural Enemy #3: The Komodo Gargoyle
The Komodo Gargoyle, an Australian bully, is a very vicious reptile. Its body is immune to most snake venoms and its scales and armor are tough. Of course, king snakes and giant lizards are distributed in different areas and will not meet, but predictably, if the king cobra appears in the Komodo giant lizard's field of vision, the snake is included in the giant lizard's recipe, and the giant lizard will take the king snake as food. Usually the iguana will take the initiative to attack the snake, as long as it bites on the king snake a bite, the king snake must die, Komodo giant lizard saliva is not only poisonous, but also contains a large number of viruses and bacteria, even if the king snake can overcome the iguana, it will be infected with toxicity by the iguana's saliva and die.
