    Default Cobra vs Mongoose

    Kinda interesting. (Mongoose's are a cobra's natural enemy - everything get's eaten by something!)

    I have seen that live--although the snake was tied in a knot and I believe died when I saw it. I was pretty young so I don't really remember, but it made a big impression on me!

    That's disgusting! Yes, it happens in nature but in nature both also have the opportunity to flee (and don't get me started on tying a snake in a knot....) or are motivated by their own needs not to flee and not by some human's little-dick need to show how inferior animals are or something.

    Oh, this isn't about the two drag racers of the 60s and 70s?

    The mongoose has learned over the millenia how to beat the cobra, although with a straight-strike viper like a rattlesnake, the mongoose would be at a disadvantage. Basically, the mongoose tires the cobra out through the cobra's repeated strike attempts, until the mongoose can dart up and crunch the tired snake's skull.

    In my very early years, I was given Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to read, by Rudyard Kipling, and it got me interested in the mongoose-cobra thing for a while. However, unlike what Kipling writes, a mongoose will more often avoid a confrontation. There's easier prey out there.

    I am somewhat disgusted/amused by the little disclaimer at the top. "No animals were harmed". It sure looked to me like the cobra was harmed.
