The video is less than 30 seconds long, capturing the overwhelming victory of the mongoose against a dangerous opponent, the cobra. The interesting thing is that because this fight took place in the middle of the road, many people stopped to film, waiting for the civet to finish its “road clearing mission” before continuing to move.
With a decisive bite, the civet grabbed the cobra’s neck. After making sure the prey was firmly in its sharp teeth, the civet moved like a scissor to a snake and crept into the bushes on the other side of the road.
