An old viral video of a mongoose fighting a cobra in the middle of the road has caught the attention of the Internet again after it resurfaced online on Monday. The video was shared on Twitter by Forest Service officer Susanta Nanda, who explains that while many animals won’t be able to resist a dead cobra, the mongoose has a “trick”. their own”.
mongoose avoid snakes by moving quickly and are unaffected by venom, as their specialized acetylcholine receptors make them immune to the venom.
People saw mongooses and snakes fighting to the death on the road. The cobra is seen trying to repeatedly attack the mongoose, which dodges attacks with lightning-fast reflexes.
“Animals trying to kill a snake are like killing themselves, but mangoose have tricks of their own. Living millions of years next to them, they have absorbed its venom. Agility, thick coat and produces glycoproteins that make it immune to venom, wrote Nanda while sharing the video on the microblogging platform.
The cobra continuously dodges the attacks of its predators, it runs away from the mongoose that follow to the end and does not spare it.
Finally the mongoose caught the cobra by the neck and dragged it into the grass, we think this fight can’t save its life.
