World’s Longest Venomous Snake Devours Unexpected Prey
The King Cobra is the longest venomous snake in the world. When it sees at Mangrove Snake adroitly climbing the trees, it lays in wait. King Cobras will gladly devour another venomous snake such as the Mangrove. The Mangrove is hunting a colorful bird in the tree-tops, oblivious to the danger below. When the bird escapes, the failed hunt forces the Mangrove to slither back to the jungle floor. Unwittingly, the Mangrove enters itself in a fight it didn't want to get into. The venom of the King Cobra is some of the most potent venom in the world. When the Cobra and Mangrove face off, it takes one swift bite for the fight to be all over. The toxins in the venom parlyze the Mangrove, and the Cobra swallows his foe alive. There is a reason this cobra is called the king.Indiana Jones might hate snakes, but here at MaxAnimal, we love them! Recently, we've featured quite a few fascinating and shocking snake clips, such as a cottonmouth snake eating a rattlesnake, these black mambas duking it out, and this giant anaconda killing and eating a crocodile. Yet, as impressive as those snake clips are, we're always able to come up with footage that's equally impressive.Growing to lengths of 18.5 to 18.8 ft (5.6 to 5.7 m), the king cobra earned its name for a reason. In fact, its genus Ophiophagus literally means "snake eater" in Greek because its diet primarily consists of other snakes, including other cobras!
