The King Cobra is the "King of Snakes" because it is the largest venomous snake in existence. It is also one of the venomous snakes that excrete the largest amount of venom in the world, and is also one of the most deadly venomous snakes in the world. An adult king cobra can even kill an adult elephant. This is not alarmist. It is recorded in the book "Biology, Medicine and Surgery of Elephants" An incident in which a king cobra killed an adult elephant.

In this case of bite to death , the size of the King Cobra is unknown, and people did not even see the scene of them fighting. It was only analyzed from the bite wound at the end of the elephant's trunk and the venom in the wound. The weight of the bitten elephant was 5.443 Tons, from the time it was discovered to the time it died, it only took 3 hours for this behemoth. It can be seen that the title of the King Cobra as the most deadly venomous snake is by no means unwarranted.

Since the King Cobra can kill even an elephant, can it also poison a python of the same size? Let’s talk about this interesting issue together.

The reason why the King Cobra is called the "King of Snakes" is that in addition to its strong toxicity and large amount of detoxification, there is another important factor: it likes to eat snakes too much. . The king cobra's diet accounts for the largest proportion of various snakes, from non-venomous rat snakes to highly venomous cobras, bungaras, and even pythons of suitable size. None of them can escape the prey of the king cobra. The appropriate size we are talking about here means that the king cobra is larger than the python.

However, it is worth mentioning that the biggest difference between pythons and other snakes is that even if they are not long, their weight is much larger than other snakes. In this case, why can the king cobra kill the python? Woolen cloth?

This is due to the King Cobra's size. The size of the King Cobra is closest to that of a python. The average length of an adult King Cobra is about 3.5 meters.The average weight is about 6 kilograms. You must know that except for pythons and anacondas, most snakes are 2 meters long and weigh only 1-2 kilograms. Therefore, the king cobra is a stout venomous snake.

Most venomous snakes kill each other with venom. In addition to using venom, the King Cobra can also strangle its prey to death by relying on its own size advantage. Therefore, when hunting, the King Cobra Venom is usually not used when facing non-venomous snakes. Venom is only used when facing venomous snakes. And the most important thing is that the king cobra has a very strong immunity to neurotoxin venom, so even if it is attacked by poisonous snakes such as bungara and cobra, They will not be poisoned even if they are bitten by venomous snakes.

The python only has one means of attack, which is strangulation. When hunting, they will use their mouths full of fangs to bite the prey firmly. These teeth are tilted inward, making it extremely difficult to bite the prey. After breaking free, they will wrap their bodies around the prey, and then tighten their bodies. Relying on this strangulation ability, a python about 4 meters long can strangle a cow alive.

When the body size is not dominant, the winding power of the python is smaller than that of the king cobra. In addition, the king cobra also uses venom. Therefore, in this case, the python usually fights But King Cobra's.
