Ferocious Fighters:
Indian Gray Mongoose VS Indian Cobra
Somewhere on the plains of southern India, a mongoose scurries into a cobra's path. Uh- oh! Here comes a battle of two ancient enemies. Careful: the winner might surprise you! The cobra rears up and hisses. He fans out his hood. He strikes..... and hits his target. But the mongoose doesn't care. He has a slight immunity to cobra venom. The cobra is confused. He strikes again and his fangs are deflected by the mongooses thick fur. The mongoose dances out of reach. It pounces on the cobra and crushes the cobra's skull. This feisty mammal has found its next meal.
Good post Lindsay!
