Mongoose

The snake predators that eat snakes that we would like to introduce to you first are the mongoose. Although the mongoose small animal but an excellent hunter, with a keen sense of smell, sight and hearing, and remarkable reflexes. They hunt insects and small animals such as mice, rats, rabbits, lizards, and snakes, including one of the most dangerous creatures on Earth - the king cobra.


The Mongoose is a frequent and active forager, eating a wide variety of small predators, and is particularly fond of snakes. All species of mongoose regularly eat snakes, but the slender mongoose and gray mongoose are the two most likely to confront and eat king cobras.


The mongoose is exceptionally agile and can dodge the attacks of the cobra very quickly. Most of them are immune to scorpion and snake venom. Still, mongooses also possess something called an acetylcholine receptor that makes them not completely immune, and repeated snake bites or attacks can cause them to get sick and even kill them. When the snake moves, the mongoose jumps up, baring its teeth, aiming directly at the snake's head. If the mongoose catches the snake correctly, it will kill it by biting right into its skull.
