The
cobra's main enemy is the zebra mongoose. The mongoose is
built for snake-fighting. They are 98% effective in killing
their cobra pray because they are fast, agile and have a
thich coat that protects them from the snake venom. Cobra
skins are highly valuable as an exotic leather and there
is no protective legislation for the king cobra. A cobra's
meal may last a very long time.
This snake can survive on little food just like other snakes
because it doesn't need much food to maintain a steady body
temperature and can remain in active for long periods of
time. The Cobra can also store tons of body body to live
off of. Cobras often feeds on eggs and chicks raided from
poultry houses, in addition to small mammals, toads, lizards,
birds and other snakes.
