possessing terrible venom
the cobra finds itself in an embarrassing situation
when a trying time
can this strange thing really happen
the wild world is amazing
cobra trying to hunt a monitor lizard
king cobras can hunt throughout the day the main prey of the king cobra
is other snakes including many other non-venomous and venomous snakes
when food is scarce they may also eat other small vertebrates such as lizards birds and rodents
the king cobra is capable of delivering a fatal bite the venom attacks the victim's central
nervous system leading to pain blurred vision dizziness drowsiness and eventually paralysis
if the condition is severe the poison enters the circulatory system
and the victim falls into a coma with a rapid death from respiratory failure
the bite of a king cobra can lead to a rapid death in just 30 minutes
lizards inherently have thick skin that is immune to poison however in front of the king cobra that
shield seems to be useless the monitor lizard is a large creature the maximum length of his body
can reach one and a half meters and the maximum weight can be 3.5 kilograms the monitor lizard
has a very interesting color pattern in fact the body of these creatures appears more sandy
or light brown than grey with many dark and light spots the neck is characterized by two to three
vertical black stripes which join backwards and former horseshoe pattern
deserts and semi-deserts are where monitor lizards are common
this footage was recorded in kruger national park south africa passes by were surprised
to see a giant cobra trying to take down a large screen lizard the lizard had shown
great strength as it pulled the snake up the road the lizard had been attacked by a cobra
before and it had obvious bites on its neck and was covered with venom incredibly though the
lizard was able to break free from the snakes jaws a few times and get out quickly unfortunately for
the lizard the snake caught it this went on for a while and eventually the lizards stopped moving
finally a car sped past scaring the snake the lizard was motionless on the road except for a few
flicks of its tongue we like to see liz's resist when bitten by a cobra but the truth is that the
lizards are thought to be incapable of resisting snake venom when bitten by a snake even if they
escape the snake they would not escape death the next footage was shot at savvy sand animal
sanctuary south africa a king cobra was crawling on the road and next to it was elizabeth the
veterans fight of the king cobra pierce the body of the prey making all resistance gradually fail
the snake is not in a hurry to attack but takes time to observe the behavior of its prey
whether this was due to the pressure from the hunter or it was bitten in poison the lizard
showed little signs of running away or fighting back he just stood still and endured the battle
after feeling reassured the king cobra decided it was time to take action it lunges forward coiling
its whole body around the lizard and then using all its strength to bite into its prey
in the end the snake just needs to complete a simple but equally terrifying job
devouring the prey right in front of the viewer's eyes
the venom of the king cobra mainly belongs to the group of neurotoxins the venom of the king cobra
will cause the prey to lose vision rapidly causing paralysis followed by respiratory failure and
cardiac arrest and death unlike carnivores snakes do not have jaws but only have two temporary fangs
snakes eat meat by devouring prey because the snake's jaw can be extended 180 degrees
