(birds chirping)
00:01
The three-month-long mating season is almost over.
00:04
As she approaches the village,
00:11
the male flicks his tongue,
00:13
searching for small scent particles in the air.
00:16
He may be able to smell her presence,
00:21
but her heady cocktail of pheromones
00:28
has attracted another admirer.
00:30
A second male has picked up her trail in the forest
00:36
and followed her into the village.
00:38
And he's been spotted.
00:46
King cobras can see prey up to 300 feet away.
00:56
The village male sees the intruder approaching,
00:59
and he is fiercely territorial,
01:05
especially in mating season.
01:07
He moves to intercept the trespasser.
01:14
The two males size each other up,
01:25
rearing a third of their bodies off the ground.
01:28
They flare their trademark hoods in a display of aggression.
01:32
Biting would be futile and a waste of the precious toxin,
01:46
as their own powerful venom has little effect
01:51
on other king cobras.
01:52
(dramatic music)
01:55
Instead, their bodies entwine in a wrestling match.
02:06
The aim is to force their opponent's head to the ground.
02:17
(dramatic music)
02:20
Oblivious to everything around them,
02:27
they vie for dominance.
02:29
Their brawl carries them out of the village
02:42
and into the forest.
02:43
(dramatic music)
02:46
They will fight as long as they have the strength.
02:51
Winning and earning the right to breed is all that matters.
02:57
After five hours of combat,
03:06
the intruding challenger accepts defeat
03:09
and slinks off into the forest.
03:12
(birds chirping)
03:15
His dominance established,
03:19
the village male now has his chance with Nagaina.
03:22
(upbeat music)
