00:00 Egyptian Cobra have very few enemies in the wild, but she's about to meet her nemesis.

00:16 The slender mongoose, a notorious snake killer.

00:22 They may look like featherweights in the rain, but these are two of the most lethal predators

00:28 on the planet.

00:32 The mongoose has razor sharp teeth and lightning speed, and the cobra is not an enemy to be

00:40 underestimated either.

00:43 The times that the snake wins is generally when the mongoose is young or makes a mistake.

00:50 If the snake can get enough bites in, then it can kill the mongoose from an overload of

00:57 venom.

01:00 This little carnivore is almost immune to the venom.

01:07 The mongoose here is trying various attack tactics to test the snake's patience.

01:22 One swift snap to the back of the head and the spine is severed.

01:27 It was a deserved victory for this mongoose.

01:32 But what about the black mamba?

01:35 Don't underestimate her thin body.

01:38 The black mamba is a deadly snake and the most poisonous of all.

01:45 With a single bite, it can kill 15 adult males.

01:53 She relies on her venom to sedate her victims and immobilize their weapons.

02:01 So imagine what it can do to a 5 pound mongoose.

02:06 The mongoose's agility plays its part in making it take control of this battle.

02:12 He miraculously escaped the attacks of the black mamba.

02:18 And then the kill shot.

02:22 The snake is still alive but paralyzed.

02:26 For the mongoose, the reward outweighs the risk.

02:30 A 7 foot snake is a hearty meal for a pint-sized predator.
