No matter what kind of animal will have the best of the best side, the same is true for the viper, in most people's minds, the king cobra is the boss of the snake, with super toxicity and detoxification capacity to suppress the crowd, so that many snakes see it are avoided, as if born to be the king. However, the toxicity can not judge the status of a snake, just like the most toxic silver ring snake in China, in china, it is often swallowed by snakes with less toxicity than it such as golden ring snakes, cobras, cauliflower snakes, etc., and even people are not afraid of it.
The high status of the king cobra is not all dependent on its toxicity, China's king cobra is the most toxic of all species, the toxicity test is subcutaneous injection ld50 = 0.34-0.60mg / Kg, to know that this result is not prominent in the snake world, in the world's venomous snakes even the top 20 can not squeeze in. Some people say that because of its huge amount of detoxification, up to 1700 mg, this detoxification volume can not be called the first, the current most detoxified individual is the coastal Taipan snake 3400 mg, the second place is the Sizzle Viper genus to win, the highest 2400 mg, the average of about 600 mg, more than the king cobra.
The king cobra is invincible because it combines all its advantages, it has a detoxification volume close to that of the Gabonese viper, and it has a venom comparable to that of the silver ring snake, the most important thing is that it is so large that no snake can swallow it. King cobra is currently known to be the largest venomous snake, the longest can grow to nearly 6 meters, the weight of 15 kg, this body length has been close to the python, in the snake is difficult to meet the opponent, because the huge size of the strength is also relatively strong, it is difficult to be subdued by other snakes, it can be said that the size alone has an absolute advantage in snakes.
Moreover, the king cobra has a very fierce temperament and a strong snake-eating nature, it is not as docile as the silver ring snake, and it is always hiding when facing people, for fear of being caught and stewed. King Cobra because of its natural kingly momentum, in its eyes only afraid of its animals, and it can eat the animals, even if it encounters humans, not only will not take the initiative to give way, but also chase people to run, it is huge, stand up as tall as people, the scene is very terrifying. It can be said that in the momentum does not lose any snakes, many animals will take their lives and flee, even lions and tigers do not dare to easily provoke it, can only leave sadly, not because they can't fight, but don't want to die together.
Although the king cobra is not the most toxic, it is a famous mixed toxin, the detoxification amount reaches 200-400 mg, the nerve toxin is very terrible to animals and human bodies, fast and deadly, it can cut off the transmission of the nervous system, resulting in rapid paralysis of animals, unable to move, and finally breathing weakness, heartbeat stoppage. Although the Gabonese viper has a large amount of detoxification, it is a blood toxin, equivalent to physical damage, and strong animals can be immune to a certain extent, while neurotoxins are more like magic damage, which also allows the king cobra to easily poison any land creature, even the largest elephant, in its mouth can not live for more than 3 hours.
Its snake-eating nature is very strong, other snakes are based on small mammals, and will hunt their own kind when food is scarce, because every time they fight with the same kind, they are very dangerous, and they are likely to be killed. The king cobra is different, it mainly feeds on snakes, has a wealth of hunting experience, IQ is also the ceiling of snakes, it can clearly distinguish non-venomous snakes and venomous snakes, if the other party is a venomous snake will be extra careful, to avoid being hurt by the other party, through constant provocation, seize the gap to bite the other party's head, do not give the opportunity to fight back. If it is a non-venomous snake, it will also control the amount of detoxification, and even disdain the use of poison, relying only on its size to subdue the opponent, and then slowly enjoy.
Some people say that the cauliflower snake can not subdue the king cobra? Cauliflower snake is also known as the "big king snake", can be said to be the boss of non-venomous snakes, its body size can grow up to 3 meters, the weight of up to 20 pounds is relatively stout, the weight and the king cobra is no less than inferior, and the temperament is very fierce and has a strong snake-eating nature, usually feeding on pit vipers, such as five-step snakes, soldering iron heads, short-tailed pit vipers, cauliflower original spearhead pit vipers, etc., occasionally also prey on Zhoushan cobras. Cauliflower snake has the ability to immunize to blood toxins, many pit vipers have no way to take it, encounter hungry cauliflower snake can only admit to planting, but it is not immune to neurotoxins, in the predation of Zhoushan cobra is often killed by the other party.
Non-venomous snake hunting mainly relies on strangulation, this power is faster than the toxic effect, can directly suffocate the other party, if it is a smaller poisonous snake, the cauliflower snake can be easily subdued. It did prey on king cobras, but they were all juvenile king cobras, and they could not swallow themselves in the face of adult king cobras, because it was unlikely that they would be able to suppress each other by strangulation, and if they lost their hands and were bitten, they would become each other's food, and usually would not risk food for food that they could not eat. The king cobra, on the other hand, has a habit of preying on cauliflower snakes, and it can prey on even smaller types, which is even better in terms of momentum.
It is such a poisonous snake that combines wisdom, strength, and venom, and basically no snake can get a advantage on it, unless it is thrown into the sea and competed with the sea snake, in addition to which I can't think of any other snake that can compete with it. Some people say that pythons can, first of all, pythons do not belong to snakes, and then pythons do not have snake-eating properties, will not take the initiative to provoke the king cobra, if it bites more than worth the loss, although you can kill the king cobra, but can not guarantee that you will retreat.
