As a mammal, I congratulate this mammal for this amazing victory against a reptile
Yes! 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
We're all still a bit salty for that T-Rex stepping on our mousy tails some 50.000.000 years back.
acording to animal right its Racis xD
HAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Spoilers
Cobra: Miss, miss, miss, miss Mongoose: Critical hit!!!
+Emad Ahmed LOL 😂😂😂
Basicly a full ad teemo xD.
Phantom assassin be like
Cobra was not missing, it was mangoose escaping. So its not phantom assasin, its more like faceless void
It’s SUPER EFFECTIVE!!!
One gets the impression that the typical mongoose encounters many cobras during its lifetime. The typical cobra, however, encounters only one mongoose during its lifetime
This is a very smart observation mate, well said
Just like how many chicken there are compared to humans
'A mongoose'
rikki tikki tavi (rudyard kipling) - it's lovely to see the blessed mongoose in action!!! More fun to watch than martial arts!
That's one mongoose too many
*Snake approaching Everyone:OH My God it's a snake Mangoes: Oh My God It's a Snack.

Underrated comment lol
Underrated
Yes, mangoes are delicious.
Lol
Mongoose: "50,000 cobras used to live here; now it's a ghost town."
🤣🤣🤣. U cracked me up🤣🤣
😂😂

unsurpassed and sophisticated comment. Well done.
Call of Duty - Mongoose Warfare.
Cobra: I'm the deadliest predator of the desert. Mongoose: *I'm about to end this mans whole career*
Mongoose- *Hold my beer.*

Lmao😂😂😂😂😂
@@barrycohen311 u mean hold my snake ?
Mongoose: I'm about to end this snake's whole life
As an indian child i had a mongoose too ! his name was Gopal. we found him when he was like smaller than a human palm , soo small. and he lived with us for about 5-6 years before disappearing suddenly . i still remember he killed two snakes that were trying to enter the house. i don't think Gopal is alive today, but i really miss you cutie ! RIP my little friend .
Isn’t they dangerous for humans? I mean they don’t attack ppl? Bc at the end they are not domesticated
@@DanDan-ur7sy nope bro, if you treat them well, provide them food and shelter
I agree with you totally. And sorry you lost your best friend, Gopal. Just hang in there. I’ll be ok. Just stay strong and the faith.
@@jasmineowens4741 thanks friend, i also hope the best for you too 🙏
“Rikki was afraid for a minute, but then he remembered that all a mongoose’s business in life is to fight and kill snakes.” -Rudyard Kipling
Cobra (sees mongoose): "Lunch Time!" Mongoose (looking at the cobra): "INDEED"
ahaa
😂
Hahaha
*pasta noises*
😂🤣
Cobra;- I can kill a human within 30 minutes😎 Mongoose:- I can chew your head within 3 seconds😂
Lol
👌👌
And crush it's skull like popcorn
It’s not that simple, a mongoose can still be defeated by a Cobra.
@@yarha599 99% of the time Mongoose wins buddy
Mongooses are amazing animals. So fearless, so quick, and so efficient as hunters! To beat a cobra in the fight for survival, this is amazing.
All without using paws/hands no human can boast that feat
@@julianrde1544 or venom.
I love how the snake is always the villain and almost everyone watching this video wanted the mongoose to win including me.
Fr 😂
Mongoose: "I can do this all day"
Ahahahaha
😂😂
Cobra:yeah iknow iknow cobra throws a venom moongoose thro a immunity
Captain mangoose...
bucky is life
As a child growing up in India. I owned a pet Mongoose called Dusty. One evening we heard a loud commotion in our back yard. Our attendants were shouting loudly. My faithful pet was fighting with a cobra which it killed. Good childhood memories.
What happened to mongoose??
You had attendants?
You had a good childhood dude
How old are you ? 60-70
That’s epic dude!
That mongoose is hawkeye with the precision. That first bite literally paralyzed the snake. The second was just for giggles.
Thats what i thought. It looks like that first bite broke something inside and the snake couldnt move anymore
1:50 Rudyard Kipling would be proud 😂
😂
Cobra: I'm a creepy snake with fangs full of venom. Mongoose: Your head is both chewy and delicious.
😂🤣😂
And crispy
@@teotoy9369 no
Lolll
Another dumbell, indeed!
The fact that the Mongoose knew exactly where to attack the snake is incredible. Right at the head. Unbelievable
this is definitely an older mongoose and has already killed lots of snakes
Headshot 👍
Mongoose after dodging every atack: You should have aimed for the head... *bites*
@Diz Zkl they have levels of resistance, not immunity from the venom.
Mangoose watched Avengers Infinity war 7 years earlier lmao
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi a childhood cartoon about a mongoose protecting a family from two cobra's....classic
It’s honestly pretty insane that the mongoose is skilled enough to take this fight every time. Like you have to risk your life just to go out and eat every time you hunt a cobra
They don't have to. They are immune to Cobra's venom.
@@Inside.Frame1 just saw a video where the cobra won.
@@Inside.Frame1 Maybe you are referring to the other badass, the Honey badger.
@@Inside.Frame1 they are not immune to venom...their skin is pretty thick but somehow if cobra bites it will die
Nah, just another day at the office for the Mongoose
Drug test that Mongoose. I don't believe that was an even playing field.
+nelson eyenike tounge in cheek mate. mongoose was awesome
Ain't a drug out there that can give you reflexes like that.
Wait Tho Try Telling The Crackheads In My Apt. Unit That

Would love to watch this encounter in slo mo!!

Mongoose: a very skilled predator in the wild The internet: amogus

I love that at 1:27 when the mongoose just looks it in the face to say: “That’s all you got friend?” After the snakes futile attempts failed. Lol 😂
Mongoose like "All day baby, Come at me!"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

He became a Legendary and Iconic figure after this in Upper Asia
@@JamesLawner yes they do
This is the conqueror... the cobra's most feared enemy
at 1:31 , mongoose's facial expression was epic ..
true
You can notice that he's serious
+Ather Khan egg
Ric Daniel he got serious!
Its face says: come on show me wat u got.
Cobra: *thinks about every strategic way to attack* Mongoose: * does the Macarena*
Snake has speed and venom, the mongoose has speed and brains. You do the math
absolutely impressive! And I bet the mongoose doesn't even boast about how tough and cool he is - like ego filled humans do.
Cobra: "Time to Die!" Mongoose: "Not on my Watch" 😉
Snake? What happened? Snake?! SNAAAAAAKKE!!!!!
Exciting to see so many gamers get the reference. I am proud of you all! =P
I hate I didn't do this first! Nice one XD

0:48 lol I love how that Cobra has had a tattoo of a mongoose's face on the back of his neck!
omg ur a genius 😂
omg yes
That's a penis
hahahahaaha true
Because the mongoose made cobras entire species their b***
better than ufc

😂😂😂
It lasted longer too

Cobra: 911...I have an emergency Mongoose: I am 911....
The fierce face of mongoose as the snake hisses at it .. 🔥🔥like straight into the eyes of 🐍, 'you r dead' look 😂

arent all vegans snakes?
+V PK gdsh
Leafy fans
Ya snakes in the grass, backbiting evil bitchy snakes.
Just a one Mongoose is start living in my backyard. I finally got rid of rats. I have also start feeding him some meat. But he’s really shy.
For real? So lucky!
MALZZZZification yes.
Careful they carry diseases too like rabbies
@@harrybarry4158 only if u eat a mongoose
@@harrybarry4158 as long as he doesn't go near the mongoose and leave him alone he should be ok also animals with rabies usually have certain symptoms i'm pretty sure?
Unbelievable, what a fantastic wildlife scene!
Snake : I am the deadliest. Mongoose : ok
1:31 Pure confidence. Any mammal knows that look. The mongoose knows it's going to win and is enjoying itself.
Easy to be confident when you're immune to its venom.
1:31 The look that says, "Bring it on!"
Cobra - "doesn't anyone have the guts to fight for blood??" Mongoose - "I'm your huckleberry"
Later: Cobra: "Well.... I didn't think you had it in you." Mongoose: "I'm your huckleberry. Why, Cobra, you look like somebody just... walked over your grave." Cobra: "Fight's not with you, Mongoose." Mongoose: "I beg to differ, sir. We started a game we never got to finish. Play for blood, remember?' Cobra: "I was only funnin'" Mongoose: "I wasn't. And this time, it's legal." Cobra: "Alright, lunger, let's do it.: Mongoose: "Say when."
*And i thought a Snake was dangerous.. now a giant hamster is even scarier..* ✅😨
AcidGlow in India it doesn’t do anything it I really friendly but be aware it could have some kind of virus so don’t touch it
Mongoose have anti venom so they can easily kill a snake.
And I thought acidglow only watched MMA
It’s not a giant hamster it’s a mongoose!!
They were evolved to combat snakes
give that thing a medal. i don't like snakes
Adellina Hylton snakes don't like you to
grow a set of balls
Adellina Hylton well I love snakes and this is the mongoose's nature ALMOST every mongoose could do that. Give it a metal if it can kill an spitting cobra
Adellina Hylton it's a mongoose. It's not a thing
That's not very nice, you see every animal has a purpose in life
1:50 epic line “ Rudyard Kipling would be proud" 😂
Mongoose: lol try to attack me now
Cobra:I'm the most badass reptile in the universe. Mongoose:Excuse me say that again?
A mongoose not a reptile
It's a mammal as said in the video
i'm now more scared in Mongoose than in Cobra. lol.
😂😂😂😂
+rufi rufi rofl u made my day
I'll rather fight a mongoose rather than a cobra any day lol
cobra are scary as hell no thanks.
Mongooses are actually quite docile in the company of humans. Some people even have them as pets.
As a child growing up in village side of Uttar Pradesh. When children see any mongoose they shouted " ए नेउरा तोरे बिलिया में साप "😂
Cobra: That's it, I'm moving to Antartica!
Thats it, im hiring a mongoose as my body guard.
team cobra
mongoose is quicker than Usian bolt!
+US11xboy Golden Much quicker...:) Bolt is just a human ....
+Anirvan Ray Bolt is fast running in a straight direction, That doesn't mean his reflexes are beyond this world...........
+zeoz911 Didn't get you.
Chuck Norris : They're almost as fast as me.
Mangoose: who the hell is bolt...
When mongoose attack he doesn't miss 🔥🔥🔥What a line
1:31 king corbra : prepare Mongoose: you sure *laughs*
The way animals vigorously shake their bodies and heads once they have their mouth on something is terrifying. Like death must be quick, vicious, and brutal so there's NO chance for a comeback D:
That’s because they have no thumbs
Easiest way to snap it's neck is to whip it around by holding the neck or head
They need to maintain the undefeated kill streak to survive
yup, in dogs this is called worrying and is bred for quick kill hunting dogs e.g. terriers for rat hunting etc.
Why would you want a comeback? I would not ask for a comeback when my bones are broken, skin and flesh are teared off, my pain receptors are screaming. I would ask to be finished off if that is the case. If I were to even survive that, I would be physically and mentally scarred for life.
Anybody else got the Riki Tiki Tavi reference at the end lol
.: MC Monstar :. found that video on VHS when my son was a little kid!
.: MC Monstar :. Bully for Mongoose
.: MC Monstar :. Lol yess
Farmers used to teach their childre never to chase and corner a mongoose or weasel in the barn. If cornered they are madmen.
Omg I read that at school!:)
Snake sees mongoose "my time has come'
No one: Mongoose : Call and ambulance but not for me 🚑
Rikk Tikk Tikki Rikk Chuk!!!!!!! War cry of Rikki Tikki Taavi 😂
And the winner is ... "King Mongoose." I love the mongoose.
cobra accuracy : 99 mongoose evasion : 999
The battle of speed🔥
That mongoose is a badass
Bruh I remember our science teacher put this video on then when the mongoose killed the snake we started cheering and jumping.
there's something about the whole thing that screams: nerd mongoose destroys bully cobra
No you didn’t
U enjoyed because u are powerless for a Cobra. Would u enjoy the same way if a Lion killed a Deer. U see......
@@220-tejasagi6 cobras is deadly and can killed humans,,thats why people cheering mongoose to win as a hero
@@franklinsahagun6584 They kill only if u threaten it bro. Why would it was it's precious Venom on human whose dead body is useless to it. Anyway u take it Light Thu nahi Samjegha..... Bacha hai re thu...
Cobra : I am a deadliest snakes in the world Mongoose : Ok
Mongoose: whatever
That cobra made the fight quite beautiful, it’s fierce thrusts forward, very admirable
Yes, the mongoose and honey badgers are the true gangsters in nature…
The speed of both these animals is astounding and to think that the mongoose is still faster than the snake. Nature is remarkable.
RIKKI TIKKI TAVI! Childhood memories 😁
Yes!!
Omg
Miella's Life Is it against the Law about Illegal animal fight gambling like betting money on Mongoose vs. Snake brawling, compared like "Rush Hour 3" chicken fight tournament gambling addiction like James Carter's little brother Perry does?
I remember this from.. what was it? a book? im not sure
Same, I have vague memories Rikki Tikki Tavi from my childhood.. and I'm 42
Teacher: If you were an animal… what would it be? Me: Cobr- Classmate: Mongoose *run*
theres an a imposter amongoose lol
"The distance management and footwork of this Mongoose is astonishing!" - Joe Rogan -
Rarely do you see a cobra win this match-up. Unless the mongoose was out partying the night before..
LoL
its like you can picture it in your head of the mongoose partying the night before LoL
I took acid some years ago and watched this video over and over again. I couldn’t stop laughing. The music and the commentating. Spot on!
1:29 Mongoose: "Watcha say about my momma????"
"Rudyard Kipling would be proud* You Sir, Just made my day.
Because of India reference he said that
He was referring to the book he wrote, Rikki- Tikki- Tavi its about a mongoose saving a baby from being bit by a snake.
Rudyard Kipling sounds like a knock off version of J.K Rowling 😂
Rhyno 216 Only except Rudyard Kipling was around way before JK Rowling was even thought of.
Rikki- Tikki- Tavi one of my favorite characters from my childhood books. Everytime I see a mongoose I think of him.
Neurotoxic venom. That’s what the Indian gray mongoose is immune to. In order to kill a rattlesnake, you’d need a different sort of mongoose, as that’s a hemotoxic venom. Egyptian mongooses can safely handle both types of venom.
+Playa Slaya That's different. Honey Badger don't give a shit.
lol
Honey badger isn't immune, he just doesn't give a shit
Not all neurotoxic venom, king cobra can kill a mongoose.
The king snake
It's over... Cobra... RIP... Mongoose... lunch time...!!! LOL
Thanks for the recommendation. Just what I needed at 11 am on a Tuesday.
1:36 mongoose: WHOSE THE KING NOW BITCH!
Mongoose: "Gotta go fast" :v
Rgf
(I DO COCAINE)
Snake lunges and misses. Mongoose: "That's no good!"
This made me laugh way more than it should have.
@@Eliotthib :v
He dragged the cobra 🐍 😂 😂 😂
Cobra: You’ve been warned! Mongoose: I’ve been hungry...
That poor snake! We at PETA think it's DISGUSTING that mongooses are killing and eating other animals. They should try living off fruit and other healthy vegetables that are good for them. I myself am on the Gluten-free diet, and I feel amazing. Mongooses should try it and not harm these poor snakes.
This is sarcasm right,? Because snakes kill animals all the time.
Shut the FUCK up u idiot.
Ha! Nice one. Just watch out for Poe's Law there.
Here we see a troll in it's natural habitat...
Hope Moore I've seen these arseholes comment on other wildlife video's maybe its just one no use bastard or it could be a clan of them .
I too am a mongoose to the snakes. Except im armed. 🤣🤣🤣
