King cobra vs. Black mamba - Battle of the deadly snakes

The King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the longest venomous snake in the world and the Black mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) is the second longest venomous snake in the world. The King cobra has huge venom yields and the Black mamba is one of the fastest and most venomous snakes on our planet. The King cobra lives in Asia and it is famous for eating other snakes and the Black mamba is the most feared snake of Africa, maybe the whole world. Which one of these two snakes is deadlier? In this video we use 5 categories to find out who would win a hypothetical battle between these deadly snakes! We compare the behavior, size, speed, venom and also how difficult it is to handle these snakes.

Remember that snakes are never aggressive, only defensive if they feel threatened! Calm handler = calm snake.

I believe a King Cobra would take a Mamba as breakfast .

My dad has stories of the king cobra .. we grew up in Thailand and he would tell me that sometime he come across some that are 4 foot tall .. and he said they are fast . I’m glad I’m not in Thailand anymore .

Your video format is very complete. I really like it. Thank you.

The Mamba is certainly deadlier, simply through it's disposition, which is nervous. The King seems to have the intelligence to avoid humans to a much greater extent.

A King cobra In general loves other snakes.. however i think a mongoose, secretarybird or honeybadger know both of thems snakes is a feast.
