King Cobra vs. Saltwater Crocodile | National Geographic

beneath the leaf litter in one of
India’s southern forests a nest of royal
predators are working to join the world
they are the longest venomous snakes in
the world king cobras
though they may grow to be 18 feet in
length these babies are a mere 15 inches
long
despite their diminutive size they
already look and act like their parents
equipped with all the skills necessary
to survive in their new environment but
these skills won’t be enough to assure
survival and while the rest of his
brethren head high above for safety one
small snake slithers for the water and a
thirst quenching drink
unfortunately fate is not on his side
another pint-sized predator is on the
lookout for food tube
the saltwater crocodile is a legendary
giant of these forests this species is
the largest living reptile in the world
adults can grow well over 20 feet long
and weigh in at over a ton crocodiles
are opportunistic hunters lying in wait
for an unsuspecting animal to come along
like the baby king cobra the snakes
misguided instinct is a windfall for the
little sulky
who swiftly snaps up the little king
cobra and enjoys an unexpected snack
