The clip was recorded in Jim Corbett National Park, Uttarakhand state, India. A large king cobra is gripping a python's neck. Although he tried to struggle, opened his mouth wide and tried to escape from the enemy, the python was still unsuccessful. After a few minutes of struggling, the python gradually weakened and lay motionless due to the enemy's venom. The king cobra then slowly swallows the entire body of its prey.
The king cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is distributed mainly in tropical forests from India to Southeast Asia. This is the longest venomous snake in the world with a maximum length of 7 meters. They mainly eat cannibals and other snakes and small vertebrates such as lizards and mice.
The amount of venom released in one bite can kill 20 adults or kill an adult elephant within hours.
