No. A king cobra has venom that it sprays into it's opponent's eyes at quite a distance, and can do so without the gorilla even being able to touch it. This venom will permanently blind a gorilla, and a single bite will kill it. A gorilla does not have such a weapon, only speed and strength. A blind gorilla is a gorilla that won't have a chance in a battle between it and a king cobra!

Although not the most toxic of poisonous snakes a king cobra can kill an elephant with one bite, the king cobra tracks by site and smell then kills it's prey by striking and injecting it with venom and swallowing it whole, it's preferred diet is mainly other venomous and non-venomous snakes but includes small reptiles, birds and amphibians as well. King Cobras are aggressive and will rear up to confront the intruder where most other cobras will slither away and hide. The only predators are the mongoose and man.

They could never meet in the wild but if an adult snake of each species were locked in a room together the mamba wouldn't stand a chance.
