A king cobra defends itself by lifting up 6 feet, more or less, of its body, putting up its hood, and hissing, a rather frightening hiss. This is what king cobras do when they are frightened to scare of the warn the cause of the fright not to come any closer, or they'll attack.

∙ 10y agoIf unable to escape, king cobras will rear up, expose their fangs, and hiss to appear more threatening. Their reach is unexpectedly far for most predators, and they normally deliver 200-500 mg of neurotoxic venom with a single strike.

King cobras defend themselves by rising and raising their hoods. The hoods have the shape of an eye on each one, and make the king cobra seem larger to the predator. Then the king cobra bites, but if the grip on the predator isn't firm, they can't inject the venom.

Can a king cobra eat other snakes?
If given an opportunity yes. Catching a mamba would be difficult for a King Cobra because mambas are extremely quick, but King cobra venom is extremely potent and in most cases, the king can kill and eat a mamba comfortably. They are too big when compared to a Mamba to defend itself. considering they are very similar in length, an adult black mamba and an adult king cobra would not view each other as a potential meal. If it was a baby black mamba then the king cobra could eat it, but only if it could catch it without getting bitten itself. catching it would be nearly impossible because black mambas are the fastest venomous land snake in the world, and cobras are clumsy animals while the black mamba is extremely crafty and intelligent. Would be interesting to watch as I don't like snakes.
