If I was a mamba, I would flee from the king Cobra and hope to survive. I am amazed at how calmly you both handle these dangerous snakes; I am scared to approach the 1 meter black racer I see in my back yard.

The Black mamba would probably have a good chance of escaping the King cobra. We are calm so snakes we handle are calm too 🙂 Thanks for watching!

[@josephenough]

Did I watch a different video here? Or was I the only one that watched it to the end when the narrator drew a conclusion comparing both snakes? Good work. Good video. It would have been great to see if there's slight differences in how the poisons attack the body and nervous system. Black Mamba is slithering toxic mayhem. Only 10mg kills adults. I imagine as little as 5mg if it doesnt kill the adult will still likely cause very serious damage to the organs and nerves it targets for attack. Again very well done. I've always heard this snake was highly, highly lethal.

[@chuemoua6834]

[@LivingZoology]

Thank you! It is the best to start to observe snakes from distance and slowly coming closer 🙂

[@mariosergio7537]

Here in Brazil we'd say: "A King Cobra comeria a Mamba como macarrão". "The King Cobra would eat a Mamba as a pasta ". There's no way guys, no serpent is equivalent to King Cobra

[@LivingZoology]

The King cobra is probably not inmune to Black mamba’s venom (as they live on other continents) and it is also slower. Yes, the King is larger and stronger than the Black mamba and if it catches the mamba, it would probably win.

[@Michaelkaydee]

But in terms of deadly to humans, the mamba wins ... super fast and very aggressive... striking multiple times and even multiple targets...

[@mariosergio7537]

The King Cobra is the most powerful snake in terms of head to head against any cobra. Even Phyton a lot of times gets eaten by King Cobra. Regarding deadly against humans Mamba makes more damage

[@hatge1803]

[@tadcastertory1087]

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.

[@LivingZoology]

Both these snakes are secretive and shy. The Black mamba is more defensive when cornered though.

[@tadcastertory1087]

@@LivingZoology Absolutely. I think people think the Mamba is aggressive because of its speed.

[@rocdaroc]

yeah I think people confuse the word aggressive. Snakes are VERY defensive. Aggressive would imply that it will go out of its way to aggress upon you for no reason. They just want to be left alone. It is aggressive towards its prey and we aren't it.

@@kscreations5937 😊

[@tukaidas1272]

No mongoose go near adult king cobra

[@doge3601]

adult kind cobras inject so much venom thats why mongooses even avoid them

[@verbone]

If an adult king cobra injects at least 300mg of venom, and 20mg is a potentially lethal dose, then the king cobra typically injects at least 15x a lethal dose of venom. If a black mamba injects 120mg and a lethal dose on the low end is 10mg, then a black mamba injects 12x the lethal dose of venom. And this is using your low estimates of the king cobra and upper estimates of black mamba venom. So even though mamba venom is clearly more toxic, wouldn't a king cobra bite, then, be more lethal due to sheer venom amount? Someone let me know what I'm missing.

[@Michal.B007]

Black Mamba has 6times larger LD 50 value. Its poison is much more aggressive.

[@Michal.B007]

Taipan has a 70times larger value than the King Cobra.

[@LivingZoology]

The King has huge volume, the mamba has very high toxicity. In the end, both will kill you without antivenom.

[@lesprentice4816]

Anything after 1 times the lethal dose is a bad time. When you start to get into the 10x or 15x i dont think it matters to much because you will be dead if you dont have the anti venom handy. In a fight i think whoever gets a good bite off first will win. Most likely they would kill each other in a fight.

[@davidbarnard1409]

The difference between a Mamba and a King Cobra is the when a Mamba bites you you phone your wife and kids and tell them good bye --- you've got 45min , so hopefully you have reception. The KC is deadly - no arguments but with the right anti venom your chances are almost 100% of surviving. With the mamba your chances are about 50/50 with anti venom

[@LivingZoology]

You can survive longer than that with the Black mamba bite, several hours. It is important to get breathing support. You have a good chance of surviving with antivenom. Some places with many Black mambas have antivenom available (Durban, coast of Kenya). With the King cobra bite you will most likely die because the amount of venom is huge so you can die quickly from the overdose. Also, in most Asian countries there is no antivenom so you can call your family in this case.

I wonder if it's more dangerous to be stung by two snakes or one coastal taipan. Is the venom of these two snakes combined equal to the venom of the taipan? By the way, I'm a taipan fan.

[@FischerFan]

I believe it's a foregone conclusion that the venom of any species of taipan is, drop for drop, more potent than that of the black mamba. On Wiki's list of dangerous snakes, the only two that make its 'extremely dangerous' short list are the black mamba and the coastal taipan. I know that when it comes to dry bites, they are all but unheard of where these two species are concerned. Both are known to deliver multiple strikes in a single attack. Obviously, neither one is a snake to fool around with. If I had to have an encounter with one of them, I'd probably take my chances with the taipan because the speed and agility of the black mamba is simply unmatched.

[@LivingZoology]

You should watch our comparisons with taipans! 🙂m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/a5_Wl6Sooddmps0&pp=ygUPTWFtYmEgdnMgdGFpcGFu

Uhm... I can understand black mamba has deadlier venom and faster movement... But theoretically, if their habitat overlapped, would black mamba ended up as king cobra's meal?

Yes. King Cobra will eat it as regular prey.

[@LivingZoology]

Maybe yes, but the Black mamba is faster and has a very potent venom, to which the King cobra might not be resistant.

The mamba is definitely meaner, but the king would definitely eat the mamba. The only question is, would the king survive the counter strike, or has he not evolved enough resistance?

[@LivingZoology]

Yes, the questionable thing is the venom resistance and the ability to chase the mamba (which is faster).

[@kevinchandler179]

If the king doesn't have enough venom resistance then he would be in serious trouble!!! The Mamba is much faster and aggressive and would bite the king a few times before he even knew what hit him, and slowly but surely it's game over!!!!!
