Although not fond of snakes as food, the mongoose attacks even poisonous snakes without fear. usually the mongoose will win because it is very agile. The skill with which a mongoose can evade a cobra's strike and then attack the snake's head is spectacular. The fact that the snAke strikes in a set pattern plays an important part in the survival of the mongoose. when the snake raises its head to strike, the mongoose darts into striking range. If the mongoose is unwary enough to get bitten the snake's venom will kill it.
