Mongoose Fighting Cobra
The Indian mongoose is well known for its aggressive hunting behavior. It eats rodents and snakes and will even attack highly venomous snakes, such as this cobra. The mongoose has been introduced to other areas to control rodent and snake populations, but its predatory habits often disrupt the ecosystems into which it is introduced.
