A video of a king cobra, or king cobra, devouring a headless python snake is garnering attention online. This is because the king cobra seems to disdain its prey and drops it to the ground when it receives it. Snake biologist Enrique made a video on his channel explaining this relationship.
“The mighty king cobra has had a snack and seems to be very used to snacking from time to time. But doesn’t it look like you’re already used to snacking? Oops, quit. The python is really a heavy, headless python. But now she’s refusing a snack and the ‘guy’ has swung at her for a bite,” he comments.
According to the biologist, the explanation for this is clear. “It’s not that she would be used to getting a snack, but that she needs to be stimulated to predation, since the headless python is dead, and in order for him to eat the food offered to him, he must be stimulated. animal so, then yes, it can prey […] because it only feeds on live snakes,” he clarifies.
