Venomous Snakes Biting Each Other: Do They Die? Unraveling the Mystery!
- •Venomous snakes like King Cobra and Russell's Viper are deadly to humans, but their interaction with other snakes' venom is complex.
- •Scientists state that most venomous snakes possess a natural resistance or tolerance to the venom of their own species, developed through evolution.
- •If a cobra bites another cobra, its body contains proteins that neutralize its own venom, preventing death, though some swelling may occur.
- •When different species of snakes bite each other, the outcome can be dangerous as their bodies may not be prepared for the other's venom.
- •King Snakes are unique; they can eat other venomous snakes due to their enhanced ability to fight various venoms.
Why It Matters: Venomous snakes have natural resistance to their own species' venom, but inter-species bites can be fatal.
