A confrontation between a black cobra and a monitor lizard is a rare and intense spectacle in the wild. The black cobra is an agile predator, known for its venomous bite, which delivers neurotoxins capable of paralyzing or killing its prey. In contrast, the monitor lizard relies on its powerful claws, sharp teeth, and muscular build. It is a formidable predator in its own right, feeding on a variety of animals, including snakes.
In such a video, the cobra would typically adopt a defensive posture, raising its hood and hissing to ward off the larger monitor lizard. The cobra’s speed and venom are its greatest assets. If it strikes and successfully injects venom, the monitor lizard could be in serious danger. However, monitor lizards have been observed to have some resistance to venom, making them difficult to kill quickly.

The monitor lizard’s strategy would likely involve using its size, strength, and persistence to overpower the snake. It might bite the cobra or use its sharp claws to deal damage. The outcome of such an encounter depends on which animal can exploit its strengths more effectively: the cobra’s deadly venom or the monitor lizard’s brute force and resilience.
