Mussurana vs. King Cobra (equal size)

nativedrys Jul 04, 2011 10:06 PM

I know a muss can handle any snake in S.America but could it overcome a King Cobra of equal size, will say for instance if both were about 6 feet long, or would a black mamba be better to deal with a mussy.I myself would not be very comfortable going in with a mussy same size as me dont care what people might think of mussy but they are not fun if your another snake.Was curious if zoos back in the day tried feeding there kings these and were not happy.Never really have heard to much about there snake eating compared to others world wide.Anybody have info on this or hearsay.

I think that since neither are immune to the other's venom and the mussie is a powerful constrictor, the Mussurana would die with a belly full of King Cobra.

And Godzilla would defeat Mothra AND Gamera in a cage match.
