Why do snakes and mongoose fights

Yes it is a truth that snake and mongoose fight , and they are enemies of each other mongoose are found in Africa , southern Europe Mongooses bear a striking resemblance to mustelids, having long faces and bodies, small, rounded ears, short legs, and long, tapering tails , Mongooses mostly feed on insects, crabs,earthworms, lizards, birds, and rodents. However, they also eat eggs . they are in wild animal category The Indian gray mongoose and others are well known for their ability to fight and kill venomous snakes, particularly cobras. They are adept at such tasks due to their agility, thick coats, and specialized acetylcholine receptors that render them resistant or immune to snake . In any fight between a mongoose and a snake . a Mongoose is bound to be victorious owing to its agility and fearlessness .But what , most people don't know is that most mongoose themselves die after a snake fight . because during the fight if the snake manages  to bite a mongoose But the venom takes effect later . mostly it is seen that mongoose gets wild when it sees a snake , Eventually it's a no-win situation but a mongoose will always attack a snake . Notably , in such scenarios the mongoose is invariably the aggressor. Sometimes if a snake is not venomous or agile enough the mongoose survives . Probably the mongoose. It is because the mongoose has certain proteins in its blood that can actually fight against snake venom.Also mongooses have very strong reflexses thus they cant be easily bitten by snake.So snakes fell as prey to mongooses .

It is not necessary that snakes get scared of snakes , but they smell each other and for defence they start gnawing at each other and gets more wild  It’s not necessarily that snakes become frightened when they smell a mongoose as much as they become wary. The mongoose is a fantastic little animal, resembling a stocky weasel and acting with prairie dog-like communication skills. It is naturally immune to snake venom and hunts serpents as a main food source. Mongoose urine has been used to repel snakes with moderate results, though the product is not available to the American public. Many countries in Europe and Asia keep mongoose as pets for the purpose of warding against snakes. Due to the little animal’s tendency to eat other creatures, its importation into other countries has been regulated. Some areas have experienced significant ecosystem damage from non-native mongoose population. Even a mongoose will not keep all snakes away all the time. Just like with an predator, the snake will acknowledge the mongoose scent, but unless it sees on, it may just proceed forward with caution.


Some snakes like cobra are very powerful and they are more dangerous than mongoose . they fight and kills mongoose but some venoms While mongooses do have a natural resistance to neurotoxins, the jury is still out on their resistance to hemotoxins—the stakes are lowered, but they certainly don't enjoy getting bitten. The hunting habits that they have developed are fascinating because their attacks on snakes almost always devolve into duels. There isn't a hunt and a chase, as when a lion takes down a zebra, just a fight. If you taped bowie knives to each of the zebra's limbs, the lion might have to wise up a bit.
Venomous snakes aren't built for prolonged battles and soon enough the snake slows down, or becomes more cautious at any rate. Becoming obviously less keen to strike at the mongoose each time he baits, the mamba eventually lashes out and Archie manages to pivot around to catch his opponent behind the head.Both fights till the end of path . they never end up they fight till one gets killed . The animal kingdom is full of creatures with fascinating equipment and methods, but to me it seems that the mongoose, courageous and sly in equal parts, is the one which a professional fighter should most hope to emulate….
