According to Daily Mail of September 3, a set of unbelievable pictures were taken in southern India: a King cobra and a grey mongoose clashed in classic battle in the wild. At first, the pair circle each other looking for a weak spot, before the snake strikes in rapid succession at its enemy's face. But the mongoose is just too quick as it leaps and dances out of the way before closing in to try and bite the cobra's head. At last the mongoose took on one of the world's most poisonous snakes. Indian mongoose is popularly used to fight and kill venomous snakes, because of their rapid reactions and thick coat.

据英国《每日邮报》9月2日报道，近日摄影师在印度南部拍摄到了一组不可思议的照片：一只眼镜蛇与一只印度灰猫鼬在野外激烈厮杀。一开始，双方兜着圈子寻找对方的弱点，然后眼镜蛇突然对猫鼬脸部发起急速的连续攻击。然而猫鼬迅速跳出了眼镜蛇的攻击范围，并急速靠近试图咬住眼镜蛇的头部。最终，猫鼬制服了世界上这只最毒毒蛇之一的眼镜蛇。据了解，印度猫鼬普遍擅于捕杀眼镜蛇，因为它们拥有快速的反应能力和厚厚的皮毛。
