In the animal kingdom, few rivalries are as intense as that between the mongoose and the cobra.
Recently there have been reports of a dodgy mongoose once again wreaking havoc on cobra populations.
While some may find the mongoose’s tactics impressive, others worry about the impact they could have on the fragile ecosystem.
It is unclear what is driving the resurgence of the dubious mongoose and its attacks on cobras.
Whatever the cause, it’s clear that the mongoose-cobra rivalry shows no signs of slowing down.
For now, the best thing to do is observe and respect these amazing creatures from a safe distance.
