The King cobra (Ophiophagus hannah) is the longest venomous snake in the world and the Mulga snake (Pseudechis australis) is the largest venomous snake of Australia. Both species have huge venom yields and they prey upon other snakes. Both the King cobra and the Mulga snake /King brown snake are very powerful. But which one is deadlier? In this video we use 5 categories to find out who would win a hypothetical battle between these deadly snakes! We compare the behavior, size, speed, venom and also how difficult it is to handle these snakes.
Remember that snakes are never aggressive, only defensive if they feel threatened! Calm handler = calm snake.
I agree with the verdict, the King wins. But, for me, I think it’s the King’s intelligence that makes the difference.
Yes, the King cobra is definitely very intelligent!
The POISON win.
King Cobra has an amazing venom immunity to Neurotoxins, Cytotoxins and Haemotoxins and considering his large size almost 19-20 feet with the remarkable smartness it possesses...its definitely the winner but we don't know as they never meet and a mulga snake is much more toxic then any snake King Cobra lives with.....
Fabulous video of two most deadliest 🐍 🐍
Thank you very much!
It's just The King Cobra's snack before lunch.😂😂😂
King Brown or the Mulga Snake is King of all Snakes the Mulga can eat any venomous snakes
Watch the video and see the result.
King cobra morning breakfast
It's just the King Cobra's snack 😂😂

Love the vids. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like them! Thank you!
I have seen king cobra in our fields....it never bends its head...no fear of any animal..9-11ft length....its growls...awesome creation of mother Nature ....and yes its a KING ...OM NAMAH SHIVAY...🙏
We agree that the King cobra is the top predator and it is not afraid of any animal.
Large is an understatement for the King Cobra whose scientific name actually means snake eater. King Cobra will devour the mulga in a short time.
It would be interesting to see an encounter of individuals with similar size of these species.
The Mulga Snake or King Brown is a killer of all Snakes it eats venomous snakes like the Inland Taipan and other snakes
@@EdwardPootchemunka-jm6uw does not matter the sheer size and strength of king cobra is enough forget the amount and type of venom it can deliver.
Yes hands down the King Cobra is my main favorite one of all just their present is awesome mainly when they spread thier hood just love it
Thank you very much for watching.
It's a bit sad that people fear the King so much when in reality it has a pretty good temperament coupled with their intelligence. Like with any snake, just leave it be and it will leave you be.
We agree! King cobras are so calm and peaceful!
Can u say this about indian spectcled cobra too😂@@LivingZoology
Big hello from Bali Reptile Reacue again. Another great Vid. Who did you the filming with for the Mulga, was it Rex in Alice Springs?
Hello! Thank you! We met Rex but he did not even allow us to film his rescues due to legislation in Northern Territory. We usually work alone, we found Mulgas by ourselves :)
"The most dangerous snake is the one that just bit you" - Viperkeeper, Al Coritz. That guy knows venomous snakes.
Yes, when you are bitten by a venomous snake…It never happened to us, so we don’t know that feeling 🙂
John Schlesinger,I am an huge fan of Viperkeeper❤️.

Belcher sea snake is the no 1 of venomous snake list

Where in Australia did you shoot this footage? Nice vid btw!
Thanks a lot! It's from the southern part of the Northern Territory.
@@LivingZoologyI'm in SW Qld and the vegetation looked the same. :)
@@phil2112 Yes, the habitats there will be quite similar!
@LivingZoology the fierce snake would kill a cobra fast
The King Cobra is HUGE 😬🐍
Yes, it is the longest venomous snake in the world.
Great video!
Thank you very much!
बहुत अच्छी वीडियो बनाया गया है दोनों साप बहुत सुंदर है पर मेरा एशिया का किंग कोबरा ब्बहुत सुंदर है
Thank you for watching!
Amazing video, as always! You are both a lot braver than me in handling both those animals. Thanks for your continued education for all!
Thank you very much! 🙂 We hope that we can educate as many people as possible about snakes!

The king cobra will have the mugal for lunch any day 😅
And if they are a same size?
@@LivingZoology still the king cobra would win
@@JahidTechBangla Who knows...you have no proof.
When I was a child a kid in my class brought a live brown snake (which is more poisonous then the king brown a.k.a mulga snake) to school on the bus in a box. His dad apparently caught it whilst gardening after finding it nesting near his house . He showed the class the snake for morning news and then the teacher put it in its box on the shelf until home time when the kid took it back home and let it go. This was in the late 80's and I guess this would be frowned upon these days .
Interesting, it sounds like it happened during the 80's!
eastern brown snake are not poisonous.
@@graemebell8929 True, Eastern brown snakes are venomous.
@@graemebell8929I have a feeling that he’s referring to the Pseudonaja genus of brown snake found in Australia, not the Storeria genus of North America. Both genus have a snake called the eastern brown snake but the one found in Australia is considered the second most venomous land snake in the world.
If he’s in North America though, whoever told him that it is more venomous than the king brown snake would have to be an idiot. That is definitely a possibility since I had a pet shop owner that said he was a snake expert tell me that I needed to be careful with my king snake. I asked why and this idiot actually said that because they ate rattlesnakes, it made their bite poisonous. First off, that is plainly BS and second, snake people don’t say poisonous when they mean venomous.

King Cobras are the toughest snakes alive.
They are very tough, yes!
@Vinyl666 Incorrect. There are no circumstances in which the King Cobra is not the toughest snake alive.
@Vinyl666 Not even the black-headed bushmaster would be a match for the king.
@Vinyl666 The King would nougat caught like that, and no one would dare try such nonsense.
@Victor Carbino In an experiment conducted by Raymond Ditmars curator of the Bronx Zoo NY the King Cobra wanted nothing to do with a cottonmouth also a snake eater although a much smaller species.
Next: Gabon Viper against Death Adder
That is an interesting idea!

Amazing this video
Thanks for watching!
They’re beautiful & perfect in design & their properties in their venom makes that unique to themselves 😮
Great Work 🐍
Thank you very much for watching! Both of these snakes are amazing :)
Seemingly to me, they are "brothers from another mother" (continent).
A head to head between these two if similarly sized would be rather unpredictable but generally the King is the king for a reason
Exactly, the King cobra is the the boss!

@@LivingZoology wrong the Mulga Snake is the King Of all Snakes I saw a Mulga Snake swallowed an Inland Taipan the world's Deadliest Snake in AUSTRALIA and the Taipans Venom didn't kill the Mulga Snake
@@EdwardPootchemunkaremember that king Cobra is Immune to venom of all snakes. But 1 bite of a cobra can kill all kinds of snake
@@EdwardPootchemunka The King is immune, the Mulga is just a snack.
Seriously? what is the likelihood of those two snakes ever encountering one-another? AND - if they did the Cobra would be nothing but a meal for the Mulga me thinks.
This video tries to show which snake is more deadly. The result of the fight would depend on the size of those two snakes.
we do know the Cobra grows larger. I gues we could pitt the Taipan against the Black Mamba but these (to my knowledge ) are not snake eaters @@LivingZoology
Living Zoology you always do great comparisons.
I agree with you the King Cobra only because of its size but it would be no pushover the two snakes of comparable size would be a much more interesting contest. One advantage the Mulga has is it can strike faster holds on and delivers equally large amounts of venom. We know both snakes are immune to the most lethal neurotoxins of the Elapidae although snakes from a different geographical area may not be immune to each other's venom whether the Mulga is immune to the KCs venom may be debatable but is the KC able to tolerate massive doses of highly potent mycotoxins, cytotoxins, hemotoxins, and other compounds in the venom?
It may be the case that both snakes end up dead.
The King cobra and the Mulga snake of a similar size would be a tough battle for sure. The King cobra is not fully immune even to venoms of snakes it hunts naturally. It is very probable that both species would have troubles surviving a bite from each other. Thank you for watching!
Yes, it seems that the King Cobra may not be immune to the Mulga's 4 different venom types whereas the Mulga is immune to the deadliest snake in the world, the Inland Taipan. If the Mulga bit the King Cobra first, with its faster strike, I don't see how the King Cobra could come out the winner.

@@davidhunternyc1 kral cobra zekası ile kazanabilir yada ikisi de ölür büyük bir ihtimal
@@davidhunternyc1 wake up from delusion
Against each other, king cobra wins. But i would not want to be bitten by a mulga, they just don't let go.
Yes, Mulgas bite and hold, they inject huge amounts of venom.
di negara saya banyak spesies ular yang memangsa sesama ular seperti ular cobra (naja sputatrix), (bungarus fasciatus), (bungarus candidus), (ptyas carinata)..
tapi semua ular itu adalah mangsa king cobra. king cobra mempunyai jejak feromon. setiap ular akan menghindar dan akan ketakutan jika mencium bau feromon king cobra..
Very simple answer .....
1. Mulga snake would never dare to attack king cobra because of size
2. King cobra eats even pythons for lunch where as mulga snake dont have that combat experience with huge snakes
3. King cobra is highly intelligent to be getting killed by dumb nervous mulga
So clearly king cobra raises to occasaion ....❤
This comparison was great 🔥
Great that you love it! :)

Um ótimo vídeos maravilhosos gostei
Thank you for watching! 🙂
I'd never wear short pants handling any of these deadly snakes.
It was a beautiful sight. Giving the king cobra some water to quench its thirst.
King cobras get thirsty often when handled and it is great how peaceful they are and they will drink like that even when you are close 🙂
Thus far I was always sure that the King Cobra venom is purely neurotoxic.
Many people think so!
No match king cobra is the real king ❤❤
Everything depends on the size, who knows which snake would win if their size was the same.
Considering both snakes have considerable resistance to venom I'm not sure how the venom even matters. Yes cobras are resistant to potent venom, but the mulga is resistance to more highly venomous snakes than the king cobra will encounter. King cobra may win but I'm not sure venom will play much of a role in it
We are comparing snakes using different categories and the venom is one of them.
U did not have to use a bait title. The footage is original and high quality and it could sell it self. U got me ONCE but it won't happen again.
The battle of the Titans great video let’s give around of applause for the cameraman! 🫡
Thank you very much, great that you love our video!
Great again ! No words, just the sound of nature, I feel like beeing there trying to avoid the snakes, many thanks to you !
Love the King and dream oneday to have such a friend....
I think your median LD rating of the King Brown is wrong, research i have read from the Australian Universities state it as the same as a King Cobra,.
So what is the correct value according to your opinion?
It depends on their age and size.
Along with its intelligence the King cobras size helps I overcome other snakes.
Ein tolles vidio
Another excellent presentation. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I also enjoy it🎉🎉 thanks
@@mahlanjwa Thank you very much!
If they meet in wild , then king cobra will eat king brown I think 😂
It would depend on a size of both snakes! 😀
@@LivingZoology You already mentioned in the video that King Cobra is largest venomous snake in the world.
@@LivingZoology nip
@@LivingZoology .
@@MrX-gv6ufwhen fully mature. I think they meant that the individuals size characteristics must be accounted for. So an immature KC not being fully grown... not so clear
Snakes::Cobra am the deadliest
Snake::Mulga know its me
Mongoose:: Are u guys done comparing who is powerful,,when u are done let me know so I can test his strength
An adult Mulga snake and the King cobra are too big for a mongoose :)
@@LivingZoology are u sure,,,How can a Cobra kill a Mongoose
@@emmanuelababio1799 Can a small mongoose kill a 4 meters long King cobra???
@@LivingZoology ,,Just get an adult mongoose and do some experiment for yourself
@@emmanuelababio1799 because king cobra grow upto 6 meter in length a mangoose wouldnt do anything and end up as food they only defeat small to medium sized cobras king is too big
The king cobra would defeat a mulga and devour it, it’s bite force is very powerful, and they are immune from other venomous snakes
An adult Mulga snake would eat a small King cobra :) But yes, if an adult Mulga snake and an adult King cobra meet, the King cobra wins. However, the King cobra is not fully immune to venoms of other snakes.
The King Cobra wouldn't last very long in the outback, nor the Mulga in the jungle. They are adapted for very differnt environments!
king cobra is the king of snakes
Yes, we agree! But a King cobra and a Mulga snake of same size could be an interesting encounter.
King Brown also eats other venomous snakes like the Inland Taipan King Brown is a killer of all snakes
1500mg of venom from Mulga!! Wow! Given the toxicity, it’s amazing. Great video, once again.
Both these snakes inject huge amounts of venom! Thank you for watching our video! 🙂
even with that venom..it cant survive in front of king cobra..
Indigo blue snakes are awesome as well.
Thanks for watching!
One bite from the Mulga snake and it’s all over for the Cobra and as an Australian I am not over impressed with Indian food and the Mulga snake is probably the same
Interesant ar fi sa muste fiecare pe celalalt... Oare care rezista sau moare careva
That would be for sure interesting, but these snakes live on different continents 🤷♂️
All hail the king!
Thank you for watching!
I dont get how the cobra wins in the venom category. I reckon the mulga snake wins as the deadlier snake. but that is just my opinion.
We compare LD50 values for these snakes and the King cobra has a slightly more toxic venom.
It could be easier to compare if the information of these two species was listed side by side instead of one after the other.
We use this approach because we want to show great footage of both species and jumping from one to another immediately would be confusing.
Never seen the Mulga before, everyone knows the King, but the Mulga is a huge thick powerful snake.
Mulga snake is the largest venomous snake of Australia, it is a powerful species indeed!
But not more than the King. King is majestic🔥
@@ronsall7901 I actually prefer the Australian snakes, so deadly so many types.
@@SimonPaterson-b5c Yes, they are so deadly in terms of their venom but not powerful as the King by strength. King Cobra's venom yield is much higher than the Australian's & also have higher muscle power as constrictor.
@@ronsall7901 They do not have anywhere near the venom yield of Australian snakes. That Mulga is 10 times as deadly as the Cobra and will not let go. When they milk the King Brown, they have to let the glass go in with the snake, then retrieve it when it lets go..
King Cobra will kill all the snakes.
The Mulga snake is also a snake eater.
As is a King snake
Yeah Racers Snakes indigo and Coachwhips all prey on venomous snakes
the 2nd venomous snake in the world is Subang Taipan. rare . 😮
Stunning, as always.
Thank you very much! 🙏
The King Cobra Isn't really a cobra but a species of Mamba!!
King Cobra Ophiophagus Hannah species elapid family of snakes . Black Mamba Dendroaspis Polylepis species elapid family of snakes . They are related but not the same species of snakes .
@@richardhincemon the reason King cobra doesn't belong to cobra as a species but related to Mamba,thats the message!.
@franzdacosta4211 True Cobras Naja genus the King Cobra is a cousin of the Cobra and is related to the Black Mamba but is neither genus or species of snakes .
The King cobra is more closely related to mambas than to true cobras.
@@LivingZoologykrait + Banded krait+ Spectecled cobra + Monocled cobra = KING COBRA
The mulga has a higher (deadlier) LD50 than the cobra, so all else being equal, it’s more deadly to human beings.
Watch the video and check the result.
Where is battle
They didn't mean a literal battle. The video is comparing the two snakes.
Nowhere clickbait as usual
Where's the battle of these snakes...???
King Kobra is donn of in tha world 😈😈😈😈
Thanks for watching.
If they meet, I think they won't fight... They go in separate ways I guess... They can recognise a meal worthy snake I think...
"Hey bro i hear you are from Asia! Have a good hunt here bro!" 😊
I want to know Mr. Whitaker take on this subject though
We think that they will try to eat each other...the size of both snakes will matter a lot!
Thank you for this comprehensive
You are very welcome!
Great videos and cool people. I do wish for less misleading titles
Thank you very much for watching!
Kevin would eat the Mulga for breakfast 😂
It would be interesting to see an encounter of a King cobra and a Mulga snake of the same size!
I think we are going to watch deadly snakes fight but nothing happens like that in this video
Thes snakes live on different continents so they cannot literally fight.
Thank you for this comprehensive comparison.
Welcome! Great that you like this video! 🙂

The mulga snake AKA the king brown would kill the cobra with its venom regardless of the size of cobra. It has small but very sharpe fangs and chews its victims injecting all of its venom. I heard one story of a man rocking up to hospital with a live king brown attached to his arm as he couldn’t get it to release. Imagine the commotion and talk about getting to the front of the queue in the waiting room…
The King cobra does the same and it also has a lot of venom.
Which is the world shortest venomous snake in the world ?
Seemingly to me, they are "brothers from another mother" (continent).
They are a bit similar, yes!
Have I got this right please? King browns are Australian snakes and king cobras are south Asian and southeast Asian snakes?
Yes, you have that right!
Is that Mulga the species that aussies call a "king brown" ?
They both have an evil eye.
Yes, another name for the Mulga snake is the King brown snake. They both have beautiful eyes.
Two of my favorite snake species! Very large venomous snakes with huge venom yields and they both like eating other snakes!
Thank you for watching! We agree that these snakes are amazing!
I just saw a king kopra near my feet ,,man im scared a shake all my body and run away like dude u wanna live or not just run 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for watching.
Bad day vlog for this isiot vlogger!!😅😅😅
Which vlog??
Where was the battle take place?
These snakes live on different continents.
Both these snakes are stunning creatures who fill similar ecological niches on different continents, I feel sad that some people feel the need to keep such amazing wild animals as "pets".

Amazing
Thank you very much!
unfortunately there are some reports here in the philippines that there are sightings and much more worst a bite case of mulga snake a victim was native people here in benguet.
No one ain't gonna win against king cobra... They're larger and cannibal... Except python and Anaconda (size matters)
Well the most ultimate battles will be between Banded Krait and King Cobra.
I want you guys to make a video on that.
Both are king snakes and battle is possible as well because both are found in India.
Thanks for watching! Thanks for your opinion, that is an interesting suggestion.
Brother I heard king cobra have some species as well depending upon their region like Indonesian and Philippines king cobras got more deadly venom then Indian or Chinese king cobras is it true ?
There are differences between various populations of the King cobra and they might become a separate species in the future. We don't know about studies which compared venom of different populations.
