Snake is a general term for degenerated reptiles with four limbs, and there are other names such as snake, python, viper, etc. According to the species, there are also synonyms such as Agkistrodon acutus, python, viper and so on. The body is slender, the limbs are degenerated, and the surface of the body is covered with scales, most of which are terrestrial. There are also semi-arboreal, semi-aquatic and aquatic ones that feed on rats, frogs and insects. Let's take a look at the natural enemies of snakes.

Snakehead

Snake owl, also known as Mengo, ash, etc., is physically flexible, lives in tropical jungles, preys on small animals, but also eats cobras, and is strongly resistant to snake venom. Moreover, snakebirds live in the world as if they are against poisonous snakes. Sometimes they can't put them down when they are full, but when they encounter a poisonous snake, they still have to kill it, just like a cat when it sees a mouse.

Snake vulture

Basically all vultures can eat snakes, but snake vultures must be closely related to snakes when they see the name. Large birds of prey like vultures can fly to an altitude of 10,000 meters, which is equivalent to an airplane. The snake vulture can be up to 1.2 meters tall, has long legs and is famous for its ability to eat snakes. Basically any snake is killed by just two pecks.

Honey badger

Honey badger's fur is very rough, neither afraid of bee stings, nor afraid of snake bites, especially like to eat honey, but also like to eat snakes, at the sight of snakes will take the initiative to attack, king cobras, mamba snakes and other highly venomous snakes are their food. With high agility and natural anti-poison constitution, the venomous snake can feel nothing after being bitten. At most, it can lie down and sleep for a while and get up again, so the snake has no solution to it.

King Cobra

The king cobra is one of the most dangerous snakes in the world, also known as the mountain snake, over the mountain peak, the big flat-necked snake, etc., although it is called the "king cobra", but this species is different from the real cobra, it is not a member of the cobra genus, but belongs to the independent king cobra genus. Compared with other cobras, they are more ferocious in nature, extremely agile in response, flexible in head and neck rotation and large in detoxification. The main food is similar ── other snakes, so it is rare to see other kinds of snakes in the king cobra territory.

Hedgehog

Hedgehogs can't be annoyed by snakes. Wild hedgehogs will drive out rats and snakes near where they live, which is equivalent to a free gardener, but sometimes they will steal a few fruits from you to eat. The hedgehog moves slowly, but its long spikes determine that it is not an ordinary thing. After meeting the enemy, it curls up and stands up with sharp thorns. Even large beasts are unable to eat, and snakes of course have nothing to do. Usually snakes have no choice but to run away in the shape of a cute hedgehog.
