Common Wolf Snake vs Cobra: Who would win a fight?
Shivani Tiwari
Cobras can vary significantly in size and weight, usually ranging from 7 to 19 feet and typically weigh between 3 to 9 kg.
The common wolf snake is a small to medium-sized snake, typically ranging from 20 to 28 inches in length and weighing a few hundred grams.
Cobras are agile and fast, swiftly escaping threats or striking prey with precision and speed.
The common wolf snake is not known for speed or agility, but it possesses excellent climbing skills.
Cobras' neurotoxic venom is a potent weapon, capable of paralysing and killing, giving them a significant edge in confrontations.
The common wolf snake is non-venomous, while they may bite defensively, their bite is unlikely to cause serious harm.
Cobras display a threat by spreading their hood, hissing loudly, and rearing up. They use specialised muscles and ribs to appear larger and deter predators.
Wolf snakes lack the cobra's ability, but they are skilful climbers and hunters.
The cobra's size and defensive mechanisms likely ensure its victory in a hypothetical fight between the common wolf snake and a cobra.
