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 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❤️.
Right even a copperhead bite isn’t gonna be a fun time.
😊
Love the vids. Keep up the great work.
Glad you like them! Thank you!
The king cobra will have the mugal for lunch any day 😅
And if they are a same size?
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!

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
Thank u 4 another great video
Thank you for coming to our channel regularly!
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.
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!
King Cobras are the toughest snakes alive.
They are very tough, yes!
They can be be under the right circumstances
@@vinyl6668 Incorrect. There are no circumstances in which the King Cobra is not the toughest snake alive.
@@victorcarbino8736 I think a few vipers could beat it, but big enough things with a puncture wound to the head
@@vinyl6668 Not even the black-headed bushmaster would be a match for the king.
Where is the fight, no good title.
It is a hypothetical battle.
Next: Gabon Viper against Death Adder
That is an interesting idea!
@@LivingZoology In first , the weight ! 😂
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..
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 :)
James Andy Vanover here. You guys have some awesome videos.
Many thanks! Great that you love our channel! 🙂
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.

@@fundiswahlanjwa1889 Thank you very much!
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 🙂
Love it!
Thank you very much!
Samay barbad kiya shame......
Thanks for watching!
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
Fabulous video of two most deadliest 🐍 🐍
Thank you very much!
All hail the king!
Thank you for watching!
I don't think a King Cobra would be able to eat a Mulga Snake . The Mulga Snake venom is very potent and they have built in chemical defences against bites from other more toxic venom Australian snakes and as seen with all snake fights both snakes are bitten in the struggle. The King Cobra would probably die after a confrontation with a Mulga Snake. Australian land snakes venom is the most potent in the world closely followed African snakes such as Black Mambas. The Mulga Snake would not be able to eat a King Cobra unless it was a baby.
Who knows how immune the Mulga snake is against venom of a snake which does not live in Australia. Also, the King cobra is intelligent and when it attacks venomous snakes it grabs them by the head so they don’t bite. Who knows what would happen if these two met, that’s why we compare them using 5 categories.
Thank you for this comprehensive comparison.
Welcome! Great that you like this video! 🙂

Amazing this video
Thanks for watching!
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.
Awesome 👍
Thank you very much!
Amazing
Thank you very much!
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
This comparison was great 🔥
Great that you love it! :)

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.
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?
Indigo blue snakes are awesome as well.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Guys for your beautiful hardWork
but i am searching for
king cobra'S attacking videoS
Thanks for watching! King cobras are usually very calm snakes 🙂
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..
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".
Yes, these two snakes are amazingly strong and have similar ecology 🙂 We think that they belong to their habitat!
@@LivingZoology they’re not pets, they use them for scientific purposes. Anyone who wants to on one as a Pet has a Deathwish.
There never truly pets
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.
King cobra would win, but it wouldn’t be easy since both have an immunity to venom.
Actually, it is thought that the King cobra does not have a full immunity to other snake’s venoms. That is why when the King cobra hunts a venomous snake, it grabs it specifically behind the head so it cannot be bitten.
@@LivingZoology again the king cobra would have to use its strength since they’re both immune venom
@@vinyl6668 King Cobra Ophiophagus Hannah is not immune to snake venom they kill by biting other snakes behind the head and overpowering them. The Mulga snake AKA the King Brown Pseudechis australis is immune to the venom of the Western Brown snakes venom and has resistance to other venomous snakes in Australia.

@@LivingZoology kings head is bigger and its larger they are also known as snake eaters so the mulga snake will end up as food
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.
Nice video. No jarring background music. No voice over. Only facts.
Glad you liked it! 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).
Ok..this is a amazing ..
Thank you for watching!
@@LivingZoology yes..okey..
THE KING COBRA IS MY FAVORITE SNAKE IN THE WORLD!!
We agree that the King cobra is an amazing snake! 🐍❤️
@Happy Forces, mine too❤️.
Me too! ❤
Mine's the Black Mamba (though I find the green mamba the most beautiful of the species)
As i know the deadliest snake in the world is water snake the black and white color 'by the venom'..
However king cobra has another name king seje snake... That makes me scared than water snakes 😁
Um ótimo vídeos maravilhosos gostei
Thank you for watching! 🙂
Thus far I was always sure that the King Cobra venom is purely neurotoxic.
Many people think so!
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

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.
great
Thank you!
Stunning, as always.
Thank you very much! 🙏
King Brown or Mulga Snake can be found in Papua or New Guinea so maybe even Indonesia or Asia so maybe they have actually met before
As far as we know, Mulga snakes don’t live on the New Guinea island. There are Papuan black snakes.
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 🤷♂️
Dangerers!
Thanks for watching.
Seemingly to me, they are "brothers from another mother" (continent).
They are a bit similar, yes!
Good
Thanks!
Where was the battle take place?
These snakes live on different continents.
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.
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.
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.
❤❤
Thanks for watching.
Great videos and cool people. I do wish for less misleading titles
Thank you very much for watching!
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.
Too many snakes try to compare to the king but almost all is no mach except the big ones
We picked a good candidate for a comparison 🙂
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!
Nice work. King cobras are also much closer to humans.
Thanks! King cobras are snakes the same way as the Mulga snake, so similarly far away from humans 🙂 But we get your point, they are so intelligent!
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.
@@user-mg8tw7yo4f 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..
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.

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.
We didn't watch any battle between these two snakes. But your catchline was battle between these two snakes. Extremely disheartened.
These two snakes live on different continents, so they cannot have a direct battle.
The King Cobra is HUGE 😬🐍
Yes, it is the longest venomous snake in the world.
👌
Thank you!

Thanks!
Guess we will know when its on video
Watch our video and you will know :)
Is the “Mulga Snake” also known as the King Brown?
Yes, another common name is the King brown snake. It is confusing as the Mulga snake is not a brown snake, but a black snake.
King cobra très beaux il est grand il va gagner❤
Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching!
King Brown might be able to take a smaller or juvenile king cobra. Might put up a fight against an adult but, still come up short and would be a satisfying meal for a king cobra for a good minute.
Yes, if an adult Mulga snake meets a baby King cobra, the winner is obvious.
@@LivingZoology not sure if that counts, though
@Vinyl666 Maylayan Blue Coral snakes and Red Headed Kraits prey on juvenile King Cobras. King Cobra versus King Brown both of equal size would be an epic battle.
@@richardhincemon Yes, if they were about the same size, it would be a big battle.
@@LivingZoology after everything said, and done, the king cobra would have quite the beer gut for a few days.

Thanks for watching.
you guys make me nervous. stay safe.
We try to stay safe always and working with venomous snakes usually belongs to less dangerous parts of our trips 😀 Car accidents are much more scary for example!
@@LivingZoology In one part of the video, the mulga snake was a bit too close to the handlers leg.
@@Sphynx93rkn Not sure which moment you mean, we always try to work safely and it is important to read snake’s behavior. When the snake is not defensive and just slithering, you can have it fairly close to your leg in some moments.
@@LivingZoology During 12:45 in this video, when the handler is adjusting their glasses. Idk, it's probably a safe distance but yeah it got me a bit nervous and worried at that time lol.
Where is fight
This is not a physical fight.
