· Though a mongoose can usually kill a cobra, it will be usually be killed by a rattlesnake. The mongoose is accustomed to the cobra's downward strikes, but is not familiar with the rattlesnake's upward strike. Also the rattlesnake's strike is much quicker than that of the cobra. The rattlesnake has one of the quickest strikes in the snake world.
