The largest poisonous snake would be the King Cobra(Ophiophagus hanna), the Latin wordOphiophagus means "Snake-eater". The king cobras average size is 13-14 ft.

Although not the most toxic of poisonous snakes a king cobra can kill an elephant with one bite, the king cobra tracks by site and smell then kills it's prey by striking and injecting it with venom and swallowing it whole, it's preferred diet is mainly other venomous and non-venomous snakes but includes small reptiles, birds and amphibians as well. King Cobras are aggressive and will rear up to confront the intruder where most other cobras will slither away and hide. The only predators are the mongoose and man.
Do tigers eat Mongoose and Meerkats?
Tigers are Asian; Mongooses are mainly african, and meerkats (a species of mongoose) are exclusively african.
The only place in the world where tigers and mongooses coexist would be India. I doubt that Tigers would both with mongooses; too small, and too difficult to catch. Indian Mongooses are highly social mammals; a tiger wouldn't want to be hamstrung by a troop of swarming mongooses and left for dead.
In addition, mongooses are quite alert (they post sentries) and would quickly flee to their burrows if possible, making it even more unlikely that a tiger would bother them.
What does a mongoose look like using words?
Mongooses bear a striking resemblance to mustelids, having long faces and bodies, small rounded ears, short legs, and long tapering tails. Most arebrindled or grizzly; few have strongly marked coats. They have non-retractile claws that are used primarily for digging. Mongooses, much like goats, have narrow, ovular pupils. Most species have a large anal scent gland, used for territorial marking and signaling reproductive status.
Weasel lookalikeThe mongoose has a very similar appearance to the weasel, despite not being closely related. Their long sleek bodies and short fur fit them for similar ecological niches. They live in similar climates and both burrow underground. Like weasels, mongooses also have short legs and tails.The mongoose reproduces at a high and rapid rate. They breed 2-3 times per year and their litter size is usually about 3. The female can begin breeding as early as 10 weeks old and during her 4 year lifespan can give birth to up to 36 young. They are solitary animals aside from breeding and mothers caring for young.
Yes, all types of mongooses can swim. Though the mongoose is primarily a land animal, some species of the mongoose live near the water, and are semiaquatic, and have webbed like feet. The Marsh mongoose, the Ring Tailed mongoose, and the Crab eating mongoose, either eat fish or amphibians in their diets, and part of their food resource are in water (either swamps, marshes, or sea water).

Mongoose lemurs face threats from predators, which include humans, the fossa, hawks, and boas. Like any wild animal, they must cope with food shortages and disease.

As an endangered species, it is forced to cope with continued habitat loss and forest fragmentation.
