There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

@Shadow those fangs are not blunt sticks. Their fangs are nothing but hollow needles and as sharp as that. You are talking about elephants right.




and Syringe needles can penetrate for injection.

and it don't need to be injected deep into musculature, subcutaneous venom release is enough. Your elephant is doomed.

King cobra fangs = 0.5 inches (8 to 10 millimeters) and It kills elephants. No animal runs into snakes wantedly, snakes camouflage well and may step on them to bite. Only mongooses, meerkats, eagles, birds and badgers are rivals for snakes. Gaboon viper is mismatch for pachyderms.
