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.

Nice find :) I had some distant memory about king cobras, that those might be able to do it, but I had never checked if there are cases. Trunk and some other parts are of course more vulnerable than some others in elephant. In those thick skin parts it might be impossible to bite deep enough. But maybe king cobra has enough force to go deep, it is quite big snake after all.
