The fight between King Cobra VS the giant python that ended in a draw

A battle between a king cobra and a giant python ends in a horrible series.
King cobra is found dead choked in his enemy's coil, while the python dies poisoned after being bitten in the back of his head.
Photo carcasses both then become viral on Facebook and attract the attention of the herpetologists.
"(Photos) it looks original, not in-photoshop or edited. This is a strange encounter, but many things happen to snakes that do not look human, "said Frank Burbrink of the American Museum of Natural History.

Meanwhile, Coleman Sheehy from the Florida Museum of National History says, this is a crazy scene, but I can imagine this is easy going.
The world out there is very dangerous, (snakes) eat other big snakes and other things that can kill you.
Coleman also added that the photo is most likely taken in Southeast Asia, where the two species share their habitat.
The admiration of these two herpetologists is only natural. Both king cobras, as well as pythons are the top predators among snakes.

According to Sheehy, king cobra is the largest poisonous snake in the world.
Some of them up to more than 5 meters.
Then, according to the name of the genus Ophiophagus, prey king cobra is another snake.
They will target the bottom of the head and inject it into the deadly nervous system of the enemy.
Meanwhile, the python or python batik (Python reticulatus) that is in the photo is one of the longest snakes in the world as some can reach 9 meters.

They use their muscles to wrap around prey, like large mammals.
"If there is an occurrence of prey here, it is a king cobra preying on a python. And it turns out the results are not good for both, "said Burbrink.
Both Burbrink and Sheehy do not know how common the king cobra fights with pythons. They also do not know if this is a natural occurrence.
"We know that cobras eat other snakes, but you'll never know if this is human intent. (The reason) people keep the king cobra and maybe think to challenge his pet, "said Burbrink.
But whatever the cause, the results are obvious.
Pythons succumbed to the king cobra, but were unable to resist its common effects.
"It will kill the python quickly, possibly within 30 minutes. So both will die, "Sheehy said.
