Actually this is how cobras fight in the wild. When one male encounters another male in his territory they don't fight until death but they do a kind of battle in which they try to push the other cobra's head to the ground. Once a cobra is pushed to the ground he has lost and will retreat. This is a really effective way for the cobra race to stay alive.

What you see here is the man slapping the cobra to the ground, effectively showing the cobra who's boss and making sure the cobra will not attack him any further.

TIL. That's awesome info!

[–]space_paradox 153 points154 points ago

This is actually how most fights between animals of the same kind go down. You can also observe it in moose (meese?) wolves, heck, problably in humans too. They won't really hurt each other, and never attack lethaly until one side backs down. Also they try to intimidate each other. Only when the weaker guy doesn't back down shit hits the fan.

This is a mechanism that allows the bigger and healthier individual to stay in charge, while still leaving the weaker guy alive and hence keeping the pack and/or species strong instead of killing each other.

                giraffes are probably the best example. They fight each other by whacking each other with their horns, which is not terribly dangerous compared to, say, kicking each other, which could very easily result in death for one of them.

                  At first I was confused at how they fight with their 4-5" horns, but man does that look awkward. They need a "I have no clue what I'm doing" sign hung around their necks.

                    My dogs will often do this. The puppy gets out of hand and my dog will force her to the ground and keep her mouth over her neck until the puppy calms down. Then again, the pup just gets back to it when she's let go

                    [–]CrazyBoxLady 2 points3 points ago

                    There is a dog training tool similar to this. I used it on my pup and it worked like a dream. You just flip te dog on their back, with their shoulders between your legs, and press your hands firmly down on their chest until their breathing normalizes (after overly-rambunctious activity). Works every time. Until the time you allow them to escape. Then it will probably never work again.

                    [–]dracy69 3 points4 points ago

                    I do this with my pitbull all the time. He is really hard to calm down once he gets hyper in my yard.

                    My lab doesn't help at all either, she likes to bite at his legs and then chase each other around the yard.

                    so here I am trying to calm down my pit and here comes this little asshole thinking... "oh he sure looks calm, I guess now is an awesome time to chew on his leg".

                    then it was all for nothing...sigh.

                    I fenced for a while and my fencing teacher told a similar story on the origin of fencing. Back in the 1400's, dueling was common to settle disputes but mostly just in the upper layers of society.

                    Dueling to the death was common but took its toll on the aristocracy headcount, so they began dueling to "first blood" which accomplished the same thing as smacking a cobra on the head.

                    It is also helpful that, in the case of a cobra, it will strike forward-and-down and not up-and-out like most other snakes. This makes it easier for the man to guess the cobra's movements (as they are very predictable strikers) in order to stay away from the mouth and, more importantly, the fangs.

                            You see similar behavior across the wild. Rams are probably the best known example of this, hitting each other head on is a good proxy for physical strength without hurting each other too substantially (their brains are better cushioned than ours are, and spines more prepared for impact). The argument has been put forth that arbitration of this sort is the evolutionary reason for the advent of "justice".

                            Most of these Cobra's have been defanged. Most snake handlers in their right mind would not be so careless if there was a chance at real death.

                            Does this same trick work with rattle snakes?

                            [–]TheInsubordinateLamb 9 points10 points ago

                            The strike pattern on a rattlesnake is far different and sporadic than a cobra. A cobra will strike forward-and-down EVERY time and, thus, can only strike about a third of it's body (the amount of the body that is up when it hoods). A rattlesnake, on the other hand, will strike straight out or up-and-out. They also coil, which allows for their strike to reach anywhere from 2/3 to the entirety of its body-length, depending on the surface that the snake is on. Rattlesnakes are also far faster strikers (think of a car going from 0-60 in roughly 0.5 seconds) and they are working on heat-sensory, which allows for a much more accurate strike. Given all of these factors, it makes it extremely more difficult, and more importantly DANGEROUS, to even try to hit the back of a rattlesnake's head. In fact, due to the directionality of the strike, itself, you would be doing more harm than good because you would most likely be bringing the mouth closer to yourself.

                            *Edited silly grammatical typos.

                            TL;DR: Nope nope nope.

                              Remember that this is a fight though. I'm pretty sure the chance of trying this for your first time and it actually working (that is: you not getting bitten) are pretty slim. It looks like this isn't the first time that guy is around a snake.

                              And to add to that, the way he struck the cobra (coming down from the top), makes it very difficult for the cobra to bite him. Cobras strike by raising their head up in the air then kind of diving forward, so they can't really strike in an upward direction. That is different than something like a rattlesnake which coils up like a spring and then jumps forward. Don't try this move on a rattlesnake.

                                      i think defanging a cobra is just wrong, i mean you take away its venom and what have you got?… you got a belt

                                          Something about that movie that was absolutely unclear to me was that the space marines know it's a "bug hunt," but when the xenos attack them they react like they've never seen them before. They even bring Ripley along because she is one of the only people who has encountered a xeno and survived. Are there other horrible space bugs in the Alien universe that space marines hunt?

                                          [–][deleted] 2 points3 points ago

                                          I thought I had read somewhere that there was unspoken cannon for the films that indicated there were other alien species that humans had encountered, but they were primitive animals and relatively harmless. This would explain why they seem so bored at the thought of a "bug hunt" instead of really understanding how dangerous the mission was.

                                                      From the youtube video the gif is taken from, he is looking for fangs that are growing back. He opens a few of the snakes mouths to look for them.

                                                        Yup - they rip the fangs out and the snakes usually die 6 months or so after. It is really horrible.

                                                        Don't downvote this guy. He's completely right. De-fangs of venomous snakes almost always result in fatal infections of the mouth especially in impoverished countries. I can bet that this video wasn't shot in America or any Western European country. I don't care what your opinions are on snakes, that's not the way you handle a dangerous animal.
