The two cobras are tightly entwined to distinguish more than losing in the battle for the right to mate with children in national parks in Arkansas, USA.

Dawn Kelly witnessed the fighting between the cobra (cottonmouth) and the copperhead in the Buffalo National River Park national park in Snowball, Arkansas, USA on September 6, according to Live Science.

Upon discovering the neighbor's dog staring intently at the grass, Kelly moved closer to see more clearly and found two other cobra species fighting fiercely.

Two similar-sized male snakes engrossed themselves in each other to judge the opponent's strength to the point of not bothering when Kelly used a video camera for several minutes at a few meters away.

According to Kelly, cobra and cobra are very popular in the region, although they are often hidden and rare than other snakes. Kelly describes two male snakes that are more than 0.6 meters long."They didn't pay attention to me until I drove the dog away," Kelly said.

After watching the video, biologist David Steen, a research assistant professor at Auburn University's Natural History Museum in Alabama, said snakes are difficult to study in captivity, so the way they live and interact with each other is still a mystery."As far as I know, no one has recorded two different cobra species fighting before," Steen said.

Steen explains more likely that two male snakes vie for a female at the sight.Cobra of fish and cobra cannot cross cross due to two different species. Steen intends to study the strange behavior of two male snakes more closely with other researchers.
