Don't make me laugh, Lizard. She probably had her teeth removed or something, she could have bitten it maybe 10 times in the time it took to film.

Here, by the way, is what I found about your "cool dude":

The behavior of cobras is quite stereotypical, as a significant portion of the cobra's diet, and even more so in the diet of other related snakes, consists of reptiles and amphibians. Hunting such animals does not require particularly complex movements. Any predatory mammal is a more agile animal. Even a stupid one, like a mongoose. This is a rather primitive predator – a member of the viverrid family. The image of something weasel-like, as shown in the famous Soviet cartoon, is not suitable here. In its stupidity, this animal is somewhat similar to a hedgehog. In general, mongooses hunt for all sorts of small creatures, such as lizards, frogs, invertebrates, etc. Catching a snake is a great success for them. Often, they don't even try to grab these animals near the head, but eat from the part they have caught. By the way, among such non-venomous snakes, there are tropical snakes and some colubrids, which also spread their cervical ribs and form a "hood," like a cobra (imitative behavior). This is usually all that happens – such a snake does not inflict a dangerous bite, and from the outside, it is clear that the mongoose is eating the cobra. Mongooses do not have immunity to snake venom. Hunting truly venomous snakes and grabbing them by the head is likely possible only for a few individuals (by the way, snake catchers also exist among ordinary cats), but fakirs immediately use them for the corresponding tricks, and it turns out that mongooses are famous for this. This fame did the mongooses a disservice. At one time, they were brought to Martinique and Saint Lucia to fight the aforementioned jararacas and labarias, but these are completely different snakes – with long, retractable venomous teeth, equipped with thermolocators, and with very good reaction speed, not like cobras. These snakes, in order to inject a substantial dose of venom, simply need to strike the predator with their needle-like teeth. In principle, the mongoose itself is about the right size for a labaria (and probably a jararaca) as prey. On these islands, mongooses exterminated several species of local fauna, including at least four species of endemic snakes – exterminators of rodents – and turned out to be a real disaster for the island fauna.
