King Cobra vs Peacock
Pretend a king cobra and a peacock meet in forest. Look at the facts. Then you pick.
Would they meet?
Yes. They could meet in the real wild. This page is still a what-if.
This is pretend and based on facts. Real animals usually hide or leave.
Read the facts. Make your card. The page waits to pick.
King Cobra
Ophiophagus hannah · The tallest snake, with a hood like a warning sign.
Snake-eater with a stand-up hood.
Heat and chemical trail.
Alert, not cartoon-mean.
Family: Other cobras and mambas — the elapid family of front-fanged specialists.
Peacock
Pavo cristatus · A walking fireworks show with spurs.
Bug and seed pecker.
They see in color that would melt a crayon box.
Show-off until startled, then a surprisingly mean kick.
Family: Pheasants and junglefowl — the flashy chicken extended family.
SIZE & WEIGHT
Stand them next to a grown-up. Who is bigger and heavier?
1.70 m
Grown-up
0.50 m
King Cobra
1.10 m
Peacock
Height to scale. A grown-up is 1.7 m.
Can stretch longer than a pickup truck, but no thicker than a grown-up's arm.
Light as a cat, longer than a broom when the train is fully extra.
King Cobra
0.50 m · 7 kg
King Cobra is small. 7 kg.
Peacock
1.10 m · 5 kg
Peacock is small. 5 kg.
Kilograms are honest. A small animal can still have a strong tool.
Who would you pick for size?

Teeth, claws, horns, venom, kick — what tools do they have?

King Cobra
Hood-high venom fangs
Tool: hood-high venom fangs. Bite: 100 psi.
Peacock
Leg spurs
Tool: leg spurs. Bite: 20 psi.
A bite number is only one tool. Coils and kicks count too.
Whose tools would you trust?
SPEED
Who gets there first?
King Cobra
18 km/h
King Cobra can go 18 km/h. That is not very fast.
Peacock
16 km/h
Peacock can go 16 km/h. That is not very fast.
A fast animal can miss. A slow one only has to connect.
Who takes the speed card?

Peacock
This is home · Lives in Asia

FOOD
How do they get lunch?
King Cobra
Meat · Snake-eater with a stand-up hood.
Mostly other snakes.
Peacock
Plants and meat · Bug and seed pecker.
Seeds, insects, small reptiles.
A plant eater is not 'safe.' Hippos and elephants still end arguments.
Whose hunting or defending helps more?
MOOD
Alone vs team. This rumble is one vs one.
King Cobra
Lives alone
Alert, not cartoon-mean. Grit: 8/10.
Peacock
Lives in a flock
Show-off until startled, then a surprisingly mean kick. Grit: 4/10.

Who are they related to?
King Cobra
Ophiophagus hannah
Other cobras and mambas — the elapid family of front-fanged specialists.
Peacock
Pavo cristatus
Pheasants and junglefowl — the flashy chicken extended family.
Cousins are clues, not a score.
Not a fight point. Who has the wilder family story?
SPECIAL
What special move did they evolve?
King Cobra
Wobble Venom Warning
One bite can make a huge animal feel wobbly and want a very long nap.
Peacock
Train Fan Blast
The train rattles, the eyespots shimmer, and everybody forgets what they were doing.
A secret move here is a real wild tool, not a video-game combo.
Whose special move would change the meeting?

A STOMP
You skipped a final pick. The facts still stamp a champ.
On forest, King Cobra wins. King Cobra's hood-high venom fangs helps more. Peacock would still win some meetings at home.
In the wild, most animals skip a fight. We still judge who the bodies and the place would favor.
Science card: King Cobra 7 · Peacock 0 · ties 1.
Your card: King Cobra 0 · Peacock 0.
The last page follows the whole animal — body plus home — not one bar chart.
