16th Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Dominance of a King
A natural history moment of two King Cobra males fighting over territory or mate in the absolute wild. This was at Corbett Tiger Reserve and probably one of the very few records of king cobra fight from the untouched wild. It was close to the end of the fight as they were both very tired and one of them seems to have a dominant position.
