We can all beat the fuck out of cobras. Just sayin

It would probably be a pyrrhic victory though.

Yeah if there's no anti-venom, this does seem like the kind of fight where just everybody dies.

Yup. I mean, you might not survive with this method, but if you just get it to bite your foot (assuming you have shoes) you could just stomp it immediately afterwards.

Similar story for the eagle - it will definitely leave gashes in you, but so long as you flail your arms and get one decent hit on it (enough to get it out of the air), you would be able to cripple it decently fast.

I'm realizing I don't really like thinking about hypothetically beating up animals, though. If they're fighting you, they're either scared for their lives, defending their young, or starving to death.
