The king cobra does not typically engage in symbiotic relationships as it is a solitary predator. However, if we were to consider hypothetical scenarios, a mutualistic relationship could be with a bird species that feeds on parasites found on the cobra's skin, benefiting both species. A commensalistic relationship could involve a smaller animal using the cobra's abandoned burrow for shelter without impacting the cobra. A parasitic relationship might involve a tick species feeding on the cobra's blood, harming the cobra in the process.
