They're both venomous snakes. The cobra can kill with it's bite , while water moccasin's venom is not usually fatal to humans(it can be @ times) Cobra venom stops your breathing while the moccasin's venom causes massive tissue damage due to bleeding. Moccasins are mostly found around water, while cobras are field %26 forest snakes. Lastly, there are no cobras in the new world,while moccasin type snakes can be found world-wide.
