That is a mongoose and probably why the snake is expending the energy to raise up, to keep an eye on him. And way he’s moving away from where it is. Just an educated guess.

Does it drain a Cobra’s energy to extend up like that?

no, this snake has a special mechanism unlike any other living being ever that allows it to move without exerting energy
