MOBI cover images are not placed in the body of the ebook. It is common, though, for an EPUB to have both a true cover image and a second copy placed at the beginning of the book data.
When these EPUBs get converted to MOBI the resulting file has a true MOBI-style cover
and a matching image at the beginning of the book itself. Often this second image displays at a different size on a Kindle as the Kindle zooms the true cover to fit the screen and the second copy is treated like any other image in the book and displayed at its native size or that spec'd in the <img> tag. Calibre's "remove first image" can remove the extra copy from the book data but does not touch the true cover image.
