Some of you may not know what a mongoose is. You will see them in the photo busy trying to increase their population. I like them but the only bad habit they have is digging in the soil for tubers and eating our pineapples. But they keep reptiles away and so I tolerate them when they use our premises to increase their population. We have many strolling around here.

I have watched a Mongoose fighting off a big snake and it was some time back now. They really can defend themselves against such danger.

@allknowing Yes indeed no fear of snakes in them and it went straight for the throat area. Always been impressed the know how they have.

I know what one is, but we don't have them around where I live in the United States. Good luck!

We had planted sweet potatoes and they destroyed that patch But if we raise the bed they do not go there. I am trying for that this year.
