MONGOOSE

Wallpaper Description:

Mongoose is a name for any member of the family Herpestidae , a family of small, cat-like carnivores.There are more than thirty species, ranging from one to four feet in length. Some species of mongooses lead predominantly solitary lives, seeking out food only for themselves, while others travel in groups, sharing food among the members of the group. Mongooses mostly feed on insects, crabs, earthworms, lizards, snakes, chickens, and rodents. However, they also eat eggs and carrion. Some species, such as the Indian Mongoose, are popularly used to fight and kill venomous snakes, even King Cobras. They are able to do this because of their agility and cunning, and their thick coat, but typically avoid the cobra and have no particular affinity for consuming its meat.Some species of mongoose are quite intelligent and can be taught simple tricks, which has led to a number of them being domesticated.
