I happened to photograph a pair of Mongooses which came to my society on Sunday 7 oct. I have seen them before this many times; they are regular visitors to my society.
Mongooses are believed to keep poisonous snakes away form the surroundings. Mongoose’s main food is insects and rodents like rats. They help to keep many of the pest species under control. (They are carnivores in nature)
This mongoose is commonly called as the Gray mongoose (Harpestes edwardsii) the common name comes from the gray colored coat of the animal. Some people keep mongoose as pets and can easily be domesticated and will learn some small tricks or so if you train them.
The word mongoose is derived from the Marathi word mangus.
