Mongooses are small carnivorous mammals that belong to the family Herpestidae. They are native to Africa and Asia, and there are about 34 different species of mongoose.
Mongooses are well-known for their ability to kill venomous snakes, including cobras. They have a special resistance to snake venom and are able to dodge and bite the snake's head to kill it.
Mongooses are very social animals that live in groups called "packs" or "bands". They communicate with each other using a range of vocalizations and scent markings.
Some species of mongoose, such as the dwarf mongoose, are cooperative breeders. This means that one dominant female in the pack breeds with multiple males, and the entire pack helps to raise the young.
Mongooses are sometimes kept as pets, but they can be difficult to care for properly. They have high energy levels and require a lot of space to run and play, as well as a varied diet of insects and other small prey.
