The Newest, Cutest Baby Animals from the World's Zoos & Aquariums
Baby mongooses were out exploring yesterday at Denmark's Odense Zoo. A curious and social species, the Common Dwarf Mongoose can live to 20 years in captivity. Celebrated in ancient Egypt for their fearlessness, mongooses were sometimes mummified and buried in Egyptian tombs to serve as guardians.
What a little cuties!
It’s Rikki Tikki Tavi!
MonGoslings!
You forgot to mention (though “esoterica” alludes to it) that in India, they were sometimes kept to defend against cobras, being one of the few critters both brave and fast enough to fight them.
it’s so cute!!!!!!!!!!!
They may be celebrated by the Egyptians, but the Hawaiians hate them! They’re everywhere there and they’re killing the ground bird population. Cute little things though
