#Mongoose

Video by @yswildlifephotography Why did the mongoose come to our table to sneeze? Is it because he knew I’m a veterinarian and maybe I’ll prescribe a cold medicine? Or maybe to ask for a Kleenex? I’m curious to read your answers… This banded mongoose is just one of the many animals that came to visit us at the table while having lunch at @elewanacollection Sand River Camp. ______________________ If you’d like to join us on an African safari, 2023 calendars or inquire regarding prints, email us at [email protected] or click on the link in my profile. —————————————- . . . . . . . . #funnyanimals #mongoose #masaimara #wildlifephotography #wildlife #reels #reelsinstagram #reelsvideo #joysafaribay #earthofficial #safari #wildlife_perfection #WildlifePlanet #africanamazing #featured_wildlife #wildlifeaddicts #naturegeography #earthcapture #wildlifeonearth #exclusive_wildlife #natureonly #african_portraits #wildgeography #bbcearth #yourshotphotographer #discoverwildlfe #africanimals #Ourplanetdaily #animalonplanet #wildlifeowners

A great encounter and battle. A cobra snake meets a mongoose. The baby mongoose is acting so wildly that the cobra snake is scared. Mongooses are very aggressive and excellent fighters. The biggest enemies of snakes are these mongoose and honey badgers. #cobrasnake #mongoose #snake #naturegeography #wildlife

Wholesome meerkat content ❤️   These highly social animals live in close-knit groups and can recognise each other by their calls, just like humans recognise their family’s and friend’s voices!   #EarthCapture by @jackswynnerton . . . . #Meerkat #Mongoose #CarnivorousMammals

Mongooses are small, fast mammals known for their bravery—they can fight and kill venomous snakes like cobras. They have strong immunity to certain snake venoms, which helps them survive bites. Mongooses are very agile and quick, using speed and sharp reflexes to dodge attacks. #mongoose #nature 📷 Goodluck

The Fearless Mongoose Cleaning a Warthog 🐗 Across Africa’s savanna... a fearless mongoose climbs onto a warthog, feeding on ticks hidden deep within its skin. A rare wildlife moment where survival briefly connects two very different animals. #Mongoose #Warthog #Wildlife #Nature #BBCearth #WildlifeDocumentary #AnimalFacts #AfricanWildlife #Safari #WildAnimals #NatureLovers #EarthCapture #WildlifeVideo #NatureIsAmazing #animalbehavior

Garfield, our resident Yellow Mongoose officially has a girlfriend 💕 (she doesn’t have a name yet). We don’t actually see many yellow mongoose out in the bush but clearly they exist here. One family showed up about a year ago at our staff camp about 1.5km away from my place. They have been breeding a lot and Garfield eventually spread over to my place. I am so glad he found a lady and with certainty there will soon be a few mini Garfield’s 🤩 The yellow mongoose (Cynictis penicillata) appears to be a synanthropic species in parts of southern Africa, often seen thriving around villages, roadside restaurants, and peri-urban areas—much more frequently than in untouched wildlife habitats. Similar to how urban foxes in Europe or raccoons in North America adapt to city life, the yellow mongoose seems to benefit from the shelter, food scraps, and reduced predator presence found near human settlements. Just to be clear, I don’t support wildlife feeding in general, especially by tourists—it can cause serious problems for the animals. But since this is my permanent home, not a temporary visit, and the mongooses have chosen to settle here like they might in any village, I’m able to offer Garfield and his family a safe, stable life alongside me without creating dependency or harm. #wildlife #africa #nature #animals #mongoose

Fierce Mongoose Battles Large Serpent On Cracked Earth 🌍 Warm hues cover the parched landscape where a small hunter attacks a long reptile. The mammal grabs the tail end to provoke a reaction from the scaled foe. Serpent twists its body into a tight spiral to shield itself from bites. Clouds of dirt puff up whenever the agile creature leaps away from danger. Constant movement keeps the predator safe from the venomous fangs nearby. Jaws lock onto the midsection to limit the sliding motion of the prey. Desperate writhing fails to dislodge the tenacious animal holding on tight. This sequence highlights the fearless nature required to hunt such risky meals. Sunlight glints off the fur as the fight continues without any pause shown. Nature demonstrates why this small species is feared by snakes everywhere. #Mongoose #SnakeFight #FacebookReels #Viral #Wildlife
