I really like the focus and the colours, it's lovely! Too bad its feet are missing... I think it would be even better it they weren't cut off.

I agree, no feet to walk on must be horrible for the mongoose.

I love this photo! Ever since I read Kipling's "Rikki Tikki Tavi" I've liked these little creatures. I always thought that it was funny that the plural of mongoose is mongooses!

They could just as easily have been named fox-cat as mongoose (in English anyway!). Strange creatures and I understand they can be tamed

They seem a bit ike ferrets but with scary eyes

R3D777 In reply to TVD-Photography [2011-09-09 16:36:14 +0000 UTC]

Yes, and a similar temperament I think. Nice until annoyed

I would assume so, they can be nasty little things

But useful if you need a snake removed

The-Dude-L-Bug [2011-09-09 16:21:19 +0000 UTC]

I think this is a Yellow Mongoose (Cynictis penicillata)

They're sometimes misID'd and called a Red Meerkat.
