Search Results - Mongoose

Type in a word or phrase to search, you can also type in Article ID's separated by commas:

Mongooses (Herpestidae) are a family of about 30 species of small carnivorans from southern Eurasia and mainland Africa. Four additional species from Madagascar in the subfamily Galidiinae, which were previously classified in this family, are also frequently referred to as "mongooses". Genetic evidence indicates that they are more closely related to other Madagascar carnivorans in the family Eupleridae, which is the closest living sister group to mongooses.

The word mongoose is derived from the Marathi name mangus (pronounced as "mongoose"), perhaps ultimately from Dravidian (cf. Telugu mungeesa, Kannada mungisi). The form of the English name (since 1698) was altered to its -goose ending by folk-etymology. It has no etymological connection with the word goose. The plural form is mongooses,[2] or, rarely, mongeese.[3] It may also be spelled mungoose.[4]

Mongooses live in southern Asia, Africa, and southern Europe, as well as some Caribbean and Hawaiian islands, where they are introduced species. There are more than thirty species, ranging from one to four feet in length. Some species of mongoose lead predominantly solitary lives, seeking out food only for themselves, while others travel in groups, sharing food among the members of the group. Mongooses mostly feed on insects, crabs, earthworms, lizards, snakes, chickens, and rodents. However, they also eat eggs and carrion. Some species, such as the Indian Mongoose, are popularly used to fight and kill venomous snakes, including cobras. They are capable of doing this because of their agility and cunning, and their thick coat, but typically avoid the cobra and have no particular affinity for consuming its meat.[5] Mongoose range in size from the squirrel-sized Common Dwarf Mongoose, at 280&_160;g (9.9&_160;oz), to the cat-sized White-tailed Mongoose, at 4&_160;kg (8.8&_160;lb).

Some species of mongoose are quite intelligent and can be taught simple tricks, which has led to a number of them being domesticated, often kept as pets to control vermin. However, they can be more destructive than desired when imported into the West Indies to kill rats and snakes, they destroyed most of the small, ground-based fauna. For this reason, it is illegal to import most species of mongoose into the United States,[6] Australia, and other countries. Mongooses were introduced to Hawaii in 1883, and have had a significant effect on native species.[7]
