My dad had a mongoose, when he was in vietnam. Had it so when he slept, it would protect him. Only thing, is you can't give it to someone else. Once it bonds with you, it won't for others.

[@mjremy2605]

Yes. I had rescued many mongese in India. Loyal as dogs, ferocious as a honey badger, cuddly as a cat, and curious as a monkey. Great pets.

[@Lion_Heart_33]

Love this!! We humans can learn so much from animals and the natural world. We are actually rearing two banded mongoose at the moment here at our home in Lake Kariba, Zimbabwe. Their names are Thelma and Louise. Two sisters. They are the sweetest, most affectionate and loving creatures you can imagine ❤🐾. We hope they can find a wild pack to join up with.

[@shimlamuthuchozian2478]

Are they married?

[@not2tees]

It's nice to see warthogs getting some down time at Spa Mongoosé, instead of having to share with lions, leopards, hyenas, wild dogs, honey badgers, giant pythons, etc, etc.

Translation of your moniker: religion advice Translation of your comment in Arabic above: Glory be to God, the Great, the One who manages matters and subjugates them to everything that fixes their living conditions until their terms expire. My advice: Lighten up! Not everything in life is about god. Enjoy the animal moment and laugh. Its not about god. Its about a warthog and a mongoose. Can you let go of god for one moment? نصيحتي: يمرحوا! ليس كل شيء في الحياة يدور حول الله. استمتع بلحظة الحيوان والضحك. ليس عن الله. حول الخنزير والنمس. هل يمكنك ترك الله للحظة واحدة؟
