Mongoose And Sheep Have The Perfect Friendship | Oddest Animal Friendships | Love Nature

Bossy little mongoose and sheep have a perfect friendship! Rescued banded mongoose named 'Strepies' lives in a Namibian animal orphanage. The feisty little carnivore is in need of company but with no other mongooses around, she’s teamed up with two rescued sheep - Bokkie and Jellybean. Every day, the odd little ‘flock’ heads out on foraging missions together.
Oddest Animal Friendships series is a heart-warming, fun, and fascinating series showcasing unusual animal friendships from around the world.

You know that animal has some attitude when the cats are jumpy around it 😄

[@heavystarch100]

When a wild animal has better familial bonds than you!!

[@samguapo4573]

You bet it does.

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

😂 for real!

[@philipdenner8504]

Love this type of story. well done that woman.

[@jesterday2222]

'She might speak with meerkat accent but she thinks she is a mongoose'. So sweet 😍It always great to see caring people giving animals the (second) best life they can 🥰Thank you!

[@Robert-tj3qq]

She probably thinks the lace's on your shoes are snake's.

[@evelynbare1975]

It's a Ricky Ticky Tavie! The greatest snake killers! Steppies a sweet heart to her family as pet mongoose are very loyal. They're not a common pet in India, but in rural areas, they are kept to kill cobras.

[@lynnec3372]

Loved Ricki Ticki☺️

[@TheKatarinaGiselle]

Incredible! Both stories are so sweet! The second one had me emotional. Animals are amazing! 💓💗❤

[@sylvia106]

Beautiful.

[@HawthorneHillNaturePreserve]

The Internet and these videos have given us an opportunity to study and observe inter-species relationships like never before. I believe that science should take a close look at these interactions and study inter-species, relationships, and communication.

[@greenman6141]

Other animals, apart from humans, show all the natural ability to get with each other, across species. If they are safe and if they are not short of food, they behave so much better than we do.

[@sarahcamilleri4691]

how sweet they play together

[@deuxforever13]

crazy to think that this cute little mongoose can kill snakes.

[@usmc72409]

I smiled thru the entire video. Love it.

[@TrollBot.]

Thats so cool Meerkats and Mangooses living together!

[@chumbsychavis2641]

Special friendship 😊

[@maevebelleaqua918]

She got pulled into the Cat Distribution System 😂

[@erikm8372]

7:35 not sure the woman got her own pun… a “surrogate family”… a “surrogate _suricate_ family”. 😂 🙈

[@AGDinCA]

@erikm8372 I see what you did there. Clever!!

[@AGDinCA]

Interspecies relationships, particularly animals that differ at the level of family or above, absolutely fascinate me. For example, mongoose and sheep are from completely different orders. Their commonality stops at both being mammals. That's a huge divergence! The mongoose and meerkat are much more closely related - hailing from the same family, at least.

[@lunartears6761]

I saw Indian mongooses in Hawaii and I thought they were awesome.👍

[@TrollBot.]

Its an invasive species there unfortunately

[@island661]

I did too! Super cute!

[@erikm8372]

Yeah, they were released there, and on some Caribbean islands as well, to control insects on farms… stupid people didn’t think about the fact that mongooses eat whatever they want, not just insects! That includes native bird and reptile species, and their eggs and hatchlings! I love mongooses but…stupid people, bad ideas.

[@stark20ful]

You mean native American Mongoose

[@adrianpoesiat]

I saw them on Molokai. The mongoose and Siki deer are invasive species

[@franksmith7247]

Strepies doesn't want to leave because she has more bossing around to do.

[@peach_millky947]

So cute

[@Broken-Flesh]

What an adorable name!

[@marceloromao9347]

Muito fofos esses animaizinhos inteligentes e prestativos ...

I want to learn creating videos like that!

[@leoduhhh9028]

so cute

[@hectorricablanca6081]

Very friendly.

[@Katrene.]

Just wondering if meerkats and mongooses can mate, if they are so closely related... Would that then be a Meergoose or a Moncat?

[@lukegrasso7924]

This video was awesome

[@lovenature]

We love it too!

[@island661]

Sweet!

[@gneeley5393]

[@cartintcartint-pro162]

I like this mongoose

[@Rick-np9vz]

And they bite pretty hard!

[@Beth-zg6gb]

If only the supposed intelligent human species could learn from these other accepting creatures about getting along together…

[@sampaul1212]

2:05 😂

[@NorthWindRising]

❤

[@KatherineUribe-1]

Family is something we make, not necessarily something we're born to.

[@joevines3428]

If mongoose can't join a new group, how do they avoid inbreeding?

[@junechevalier]

They don't

[@jaflischannel]

They don't but i guess they can breed with single female mongeese and get babies with them sometimes

[@ethanl879]

In the wild groups of mongoose fight other groups, while they fight each other they have quickies.

[@aishdesai]

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

[@anti-popfpv4638]

I had a ferret who attacked your shoes till you took them off, It would take them away, come back for your sock and nibble toes till you took them off and took them away. Then she came back for your flesh....can't take that off

[@wdwdHenry9022]

A higher being trapped in a lower body, hmm where have we seen this before

[@Einwetok]

Mellow honey badger vibes

[@judeobi242]

🎄🎄🎄

[@Goyanks28]

No snakes on that farm lol

[@SKKEarth]

Very beautiful and charming animals. Really nice to see. Thank you for sharing.👍👍🎉🎉🎉🎉We get to learn a lot from your channel🙏🙏

[@jacobsabella8003]

They should breed them in the swamp where there is sleeping sickness flys. Those flys lay eggs under trees.

[@AstraliusK]

0:20 reminds me of The Jungle Book

[@rockybariki4039]

[@Embarasin]

My spirit animal i think might havr changed to a mongoose.. cuz people be like’ come’on’goose Mango’ose lol I eat what bugz me and might be workin on Figuring out how to look out for others… and Doing it in a way i eat what bugs others..

[@JohnDoe-od6xk]

[@TrollBot.]

😂😂😂

[@Quantumanandha]

Timon & Pumba

[@erinbickler2237]

I would love to have a little mongoose to catch creepy insects for me! They're like personal bug management:) And sooo cute!

[@theclamhammer4447]

Now I want a f’kn mongoose. Or meerkat, either is fine!

[@Katrene.]

Just for info... "Strepies" is an Afrikaans name meaning "little stripes" (which she obviously has on her back!) and it's pronounced... Strea-pees... LOL

[@SIC647]

Ahh, then it makes more sense. Sounded like "strep-ies" as in the batteria.

[@jonathanwhiteside816]

Is it mongooses or mongeese?

[@kevinh5349]

They shore are some jittery creatures.

[@kurumais]

the mongoose dont inbreed with no outside members

[@justinekessner2645]

Nothing no!!!!!

[@ShamBard1878]

* with happiness! nothing weird

[@Rorschachqp]

Chupacabra?

[@rondel6399]

It is cute and I think it’s ham less

[@englishatheart]

Well someone should give it a ham, then.

[@ShamBard1878]

🤔🤔

[@ShamBard1878]

These mongoose made me wee

[@loki2240]

Mongooses? Don't you mean mongeese?

[@sonitabovel7207]

It can be mongooses or mongeese, both are correct.

[@stellaarcher2062]

But streppes don’t care. 🤷‍♀️

[@ganiwill1]

Please don't eat those sheep

[@jaflischannel]

I think their safe in an animal sanctuary since their with the mongoose

[@jaflischannel]

Am i seeing this right? A percectly edited normal animal video which deserves at least a few 100k views has only got 8k views and been up since 2020, wow.

[@Davieboy-dovbear]

interesting how it walked straight to a veterinarian. These video-clips with _"cute"_ animals are all lies, or staged! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@maestrolodahl8681]

No need for narrating and music please...

[@lordnelsonmc.billionberg9166]

They are hot a f! OMG. Hot!!

[@anonthe-third2367]

excuse me?

[@ianwaldron-jo4nq]

Just shows how intelligent and loving animals are.why is it we killed so many?i think most animals are better than people

[@2nearmenot2hearme]

You better be a vegan saying this. Let me find out your eating a cheeseburger while writing this comment

[@rock-steady-yeti]

Beautiful.
