It's just wonderful how brilliant these critters are. They are so brave. All for one and one for all. Blast

I get the impression this whole video is a made-up story with edited clips taken from different times and places. I don't think that mongoose and its kid were ever part of the same event/scene with that cheetah. I've seen many click-baity animal world youtube channels doing this, but I'm surprised even BBC does this.

Creatures. Not critters

It’s really crazy to think that hyenas are close relatives of these mongooses, and quite distant relatives of dogs.

As a Zimbabwean wildlife conservationist and animal lover who works at Bumi Hills, Lake Kariba, we have the most amazing privilege to look after two young, female banded mongoose we called Thelma and Louise. The love and affection these little angels give is infinitely adorable. We love them so much. We are delighted to report they are rehabilitated and fully integrated with a wild troop. They even have babies of their own. Although they still visit for love, cuddles and a quick snack. ❤️❤️🐾🐾

When they started singing at 2:30...that was my favorite part. Who knew they were so talented?

[@peterjhpark4782]

That fly at the end near entrance to mongoose den acts like security.

Amazing solidarity and group support We as humans should take note

[@user-pt1ji9wg7f]

at 2.55 just before shes about to take off to rejoin the rest of the group, there was something crawling out of the bush right behind her. i thought she forgot a few babies, but it had to be a few rats or something lol

[@dritzzdarkwood4727]

Imagine if we humans had that same sense of solidarity.....

[@estherleftcoast2601]

This is so cool

[@NicoHend]

Looks like the filmmakers are scaring the cheetahs with a drone and other cameras an awful lot to create this POV/storyline.

[@zeitmeister]

Yeah, the sequences are stitched together to make a narrative for the audience for sure. I don't mind that so much as long as they're not seriously misrepresenting the behaviour of the animals. If they're manipulating them with drones on the other hand, I wouldn't like that at all.

[@peanutbutterjellyfish2665]

That’s what I thought. Too many stitched together snippets of film too.

[@stewpidasso3910]

It was a dope ass shot though and made you feel like the mongoose in that moment and barely bothered the cheetah. But I also noticed it's body language and flipping it's tail. They definitely agitated it

[@ATINKERER]

They make wonderful paintbrushes.

[@gobind1699]

I thought the PLURAL of "mongoose" was "mongooses" - Oxford English Dictionary. Come on BBC. Teamwork makes the dream work. M 🦘🏏😎
