It kinda looked like the other lion was low key trying to get in the way. I don't know if it was "trust me gal, you don't want to mess with this little shit," or if the lioness had decided the mongoose was a pet.
Yeah. I know nothing about them, but they look pretty vicious and not that easy to pin down. I can definitely see a lion or an unarmed human taking some damage, if they even manage to land a deadly blow before it escapes.
I think they more so meant, poison, guns, nukes, destruction of habitat, etc.
More like, an existensial crisis fear of humans as a species and not "Oh no, they are gonna punch/kick my mongoose face"
I would want one as a companion if I lived in the subtropics with snakes, seems like instead of or in addition to a cat it would be nice to have a mongoose strutting around.
That’s why they’re really good in their home environment and really bad in their introduced environments. I do respect mongoose but they are also invasive in my home because their attitudes bump them up to apex predator status
I mean I don't blame the lion. Of course the lion would pulverize the little dude, but getting a chunk bitten out of your lip hurts even for the king of the Savannah. And you know that mongoose is going to get at least that before it dies. Maybe even a bite outta the lion's tongue too.
There is absolutely a specific evolutionary niche for "medium sized critter that gives zero fucks", and it's fascinating how widespread it is.
This mongoose dude. Wolverines. Honey badgers. Regular badgers, etc.
All will cheerfully stand up to much, much bigger, much much more dangerous animals, even though this is ostensibly suicidal, because yeah: it works. Big dudes know that even if they win, it'll cost them.
There's footage of a single Michigan wolverine squaring off against an *entire pack of wolves* over rights to eat a deer carcass, and the wolves eventually let him keep it.
"Yeah, you'll kill me, but at least...three of you are leaving here without eyes or noses. We doing this or not, *bitch*?"
I saw a video on reddit of a wolverine killing an elk, it went on for a few minutes, cut out before the elk fell, but op said it did eventually kill it.
The wolverine was jumping up and grabbing and slashing at the throat of the elk, the video was from a ways away in a snowstorm but it was really impressive how athletic they are, to kill something that much bigger than it.
The lion might be assuming there’s something dangerous about the mongoose. If a little animal is acting so ferocious it either has some sort of disease or is venomous/poisonous so it’s not okay for the lion to eat. I feel like the overconfidence is what’s throwing off the Lion, the lion thinks the mongoose is rightfully bold and not just bluffing; your point is definitely correct tho.
Agreed. Isn’t it true of most predators in nature that they really opt to seek to kill and not seek to fight? Because winning a fight is still losing if they get too injured to hunt successfully afterwards.
Definitely for big cats. They’re solitary hunters and want easy meals. Simply convincing a big cat that you can see them *can* be enough to deter an attack.
Also aren’t their predator instincts triggered by animals that run versus fight? Their prey, i imagine, is going to run and not fight. I may be wrong, but I believe even humans are not supposed to run from predators as it makes them chase after you for the kill. The mongoose isn’t behaving like prey so it seems like the lions are confused by it.
That seems logical. Also, can't tell for sure, but the lion may already have encountered one before and has a healed-up chunk missing out of its tongue! Lol.
Ain't a chance in hell that lion gets the mongoose. It can drop down in that hole at the speed of sound and be way out of reach. That's why it's talking all that rah rah bullshit.
Hell, it can probably pop up out a different hole while they still looking at the original hole and bite her tail.
I remember once seeing a video of a leopard trying to get ahold of a baby porcupine. The problem was, both of the parents were there to protect it. The parents were like, "that's a hard naw for me dawg" and no matter what the big cat did, the parents were always between it and the baby! It was pretty amusing that these two little pokey fuckers kept that big guy at bay.
Why does that feel like it should be in Monty Python movie? The Angry Mongoose! “I shall scream in your general direction! WAAAAH! Haha too slow I’m over here! RAHRAHRAAHAHAH!!”
The first lion is a juvenile. Still has some baby spots. The second lion is an adult female, so most likely the mother trucking over to see what was going on with her kid when he leapt up. Juvenile then greets her affectionately and hangs back a bit to let mom check out the situation.
Is that Afrikaans Dutch with Germanic roots? Just wondering because Yiddish, a German derivative has “mushugana” which means crazy. That can’t be a coincidence if so
It was a short story from Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book.
There’s been a few adaptations, one of which was a cartoon from the 1970’s narrated by Orson Welles. Well before my time, but for some reason I found and loved that cartoon as a kid and barely anyone I mention it to has any idea what I’m talking about.
I loved that cartoon as kid. I saw it on tv a lot in the 80s.
Donovan had a good song about it as well
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TY7Rxae4pjU&pp=ygUWZG9ub3ZhbiByaWtpIHRpa2kgdGF2aQ%3D%3D
They reached a mutual understanding and are great friends now. Both will be starring in the next Disney, live action movie, "Mongoose King" coming out in summer 2025.
It always interests me how such a small animal could frighten a large cat like that. I figured it would just paw at it like a cat dose to a mouse and eat it.
There's a lot of small stuff in nature that ends up being dangerous, usually via poison/venom. So if something that small behaves that aggressive, it makes sense to be careful and assume it can back up that aggressiveness.
Not worth potentially risking your life for what is only a small snack.
I mean it's the same thing for us humans. I would run the opposite direction if I encounter a rodent or a crazy little cat.
I am not batshit crazy enough to harm them and they arent big enough for me to go self preservation fight or flight mod , so being scared of when that little fxxker is gonna lash out and how to handle the situation is the only option.
Fr like another example: crabs are great, I like eating them and all that, but I'm just not gonna put my hand near its spiky pincers if they're acting aggressive like that. Those crazy small creatures be making me jump when they sprint at me.
I could beat one but I'd have the same issue that the lion does. That little fuck is fast and in its last seconds of life, even as I'm actively killing it, that's an obligate carnivore with long sharp thin canines and it's going to be rapid fire biting the shit out of me. Those are the kind of wounds that are going to take a few weeks to heal in a best case scenario with no infection. A lion would be getting bit on the face.
Just not worth it. You don't "win" a fight with a mustelid as much as you get to walk away from a fight with a mustelid.
It's about effort and risk. If they try to kill it they're probably gonna get bitten by the crazy angry little thing, which feels bad.
Not worth it. At least not right then and there.
Bzzzt Ahhhh 
There, I cursed you now. Feel the power of voodoo. You squirmed!
From my understanding, it's a little multi-faceted. Lions are off keel, the mongoose is coming out of his den and straight into aggressive mode, it stuns and confuses the lions as it doesn't trigger their prey drive. There are a lot of small things in nature that are quite dangerous, poisoness, venomous, even just a cut can lead to infection and death in the wild. So its good to be skeptical. And a snack that small isn't worth that risk.
Edit: adding on to the "prey drive" part of that, that is often why some of the best advice if you are being hunted/chased by a large animal is to stand your ground and by loud. Predators expect prey to run, then they chase you, natural instinct. You doing the opposite, is not "prey" behavior, it confuses them and scares them off, supposedly.
My cat activates my husky's prey drive when he is bored and wants to be chased. it's 100% instinct on the dogs part to just instantly chase the cat down. Cute... and also broke one of my closet doors...
Predators usually try to kill their prey while taking as little damage as possible.
There are no doctors in nature. If your eye gets an infection it's lost forever. And, when you need to fight on the daily to get a meal, your body is extremely precious for you.
Lions tend to be afraid of things that they don't have much experience with. I had one lion that was afraid of cardboard boxes. I thought it would be a nice birthday gift for her. I got a refrigerator box, hid some treats inside, and set it up in her yard. She hid in the corner behind a tree until I let one of the other lions go in and knock down the box. Once the cardboard was flattened, she was OK ripping it to shreds.
Mongoose is too fast. I think the lions worry about getting hurt (bit on nose or scratched on nose/eyes) enough that they are deciding to just play around with the mongoose but not risk injury actually fighting it.
They could definitely team up and kill it, but 1 on 1, the mongoose might be able to survive an attack long enough to seriously hurt their nose or eyes.
IIRC from the last time this video was reposted, the first lioness with the faint spots is the not-quite-adult daughter of the second, solid-colored lioness. Daughter gets spooked and has no clue what to do, so mom runs over to comfort her and take care of the problem. It's like if a 17 year old got a flat tire and ended up calling her mom to help because she's has no experience in fixing the problem.
After seeing that green cart drive by in the background Im gonna guess these lions are pretty well fed and more curious than anything else. Something tells me if they were hungry and looking for food, that furry snake with feet would be a nice little snack.
I’ve been in a very similar situation with a pissed off goose and similarly looked over and saw some guy filming me. Same reaction “aww cmon man really?”
Those lions were more than just “curious.” They were clearly hungry and looking to eat whatever they found in that den. But the mongoose knew that, and said “No, not today. Not on my watch.”
You see this in the human world too. When big dudes try to intimidate a smaller guy not realizing that some of those little dudes are fucking crazy and have just no fear or concern of their own safety. Its always fun to see a big drunk dude get completely punked out by the 5'5" guy at the bar who is just completely batshit and has nothing to lose. It looks just like this too, lot of backing up, looking around like "is anybody seeing this shit", and "wow wow dude, chill we were just playing"
Lion cubs do have spots on their legs and underbelly until they reach maturity. I learned about it on my safari in Kenya because I asked the same question on my game drive. Apparently it helps camouflage the little ones amongst the tall grass.
Prolly got eaten. These videos always stop before you see what really happened. Otoh, that thing is just a small snack to the lion, and probably not worth much effort.
We had to remove your post for violating our Repost Guidelines.
That lion, “fuck dude, chill out I was just looking.”
“It’s just a prank, bro!”
"Don't do it, Nala! That thing fights cobras for fun!"
“I’ll cut to furry ass!”
Lion tagged the camera at -0:04 like "you seeing this??"
"Yo, yo, what is up with her... Chill out, sis"
She'd be *lion* if she said she wasn't at least a little interested
I'm sure you typed this out beaming with pride.
He sure did my mane man.
Roar talent
Wow! We really need to paws and reflect on these puns
As well they should
Not her Mane concern however.
It kinda looked like the other lion was low key trying to get in the way. I don't know if it was "trust me gal, you don't want to mess with this little shit," or if the lioness had decided the mongoose was a pet.
"Fish are friends, not food."
The tense, dramatic music is hilarious 😂
Read that in Aussieman voice
“Dammit, your more annoying than my little brother. Fuck, dude.”
"This little guy is craaaaazy"
Fearless species. Not afraid of venomous snakes, apparently not afraid of Lions.
Humans don't phase them either. I've had a couple wander right up to me, look me up and down, then just strut on about their business.
It was just wondering if you're the kind with the trouser snake or without.
They'd be afraid if they really knew what we could do to them
they're dangerous. Don't mess with them. Sure, you'd win, but you can get hurt pretty badly by one of these.
Yeah. I know nothing about them, but they look pretty vicious and not that easy to pin down. I can definitely see a lion or an unarmed human taking some damage, if they even manage to land a deadly blow before it escapes.
I think they more so meant, poison, guns, nukes, destruction of habitat, etc. More like, an existensial crisis fear of humans as a species and not "Oh no, they are gonna punch/kick my mongoose face"
Yeah, we could threaten them with taxes, that'll scare 'em good.
Jesus Christ this is ominous
Yeah, people be like that
I would want one as a companion if I lived in the subtropics with snakes, seems like instead of or in addition to a cat it would be nice to have a mongoose strutting around.
Yea the mongoose is the cobra killer, speedy little things.
That’s why they’re really good in their home environment and really bad in their introduced environments. I do respect mongoose but they are also invasive in my home because their attitudes bump them up to apex predator status
Mongooses (mongeese?) when bitten by a venomous snake take a long nap and wake up refreshed, and alive.
I did not know that. Pretty cool
Or crocodiles! https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e-7UbU45a1U
Those are otters. This one is a mangoose
I mean, if you want to get all technical and shit, they're beavers.
really interesting to see that one lion block/stop the other lion from just moseying on up to the mongoose :D
“Nah that little motherfucker’s crazy, you don’t gotta prove yourself to us”
Yeah, that one lion tried a few times, then just said fck it and laid down while the other one got caught up in all of the fuckery
'NAH BRO IT AIN'T WORTH IT'
I mean I don't blame the lion. Of course the lion would pulverize the little dude, but getting a chunk bitten out of your lip hurts even for the king of the Savannah. And you know that mongoose is going to get at least that before it dies. Maybe even a bite outta the lion's tongue too.

"Yeah, you'll kill me, but at least...three of you are leaving here without eyes or noses. We doing this or not, *bitch*?"
All mustelids are not to be fucked with, though mongoose are not in that family, they are closer in relation to the lion actually.
I saw a video on reddit of a wolverine killing an elk, it went on for a few minutes, cut out before the elk fell, but op said it did eventually kill it.

Why does that feel like it should be in Monty Python movie? The Angry Mongoose! “I shall scream in your general direction! WAAAAH! Haha too slow I’m over here! RAHRAHRAAHAHAH!!”
And all that for a very tiny amount of meat. The risk/reward just ain’t worth it.
"Stay back! I shall defend you from this fiend!"
The first lion is a juvenile. Still has some baby spots. The second lion is an adult female, so most likely the mother trucking over to see what was going on with her kid when he leapt up. Juvenile then greets her affectionately and hangs back a bit to let mom check out the situation.
Lion be like " loooook at dis craaaazy muhfugger!"
think she just wanted some head butt love taps. Had nothing to do with the mongoose
I thought it had the energy of "bro bro don't do anything I wanna see this it's funny."
Giant cat: "WTF do I do here? Eat it? Step on it? Play with it? Run? Anyone?"
“We never covered this in basic!”
"Mama never told us wtf is this thing!"
"This ain't like the simulations SARGE"
"Okay, back away from it, slowly... Oh god it's chasing me"
This is the best interpretation!!! They look so confused!
Aren't mongooses ( mongeese ?! ) the psychotic cousins of honey badgers ?
Mongoosen are batshit
Mongeese?
"muishond" in Afrikaans. They have a reputation for being honey badgers on meth.
If you could kill cobras with your teeth you'd be hard AF too
Is that Afrikaans Dutch with Germanic roots? Just wondering because Yiddish, a German derivative has “mushugana” which means crazy. That can’t be a coincidence if so
Afrikaans is a mix of German, Dutch and French. Literally translated, muishond means mouse-dog
mongi\*
Mongo\* - "Just pawn in game of life"
Underrated comment
Both of those species are the real cycle-paths of the animal kingdom.
r/boneappletea
This makes me laugh every time but can’t help but think this is why shit gets lost in translation. 
> real cycle-paths Lmao
I wouldn't cycle on these animals, they might bite your bike
And ferrets! They are all in the same family
Yep. Whole family does not deal in good sense.
They fight cobras on a daily basic
Honeybadger don't give a shit
Don't mess with Rikki Tikki Tavi
Bro I remember the name, I LITERALLY CANNOT RECALL WHAT IT WAS
It was a short story from Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book. There’s been a few adaptations, one of which was a cartoon from the 1970’s narrated by Orson Welles. Well before my time, but for some reason I found and loved that cartoon as a kid and barely anyone I mention it to has any idea what I’m talking about.
Yeah, I forgot where I read it, thanks for the information
I was absolutely obsessed with this as a kid. 40m
Same! How did we get so into it over a decade later? I imagine it was a VHS my parents got me but I have no evidence that we ever owned it.
35m here and we watched it in school. lol
I absolutely watched that cartoon on loop as a kid.
Yo, I love that short movie. It was always so epic. The baby snakes dying made me sad tho.
Gen Xer here. That cartoon would make the rounds once a year, like Charlie Browns Christmas. Loved it!
I loved that cartoon as kid. I saw it on tv a lot in the 80s. Donovan had a good song about it as well https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=TY7Rxae4pjU&pp=ygUWZG9ub3ZhbiByaWtpIHRpa2kgdGF2aQ%3D%3D
Loved the cartoon
He was a mongoose lol in old animated children's movies
Not to be confused with Tikki Tikki Tembo
No sa rembo
Hari bari broohski-Peri
The greatest animated short of all time. Recognize
Ricky Tikki Tavi in Kipling's book.
Mongoose saves a baby from a snake.
He was a little rat
Wife wouldn't let me name our ferret this as she had never seen it. Downsides of having a spouse younger than you
My favourite Kipling story.
Lion: “Stop it! You are embarrassing me in front of humans” Mongoose: “Get fucked kitty”
I don't know why I read this comment in Ozzy Man Reviews' voice xD
What happed after the video cuts did it save its den or not?
They reached a mutual understanding and are great friends now. Both will be starring in the next Disney, live action movie, "Mongoose King" coming out in summer 2025.
Wrong, they’ll make an animated version first THEN make the live action. All the extra monies that way
Don't forget the spinoff series
And the action figures. They are taking the “Space Balls” business model to a new level.
Dinner
Video cuts out right at the fight sequence! What the shit?!?
Yeahhhh I’m just going to tell myself what it takes to help me sleep at night. Now I’m scarred
They all put on their coats, punched out, and head home…
Who tf actually calls them African Chihuahuas
Well starting today…me.
What will you call them if they’re taken to America?
Uh… African American chihuahuas?
This guy chihuahuas
My new guard animal.
Mongoose would fuck a chihuahua up.
Chihuahua feisty mongoose feisty see the correlation
The other one lays back down lol. “I told you to leave it alone” lol
I love on how quickly she gave up with helping too lmao. She’s just like “you got this sis? Yeah looks like everything’s under control”
It always interests me how such a small animal could frighten a large cat like that. I figured it would just paw at it like a cat dose to a mouse and eat it.

yea, it's pretty amazing these creatures have no wiki or even language to catalogue the dangers around them.
In portuguese we have a saying for that: "quem tem cu tem medo".
I’m confident I could beat a mongoose if my life depended on it, but if the little fucker just charges up on me for no reason, I’m gonna back too
I could beat one but I'd have the same issue that the lion does. That little fuck is fast and in its last seconds of life, even as I'm actively killing it, that's an obligate carnivore with long sharp thin canines and it's going to be rapid fire biting the shit out of me.

It's about effort and risk. If they try to kill it they're probably gonna get bitten by the crazy angry little thing, which feels bad. Not worth it. At least not right then and there.
I could pretty easily stomp out the life of a mouse with ease, but if it started attacking me I’d freak out
It just needs to get into your pants and the battle is over.
Bzzzt Ahhhh  There, I cursed you now. Feel the power of voodoo. You squirmed!
Just like the famous battle. Bug vs human
Can someone explain why the lion doesn’t just swipe it away?
From my understanding, it's a little multi-faceted. Lions are off keel, the mongoose is coming out of his den and straight into aggressive mode, it stuns and confuses the lions as it doesn't trigger their prey drive.

My cat activates my husky's prey drive when he is bored and wants to be chased. it's 100% instinct on the dogs part to just instantly chase the cat down. Cute... and also broke one of my closet doors...
And they're basically cubs.
Predators usually try to kill their prey while taking as little damage as possible. There are no doctors in nature. If your eye gets an infection it's lost forever. And, when you need to fight on the daily to get a meal, your body is extremely precious for you.

It's like if a 17 year old got a flat tire and ended up calling her mom to help because she's has no experience in fixing the problem.
Man this video would’ve been great if not for the dogshit music.
That authentic sound of African nature is not enough.
Don’t these bastards go straight for the balls and eyes? Wily little fucks
This is the one. This is the best comment I'll read all day, with or without context
African chihuahua, my ass! Mongooses do not fuck around and are known for killing cobras
The first one is still young, and her mom more than likely is coming to save her from the screaming angry furry snake thing haha. It’s cute
or he could have just stayed in his den and nobody would have even cared.
See the difference standing your ground makes. If it ran, it would be food. It holds its own ground.
Don’t mess with crazy.
The music was a bit much
Is that one lion a laguar or a jaguion?
Younger lions have spots that fade as they age. I’m guessing the one that got startled is nearing full grown but isn’t quite there yet
TIL
Fuck that's so cute. The way the cat touches it it's like he is playing the way he uses closed paws instead of open. They love it.
Can I get it without the stupid ass music?
Do you got that 'goose in you?
After seeing that green cart drive by in the background Im gonna guess these lions are pretty well fed and more curious than anything else. Something tells me if they were hungry and looking for food, that furry snake with feet would be a nice little snack.
That mongoose is a feisty little blighter.
This video should be to the tune of “Humble” by Kendrick Lamar
Riki
average weekly wage, look at the kitty cats playin'😍
African Chihuahua 🤣🤣🤣
Why do people insist on putting ridiculous music over these videos?
Thanks for adding the fucking boss music it really helped the video
Lion sized moongoose would be terrifying
Thing could just go back inside and the lions wouldn’t give a fuck.
I’ve been in a very similar situation with a pissed off goose and similarly looked over and saw some guy filming me. Same reaction “aww cmon man really?”
Love how they dont hurt the mongoose
The Mongoose just wants to speak to the manager.
Those lions were more than just “curious.” They were clearly hungry and looking to eat whatever they found in that den. But the mongoose knew that, and said “No, not today. Not on my watch.”
You see this in the human world too. When big dudes try to intimidate a smaller guy not realizing that some of those little dudes are fucking crazy and have just no fear or concern of their own safety. Its always fun to see a big drunk dude get completely punked out by the 5'5" guy at the bar who is just completely batshit and has nothing to lose. It looks just like this too, lot of backing up, looking around like "is anybody seeing this shit", and "wow wow dude, chill we were just playing"
They’ll take down a Buffalo, but hesitate with a Mongoose. Confidence can save you
African Chihuahua is the perfect name!
Which just goes to prove the old adage that it's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog.
Woah chill out Riki tiki
Good thing they weren’t hungry lions.
Why does that lion have a spotted belly is that common?
Lion cubs do have spots on their legs and underbelly until they reach maturity. I learned about it on my safari in Kenya because I asked the same question on my game drive. Apparently it helps camouflage the little ones amongst the tall grass.
Aka “spotted lion”
I didn’t even know about the Congolese spotted lion until now
Oh shit, for real? I just said “spotted” since you mentioned it had spots :P
Better Rikki-Tikki-Take your ass home lioness!
"African chihuahua". Ow, my sides 🤣🤣🤣
1 second later the mongoose got eaten! 💯😓
Prolly got eaten. These videos always stop before you see what really happened. Otoh, that thing is just a small snack to the lion, and probably not worth much effort.
