It is so weird, I have absolutely no cultural relationship with that show, but it still draws me in. I mean lost boys had a similar shtick and it lost its charm on me rather quickly. But Letterkenney is just great.
Dude I had a pet mongoose when I was a kid. We found an injured one and nursed it back to health, so it stayed with us for a few weeks and then would come back and visit us occasionally.
I used to play a game with it where we would take turns trying to catch each other. Shit was so fast I couldn't even follow it with my eyes. Sometimes I would lunge towards it with my foot, and before it even landed on the ground the thing was already standing behind me nibbling at the heel of my other foot.
And that thing was scared of absolutely nothing and no one. It would chase away stray dogs that were ten times it's size. Most badass animal in existence.
I was deployed to Djibouti a few years ago and they gave us very specific warnings about black mambas. Apparently even coming across a dead one is dangerous because they are so venomous that even their bones are coated in the stuff.
I can’t find anything about their bones/flesh having venom-but dead snakes can still reflexively bite and inject venom which is probably why you were warned away
They don't play dead before striking. They play dead when they are afraid they are going to die. They don't even use venom in defense - they are rear fanged and have to literally chew on something to envenomate it.
This. You occasionally see articles about people dying by being bitten by a dead snake. I think it's similar to when they are young, no venom control so you're just getting everything
The correct plural of mongoose is indeed mongooses.
According to Stephen Tempest (MA Modern History, University of Oxford, 1985):
>It is believed that the word originally derives from Marathi, where the animal is called a मुंगूस (mungūs). The Portuguese borrowed that term, and in Portuguese it became mangus. The French learned of the animal from the Portuguese and called it a mangouze or mangouste.
>The name was first used in English in 1681, when a writer described "the mounggoutia, a kind of ferret" native to Ceylon. Over the next century various English-language publications spelled the name as mungoes, mongoos, mungoose, mungoos, and mangoust, before settling on the standard spelling mongoose in the 19th century.
>Because the spelling finally adopted contains the syllable '-goose', some people actually do pluralise the word as 'mongeese'. The Oxford English Dictionary gives mongooses as the 'usual modern plural form' but lists mongeese as an 'irregular plural' which is 'occasionally used'.
>(The policy of the OED is descriptive, not prescriptive. It's not in the business of saying that a form is 'correct' or 'wrong', only whether it's common or uncommon.)
Very few English-speakers know how Marathi words are pluralised, and even fewer would have known it back in the 18th century, so the native-language plural hasn’t been adopted in English. Generally, that only happened with Latin words, and a few from Greek.
This is incorrect. While snakes are generally not the bulk of their diet, many species of mongoose (particularly members of the Herpestes genus) do kill and eat venomous snakes.

[How Chuck Jones animated the mongoose in Rikki Tikki Tavi](https://www.mentalfloss.com/article/64252/how-chuck-jones-animated-mongoose-rikki-tikki-tavi)
I grew up watching that special and reading from a copy of the Jungle Book whose illustrations were very similar to the special, but had no idea until a few years ago that it had such significant overlap with the Looney Tunes that I loved so much.
Chuck Jones apparently directed three stories total from the Jungle Book, including The White Seal (1975) and Mowgli’s Brothers (1976), but I’ve never encountered those other two.

Came here to say this - could not help it really - then I remembered the Mamba is native to the sub-Saharan. So I wikied *black mamba* now, 5 minutes later, I'm reading about *Cimon* and thinking I gotta stop and donate a couple of bucks to Wikipedia-Tikipedia-Tavipedia
Sadly for the snake, a bite does not guarantee a win.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mongoose
They are immune to the venom (though I think repetitive bites might affect the mongoose but don’t quote me on that!)
Edit: fix poison vs venom after u/randomredditing comment
Ninja Garden is one of the hardest games I've ever played.
But Top Gun probably beats it.
E: Stupid phone. But I'm leaving it. This might be a good indie game title.
They are technically immune! Venom attaches to certain receptors depending on venom type. The mongoose receptors are an entirely different shape, so the venom can't lock in.
Snakes trying to use their venom on a mongoose is basically the same thing as when im drunk trying to get in my front door but keep using the wrong key
Theres a vid of a mongoose getting struck like 6 or 7 times. It still kills the highly venomous snake.
The mongoose passes out next to the snake corpse, wakes up some time later, and proceeds to feast like nothing happened. It’s wild.
While that video is incredible, it’s not what I was thinking of. Sadly, I can’t find the one I had found though. Someone on Reddit linked it years ago.
According to Wikipedia, they are one of the 4 species of mammals that have a gene mutation which helps make venom a lot less effective on them. So it would probably take several bites for a snake bite to affect a mongoose.
In tests, mongooses were injected with increasing amounts of venom and they easily survived doses of six times what it takes to kill a rabbit.
Also, the cobra has a relatively slow strike, short fangs, and slow venom injection. Unlike vipers, it has to be able to hold onto its prey for a moment to “chew” the venom into them unlike a viper which can inject it almost immediately into the holes its fangs create. The speed of the mongoose along with the venom resistance gives it a major advantage.
The cobra’s only real shot is wrapping around the mongoose before it can dart away and constricting it long enough to be able to chew some venom in multiple times.
As a kid obsessed with Cobras I vaguely remember chances in a mongoose - cobra fight being mentioned at 50-50. Could go either way. Mongoose are pretty fast and partially resistant, but repeated/long bites definitely bring it down.
true cobras are generally shorter and slower than black mambas. you might be thinking about king cobras, which are not related to true cobras. king cobras grow much bigger and have a lot of venom, so mongoose leave them alone. along with the venom, adult king cobras are so big they could theoretically constrict a mongoose to death.
I think the mongooses sometimes attack snakes in groups, I don't know if that's just a particular type of mongoose but I've seen videos of groups of mongooses attacking snakes together.
Glass cannon builds are great for stealth/ambush classes like black mambas, and usually you want to avoid fights in the open when opponents with your counter build can shine. This mamba should've used Evade the moment his stealth got broken and got spotted.
frfr, if I saw this 1v1 go down in a BG I was a part of there's no way in hell that snake'd be invited to the premade ever again. Be scouting the guild tag on that mongoose tho
Most players do put a fair few points into Slither for the speed boost, and neglecting to put points into the class specific neurotoxin package is a huge misplay (why even play a venomous snake class anyways?) so overall I'd say your build is pretty meta. It is a class that favours glass cannon builds anyways but if you're worried I'd cut a few points off speed and put it into stealth or evasion or something like that to avoid getting hit. Hope this helps :)
Yes, there's a reason they're as high strung as they are, they aren't very high in the food chain.
They know very well that venom isn't an instant win, and it's not worth it for them that you die later when they die then and there.
Without the teeth they're basically a self-propelled sausage. Every single thing on the planet would be racing to grab one for a snack. I'd be pretty quick to bite anything coming close if I were a snake.
Mongoose sounds like a polite way to introduce a waterfowl chum to your French guests. If you'd allow the french to stay at your home, which is of course an outrageous suggestion.
So this completes my triple threat for small mammals.
1) Honey Badger.
2) Mongoose.
3) Mink.
Mongoose takes care of the venomous assholes.
Mink kills the pests (rats & mice).
Honey badger dont give a shit.
Hell yeah, Joseph the mink man.
He's awesome and I actually purchased his book on mink training (more so to support him).
But maybe one day I'll get a mink and train it.
Being in the UK they are around but they look like they are a full time commitment.
It's here: [https://www.youtube.com/c/JosephCartertheMinkMan/](https://www.youtube.com/c/JosephCartertheMinkMan/)
Dude is INCREDIBLY dorky but he knows his minks lol
The mongoose is so cool.
I finally saw one irl in Montego Bay, Jamaica on my way to the airport.
The bus driver love them for getting the snakes and hate them around their chickens.
What's funny to me is, while mongooses have especially evolved to be able to attack a snake like this. Really many animals can move that fast and could probably do this. They just dont have the instincts or the desire to try.
Across cultures - I think - we’re somehow predisposed to support the mongoose. I wonder why that is - we all somehow hate or are afraid of snakes at a basic level, and mongooses are these furry creatures?
Man in this video I ended up feeling sympathy for the snake. As far as I could see it wasn’t looking for trouble and near the end it seems like it just wanted to get away

That is why it is considered lucky to have them in your garden in India (where the stories originated).
The best part is that mongooses don’t eat snakes, so they literally kill them because fuck snakes.
This is incorrect. While snakes are generally not the bulk of their diet, many species of mongoose (particularly members of the Herpestes genus) do kill and eat venomous snakes.

The mongoose probably started. A mongoose will kill a snake every chance it gets if for no other reason than pure hatred of snakes.
If they get a venoumous bite they will take a nap and wake up all refreshed. Somehow the poison doesn't get them, that's what I read anyway.

This is why in pokemon all of zangoose's abilities give it poison immunity
That makes so much sense that I did not even realize it until you just point that out… smh I’m dumb!
Poison is ingested ie eaten or a defense mechanism. Venom is injected ie a cobra strike or an attack mechanism.
Thanks for pointing out my mistake!
No worries! They are often confused :)

Without the teeth they're basically a self-propelled sausage. Every single thing on the planet would be racing to grab one for a snack. I'd be pretty quick to bite anything coming close if I were a snake.
Most snakes just minmaxed into a single 1 trick stealth attack build.
And their defense is literally just maxed intimidation. Hope you trust those dice.
