Mongooses are a species of animal native to the marsh and the Pride Lands. They feed on fruits and grubs, and are preyed upon by hyenas and jackals.
Physical attributes[]
In general, mongooses are small, long-bodied, and slender. They have thin legs, long tails, and snouts with visible teeth. There appear to be two types of mongooses: those native to the marsh and those native to the Pride Lands. Marsh mongooses have darker pelts and lack stripes, while mongooses from the Pride Lands are dusky brown in color with black stripes on their backs and tails.
Sociocultural characteristics[]
Mongooses live in both marsh and savanna areas. They feed on grubs, such as snails, as well as fruits. They are known to be hunted by hyenas and jackals.
