The animal expert asked what it was called.

Mongoose (also called Mongo), with an upright height of only 12 inch, is a small, flowery mammal that lives in one of the hottest and driest areas on the earth. As one of the Lithopods, this cute, precocious and gregarious animal is violent enough to kill a cobra.

Mongoose, also known as meerkats, is a small nocturnal cat. The average weight of men is about 73 1g, and that of women is 720g g. The trunk and limbs are slender, with a body length of 25 to 35 cm and a tail length of 17-25 cm. Her tail (not as good as other meerkats)

Like a cluster) is long and thin, and the sharp ones extend all the way to the endpoint, and the endpoints at the end are all black. When standing upright, meerkats use their tails to keep their balance. Their faces are also very sharp, extending to the brown nose, and there are black lumps around their eyes. These structures have the same function as sunglasses, so that they can still see things clearly in bright sunlight and even look directly at the sun. Meerkats have small black crescent ears, which can be closed when digging holes to prevent sand from entering the ears. Meerkats have powerful, 2 cm long curved claws, which can be used to dig holes for hunting and adjust their underground caves. They have four toes and slender limbs on each foot. Fur is usually light yellow with gray, bronze or silver brown. They have short parallel stripes on their backs, which extend from the root of their tails to their shoulders and are different from each other. The mongoose has no pattern on its lower body, only sparse hair on its abdomen, and its black skin is exposed. When they stand on their hind feet, mongooses use the black area of their abdomen to absorb the heat of the sun, which is usually the first thing they do in the morning after a cold desert night to warm their bodies. Mongoose are mainly insect eaters, but they also eat lizards, snakes, spiders, plants, eggs and small mammals. Like other mongooses, mongooses are immune to many poisons, which enables them to eat scorpions (including thorns) and some snakes without causing discomfort, poisoning or death. They don't store fat in their bodies, so they will starve to death without feeding every day.

Meerkats reach sexual maturity in about one year, with an average of three fetuses per fetus, and wild meerkats can give birth to three fetuses a year. Mongooses are porous and can breed at any time all year round, but most of them are produced in warmer weather. The report points out that they don't have courtship behavior, and the male will beat the female until the female gives in and then begins to mate. The pregnancy is about 1 1 week, and the baby is born in the cave, hairless. The cubs' ears open in about ten days, and their eyes open in ten to fourteen days. They are weaned between the ages of 49 and 63. They won't be on the ground for three weeks, and then they will stay with the nanny near burrow for a week or so until they join. Usually, the spouses of the highest class of the leading group have the right to reproduce. Under normal circumstances, they will kill all the cubs that are not born to them to ensure that their descendants have the best chance of survival. They will also expel or kill females who have given birth to cubs that offend them.

Edit this paragraph behavior

Mongoose are burrowing animals. They live in large underground reticulated caves with several entrances and only leave during the day. They are very social animals, living in a group of up to 40 animals. Individuals in the same group often comb each other's hair to strengthen social ties. Leaders' spouses often leave smell marks on subordinates in the group to express their authority, such as mongooses.

Usually accompanied by subordinates licking and combing the leading spouse, these actions are usually carried out after the group members reunite after leaving for a period of time. Most mongooses in the same group are brothers or children of the leading spouse. Mongoose show altruistic behavior in their communities. When one or more mongooses are foraging or playing with other mongooses, they will stand guard and warn them of the danger of approaching. When predators are found, the sentry will give a loud warning, and the rest will run away or hide in holes scattered in their territory. The sentry will be the first to come out of the hole to detect the predator's movements and leave the other members in the hole. If there is no warning threatening the sentry, other members will appear safely. The mongoose will also take care of all the cubs in the group, and the unfertilized females will breast-feed the cubs when the lead female is not there. They also protect the cubs from any threats, even life threats. When the danger warning is issued, these nannies will take their cubs to the underground to take refuge, and prepare to guard them (such as predators who will drill holes) if danger may follow. If you can't hide underground, the nanny will gather the cubs and block them with her own body. At present, mongooses are known to engage in strange social activities, including those that look like wrestling or running. In recent years, people have noticed that mongoose's calls are meaningful, and they have special calls for different predators. How these calls evolved is unknown at present, and they are obvious examples. Meaning does not only exist in human language, although no one will claim that mongoose's cry constitutes a language. More than one group of field researchers reported that they had witnessed mongoose singing in different singing ceremonies with true and false voices.

Edit the natural enemies in this paragraph.

The natural enemies of mongoose include all kinds of eagles and falcons, especially the eagles living in Africa. Wolves on land are also a big threat to mongooses. For the natural enemies in the sky, meerkats usually take the way of running away to avoid them. When the mongoose in charge of investigation warns the natural enemies in the sky to attack, other mongooses will flee to the ground or other bunkers in the fastest way. Adult meerkats who can't escape into the bunker will also protect their cubs with their bodies. For natural enemies on land, meerkats usually scare each other to give up hunting. Frightening includes growling and trying to make your body look huge. Mongoose will bow their backs, try to stand on tiptoe, and their hair and tail will tilt up. Keep your head down and shake back and forth. Spitting at each other from time to time is also a means to scare natural enemies such as wolves. This behavior of scaring natural enemies usually requires several meerkats to do it at the same time. Once this method fails, the mongoose will fall on its back, exposing its teeth and claws, trying to protect the back of its weakest neck.

Edit this paragraph's relationship with human beings

The existence of mongoose has largely controlled the number of some agricultural pests. Especially the harm of Lepidoptera butterflies and moths to crops. At the same time, it has also been reported that mongooses spread pathogenic bacteria and viruses by attacking humans and other livestock. In some areas, mongooses are kept as pets, which further increases the chance of disease transmission.
