Mongoose Mugs
Description: Who doesn't love the cobra killing Mongoose!? Mongooses are weasel-like creatures that belong to the group of Carnivores. There are 33 mongoose species; they live in Europe, Asia and Africa. Mongooses like rocky areas, but they can be found in forests and semi-aquatic areas. Since they are easily adaptable, they are not endangered.
Description: Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is a short story in Rudyard Kipling's 1894 collection about the adventures of a valiant young Indian grey mongoose in India. Based on the classic mongoose and snake fable, the story has been anthologized and published multiple times, and been made into animated features. This design is based on the 1975 cartoon version that American audiences are most familiar with. The story focuses on an English family living in India who discovers a mongoose residing on the estate. They decide to keep him as a pet, in the hopes that he will keep them safe from the many cobras that live in the surrounding jungle. Their new pet quickly begins earning his keep, as two cobras make the family their new target.
