#mongeese

ft. (one of) my caitvi fankids - Cassandra II

A pair of mongooses having a little scuffle. They're so fun to watch!

kind of a basic fact with mongooseseseses, but they are really resistant against snake venom! They have proteins that are really good at neutralising the venom, and other proteins in some nerve receptors that are targeted by snake venoms like from cobras, that make it so the venom cannot bind to them, preventing it from messing everything up! (forgive me for the vagueness I don't know near enough about snake venom, must learn more). They are known to kill and eat cobras and it's pretty cool :D very cool creature, thank you for asking :>

i love banded mongoose but every time i see them i think about how they don't avoid incest
