A small, sleek mongoose crouches in front of some spiky foliage.

A mongoose is perpendicular to the camera lens with its head turned in profile, displaying its tiny ears and sharp nose.

Close up of the head of the ruddy mongoose. It has variegated fur and clear amber-colored eyes.

A large mongoose walking away turns its head back to bare sharp teeth. Its head is gray and its nose is pink.

I also declare today #MongooseMonday. Here is an array of mongooses I’ve seen: #SmallIndianMongoose from #Hawaii, two pics of the #RuddyMongoose from #SriLanka, and #StripeNeckedMongoose (also called #KingMongoose He’s huge!) from Sri Lanka. #mongoose #wildlifephotography #photography #EastCoastKin
