Banded Mongoose
They not only eat termites, sometimes they evict them. This family of Banded Mongoose has taken up temporary residence in a termite mound in the Serengeti.
This is the part where I write something interesting about Mongoose but I really know nothing about them except that they’re the bees knees.
Well, they also like snakes which is why Jamaica has no snakes and has a ton of mongoose. Families of over 50 sometimes cross our yard in Mwanza. playing and eating bugs. They are darn cute!
