Mongoose at park on upper lake, Bhopal.
As per wikipedia, Mongoose is a member of the family Herpestidae, a family of small like carnivores. The word Mongoose is derived from the marathi word mangus. In India, Mongoose
are popularly used to fight and kill snakes particularly king cobra. They are able to do this because of their agility and cunning, and their thick coat, but typically avoid the cobra and have no particular affinity for consuming their meat. One can easily see many of them in park and bushes in the walking lane over upper lake.

Illegal trade in mongoose happens in Orissa and carries on unabated. 16 were seized from a fair recently. The practice of trade in wild animals mostly mongoose on Shivratri day has continued since generations in some parts. Does that thing happen in MP too ?
