	mongoose — FactMonster.com
		Mongooses are fierce, active hunters, feeding on a variety of ground-living animals, as well as eggs, and, in some species, fruits.
		When attacking a snake, the mongoose provokes it to strike repeatedly, avoiding it by agile dodging; when the snake is exhausted the mongoose seizes its head in its jaws and crushes the skull.
		The Indian mongoose is easily tamed and is often kept as a pet and a destroyer of household vermin.
