Nice behavior captured. I was not aware that mongoose might be eating insects from elephant dung. The eye contact is nice. Seems it was a bit far. Thanks for sharing.

Hey Sucheth, nice behaviour documented. Thanks for sharing the info.

As it also hunts insects, it has found a readily available source. And the behaviour has been nicely recorded. The eye contact of one is nice. It looks darker also. It is almost twice heavier than the common mongoose. A good predator too.
