Mongeese (Plural?)are weasle like creatures about the size of a large house cat.
They have increadible speed and eat snakes. They are famed for killing cobras in particular though this is no greater in my book than killing say a viper of some sort.

There is a myth that they are immune to poison but they are not. they are so fast they rarely get bit. When and of they do get bit by a cobra they will die.

Look it up on the web there has to be a picture somewhere
