Just a little more FYI, if I recall correctly, a mongooses are rather similar to minks. Long, slender, and exceedingly flexible as well as agile. Considering one of their main meals, as in rikki-tikki-tavi, is snakes (frequently poisonous), the first bite can easily be the last, and they just don't want hit at all.
