Two Baby Mongoose - Kona, Hawaii
There are a lot of mongoose on the Big Island. They are very easily spooked and can disappear in a flash. I spent enough time working with them that they got to where they would let me sit quietly within 6-8 feet while they went about their business. I couldn't make any sudden movements or they were gone. Reminded me of when I was working with the feral kittens we rescued. So, alert to danger and so fast to flee. The parents were much lighter in color.
