Three Asian Mongoose on the hunt
Small Asian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus) standing on lawn at Coubaril, Castries, Saint Lucia.
They were introduced to the plantations in the Smaller Antilles to prey on rats and possibly snakes but became a problem due to them hunting birds and bird eggs, threatening many local island species.
