Curiosity overcomes apprehension
Juvenile yellow mongoose Cynictis penicillata, Rietvlei Dam Nature Reserve.
There were three yellow mongooses and they all took to their heels when they saw our vehicle approaching. However, curiosity overcame apprehension and this youngster turned back, and keeping an eye on us it approached cautiously.
Came across a joke concerning the plural form of this animal's name: A man who once lacked mongooses for his zoo, and not knowing the correct form of the plural, wrote the following letter:
To whom this may concern
I would like to purchase one mongoose from your zoo.
PS Could you send another mongoose with that one!
