And now for something completely different: Small Asian Mongoose (Herpestes javanicus)
@ Kahuku Aquaponds, Kahuku, O'ahu, Hawai'i
The mongoose was introduced in Hawaii in the late 1800s to control the rats. However, they instead hunted native birds and bird eggs. They are a major threat to the native birds in Hawaii.
