The little baby mongoose that was found on the side of a road next to a beach.
IT’S been raining little mongoose at Crow since the start of baby season in November. The centre has received a whopping 28 mongoose babies.
“Mongoose live together in large troops called a ‘business’ and mothers have up to four pups at a time. Inevitably, one or two become separated from their troop and slowly start starving, get covered in ticks and fleas and sometimes succumb to the elements,” explained Crow communications officer, Alex Kogl.
Thankfully there are kind Samaritans in the world to scoop up the little beings and bring them through to Crow.
“One little girl in particular, was found on the side of a road next to a beach. She was quite skinny already and covered in ticks, but is eating up a storm and will be integrated into the existing baby troop at the centre soon,” said Alex.
