The word mongoose is derived from the Marathi name mangus, perhaps ultimately from Dravidian (cf. Telugu mungeesa, Kannada mungisi. The form of the English name (since 1698) was altered to its -goose ending by folk-etymology. It has no etymological connection with the word goose. The plural form is mongooses,[3] or, rarely, mongeese.[4] It has also been spelled mungoose.[5] Mongooses also have receptors for acetylcholine that, like the receptors in snakes, are shaped so that it is impossible for snake neurotoxin venom to attach to them. Researchers are investigating whether similar mechanisms protect the mongoose from hemotoxic snake venoms.[6] The Indian Mongoose and others are well-known for their ability to fight and kill venomous snakes, particularly cobras. They are adept at such tasks due to their agility, thick coat, and mutated acetylcholine receptors, which render them resistant or immune to snake venom.[8] They typically avoid the cobra and have no particular affinity for consuming its meat.[9] |

mambad, when you spot mongoose, best strategy is not biting, tieing it down. |

Senapathy:Ippudu neeku credit ivvala?
against mongoose, bite does not work. it has thick fur like an otter and very small or no surface area the bite can land. mongoose must have some natural advantage, which is why it preys on snakes in evolution. so, it is a physical/mental fight. large snakes have more stamina and also can tie the mongoose if it is smart. |

Entikaburlu:eventually, it becomes a physical fight of endurance, and snake is very disadvantaged because it is too long.
The Egyptian mongoose, which shares much of its geographical range with all species of Mambas, has shown a particularly high level of resistance to three species of venomous snake: the Palestine viper, Desert black snake, and the Black necked spitting cobra, and also all Naja (Cobra) species in general.[38] This resistance is caused by mutations in their nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, but resistance to dendrotoxins, which are the main components of the Black mamba's venom, is not seen. In fact, dendrotoxin's have been shown to bind to the alpha subunits of mongoose species, unlike cobratoxins.[39] Most species of mongoose in Africa (and elsewhere for that matter) show a very strong resistance to α-cobratoxin. The mongoose's α-subunits don't bind the toxin and thus most species of mongoose are able to survive bites from both the true cobra's (genus Naja) and also the King cobra, which isn't a "true" cobra but shares the same cobratoxin's of the true cobra's.[40] However, mongoose do on occasion prey on very young snakes and black mamba eggs. Mongooses, especially the Yellow mongoose attack only young snakes as they are very small and thus can be killed with ease, while large black mambas usually fight back, are very quick, and can deliver a lethal bite. Cape file snakes have also been observed preying on young black mambas, but this is uncommon.[13] |

Blackmamba:btw naako doubt vachindi.. mongoose blackmamba ni sampagaladantaara??
intresting thing is, most animals, example dogs, just run away when they smell a snake. they don't mess with them. looks like mongoose specializes in them. |

Blackmamba:btw naako doubt vachindi.. mongoose blackmamba ni sampagaladantaara??
most likely. my thinking is this: mongoose has thick fur and has no exposed tissue with blood vessels or nerves, so the snake cannot get the bite across. eventually, it becomes a physical fight of endurance, and snake is very disadvantaged because it is too long. |
