Cute mongoose.

Very interesting. They are really cute too:)) Thanks so much. I was just wondering how they got the name "Mongoose" but I will have to look that up.

[@BrookfieldZooChicago]

It's derived from the various Indian names for this type of animal.

What is the diet of these little ones?

[@BrookfieldZooChicago]

They're carnivores, so they eat a lot of insects like crickets and mealworms.
