Mongeese

There were lots of mongeese at the campsite in Etosha.

You might think they prefer to be called mongooses, but they don’t.

And although the dictionary says both are correct, I’m not sure you want to mess with a mongoose.

They can make really annoying noises when they are upset.

They also have sharp, vicious little teeth for killing snakes.

Our tour leader assured me he’s never known anyone who got bit by one.

But I wouldn’t mess with him if I were you.
