Description:

'This very readable account is the most complete yet published of the natural history, biology and behaviour of mongooses. Beginning with a broad survey of what is known about the general natural history of mongooses the authors proceed to give a more detailed account of the species. They discuss their relations with poisonous animals from ancient to modern times, their methods of attack and natural immunity to venemous snakes. Every aspect of their behaviour is considered, including parental care, reproduction, play, and language.'
