I love that they really are just giant cats and act like stupid scaredy cats sometimes too.

Mongooses are vicious and fearless little fuckers, and seemingly possess no self-preservation instinct. The kitties are just like "leave it, Karen, he's not worth it".

Is it mongooses or mongeese

It’s probably mongooses but wtf English.

u/mrmojo448 Mar 11 '20

Mongoose is also the plural. But Mongeese is the winner if I had a choice..

I personally use a teethbrush twice a day--I don't brush only one tooth!

1

u/Kettchitup Mar 12 '20

But do you go get a hairscut?

1

u/Hugeknight Mar 11 '20

But you brush one tooth at a time.

1

u/VitQ Mar 12 '20

Depends on the size of the head of the brush.

1

u/Hugeknight Mar 12 '20

True, but you can only apply pressure on one tooth at a time I think.

I may be wrong on this but looking at them they seem like they might be adolescents? Especially the one in the last shot is pretty small so maybe they're just too young to try to fuck with a mongoose.

22

u/iamsoupcansam Mar 11 '20

Just like when people fight, it’s not just about whether or not you can win the fight but what damage you might take along the way. They know they could kill it - they will things much, much bigger - but a nasty cut from a bite could mean death if it gets infected, even if they do eat it. They’re right to be weary.

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '20

Wary. Weary means tired. Wary means concerned by. TMYK.

u/iamsoupcansam Mar 11 '20

You’re right, dammit.

He was really pissed at that particular lion.

Probably pissed on his mongoose hole.

u/Two2twoD Mar 11 '20

I love the look on their face like "d'ya know what to do with one o'these? What do I do? Ahhhh it's coming towards me!"

u/endlessinquiry Mar 11 '20

If those cats were hungry, this may have ended differently. Cats want to expend the least amount of effort possible. That mongoose was going to be a pain for not much reward.

u/rando7818 Mar 11 '20

Wait wait did anyone else think that in the last bit of the video the one lioness was telling the one being assaulted by the mongoose to not engage. Don’t hit or kill it? I really got that vibe.

21

u/minkymy Mar 11 '20

She was telling her kid to stop

1

u/[deleted] Mar 16 '20

There was definitely some kind of communication. At the beginning of the video you can see one lion block the other with it's head and then growl at it.

u/diver830 Mar 11 '20

The cat slap at the end haha

u/evictor Mar 12 '20

"leave me alone you dirty mongoose"

u/efk_irish Mar 11 '20

This mongoose sounded like my girlfriend when I woke her up for work the day after daylight savings.

u/Kettchitup Mar 11 '20

When that 5’ woman is mad at you and you’re 6’3”

u/[deleted] Mar 11 '20

It sounds like a big bird and an angry child.

u/T4R4Bytes Mar 11 '20

This is like a more intense version of my house from 9 pm to midnight when I let the ferrets out and the cats freak out.

11

u/Cukimonster Mar 11 '20

That was a rollercoaster! First, that cat had no clue what demon just spawned in that hole. Then the second cat came, and the first cat was like “omg, thank god it’s you!” cuddles for comfort Then the other cat gets too curious, and gets a lesson for it.

I kept rooting for the lions, like just smack it already. But when that mongoose actually launched itself up to bite the lion in the face, I was sold. That crazy little fucker won me over.

u/wherearemytweezers Mar 11 '20

Seems like the kitties could tear him to shreds but really just want him to STFU

I need this to be an Ozzie man review.

u/grawrant Mar 11 '20

How does such a tiny mongoose drag around those massive balls?

5

u/ArtemisXIII Mar 11 '20

Lions laughing at the mongoose "Lol look how big he thinks he is." They're just as shocked as we are that it's picking that fight.

TIL - don't piss off a mongoose

20

u/PoLoMoTo Mar 11 '20

This would be a fantastic candidate for r/aminaltextgifs

Mongoose: "Fuckin come at me bro! Fight me!"

Lions: "Bruh are you stupid we will fuck you up"

u/Whatifisaid- Mar 11 '20

This is my cats when they came across a garden snake one time. Very curious and got close, but too scared to do anything significant with the snake stuntin’ on them.

5

u/Assassin4Hire13 Mar 11 '20

I can only imagine the mongoose having TWKYK Abe Lincoln voice, just marching that lioness around goin "Now ya fucked up, now ya fucked up, now ya fucked up, fucked up you have now!"

This is exactly how my sweet boy responds to bugs without wings. Flying bugs are game over, though.

u/you_killed_my_father Mar 11 '20

I have a question. If a human would yell and charge at these lions, would the lions also be scared or at least apprehensive to fight back like this? It just weirds me out seeing bigger wildlife get scared of smaller ones.

5

u/pyryoer Mar 11 '20

I think you'd have a better chance of surviving if you tried to appear intimidating rather than scared. I jumped over a fence only to be face to face with a German Shepherd that started growling and eventually bolted at me. I raised my arms above my head to maky myself look bigger and yelled at the dog really loudly and it stopped in it's tracks long enough for me to grab my Frizbee and jump back over the fence.

When I went to Yellowstone, they suggested to do exactly what I did with that dog if a bear is charging at you, so I bet it could work!

2

u/TheRealBebus Mar 12 '20

TIL my cat is not a fan of the sound of an angry mongoose.

2

u/uriniferous Mar 12 '20

It reminds me of when my cat got beat up by a grasshopper

2

u/Pyttchan Mar 12 '20

This kind of situation happened with my cats and one particularly pissed off mouse once. It just started screaming like crazy and kept jumping at them. Usually a little mouse won't stand a chance against my cats but it seems they just got so flabbergasted at the reaction so they didn't really know what to do...

u/scruffy69 Mar 11 '20

TIL, honey badger ain’t got nothin on a mongoose.

Mongooses seem like they might be close relatives to honey badgers
