Ricki Ticki was a mongoose, a natural enemy to snakes, actually the biggest enemy that snakes have. Actually snakes are aware of the fact and make sure they avoid mongooses. They are natural enemies and prey on each other. Cobras are excellent at striking and mongooses are very quick in moving in the air, turning, moving and attacking snakes in deadly ways. Cobras strike and swallow in one bite prey which are quite big. Mongooses are considered the biggest protection to humans as they are very friendly and pro- human. They are even a stronger protection than big trained watchdogs. If I had a mongoose in my child’s nursery I would have a peaceful mind and be sure that no snake would be around my child.
