| Haven't you ever seen the little scuba tanks and little scuba masks designed specifically for mongooses by the Indian Navy after they realized someone might try to take out one of their vessels using the Snakes On A Plane idea?

| The only critters of this family I really dislike are the Minks. Nasty critters. We had one where I worked in Alaska and it killed half the baby trumpeting swans and our lone mallard!! We really liked that mallard. Stupid mink.

| I hate swans. Vile, ill tempered, nasty creatures. Kind of like Inq, really, although at least they LOOK nice.

| Okay, so I was almost attacked by these same swans, but they were really just protecting their babies. I think.
Geese are much worse. Especially Canadien Geese....

| oog yes they are. too true! and they take over a lake and leave 'presents' everywhere cuz the babies can't fly away yet. gets pretty gross after you get over the cuteness of the goslings.

| mongoose has the better name, hence my vote
also, I definately would take swans over geese, although that thing they do with their necks and make their heads bend all the way behind them is kind of weird... | |

| Hi everyone *waves paws*,
I'm resurrecting this thread out of vanity! And as a random means of saying hello after a long weaselly absence. Sorry and everything - been so busy and away from Weasel Towers a lot.
By way of sticking to the topic: Mongoose - Hah! I laugh in the face of mongeese. They are powerless in the face of the might of the weaselly one. I thank Go?F?, ZZ and Inq for their support...

Welcome back.
