Indian Grey Mongoose Mother
A wild Indian grey mongoose mother brings her cubs into the forest to teach them how to hunt and eat. While the cubs are trying to eat or play, the mother looks around with curious eyes or sometimes stands up defensively with two legs. The Indian grey mongoose is a mongoose species native to the Indian subcontinent and West Asia, found in open forests, scrublands, and cultivated fields, often close to human habitation. It is bold and inquisitive but wary, seldom venturing far from cover. Its prey includes rodents, snakes, birds' eggs and hatchlings, lizards, and a variety of invertebrates. It breeds throughout the year. This photo was taken at Tehatta, West Bengal; India on July 26, 2023. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
