Mongoose

Mongooses are animals that appear in The Lion King franchise.
== Information ==
Banded mongooses live in groups consisting of an average 20 individuals of both sexes. Most of their diet consists of small animals such as beetles, lizards, and birds. 
Though they forage in groups, they do not feed cooperatively, and each group members finds their own meal. Occasionally, they will fight over food, but usually the first mongoose to find food earns it for itself.
Indian brown mongooses, native to India, Sri Lanka, and Fiji, live in hilly, mountainous areas. The species is nocturnal, preferring to live in isolation and burrow in densely-packed rocks. Females usually give birth to two or three young.
Javan mongooses live in south Asia, found in deciduous, evergreen, and dipterocarp forests as well as abandoned plantations and pineapple fields. They are mostly solitary, but will burrow and live in groups on occassion.
At night, mongooses sleep in dens, which usually are in the form of termitaria, and change every few days. These dens are usually located in open thicket and have many entrances to compensate for the large number of group members.
