I know this sounds nerdy, but I'm terribly excited about coming across a 34 inch (around 90 cm) mongoose on my way home the other night in Salalah. It was heading towards the Dahareez banana plantations. I've never seen one before even though they do live in Dhofar. More on these cobra-killing creatures here.
Hmmm... I had no idea they lived here.
ReplyDeletewow how lucky you were - lots of other excting creatures in Dhofar - including civet [ cat :) ], honey badger which are similar size to the Mongoose so let us know what you see
ReplyDeleteI think I've seen a pair of these animals in my garden at night a couple of times. Especially their bushy tail stands out.
ReplyDeleteThere r plenty of these in Salalah Airport Area. Once I visited Airport building basement to check cables and surprised to found full colony of these creature. They are harmless and rightly said protection to humans against snakes. So just chill.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Really.
