[Music] in Uganda a group of banded mongoose mothers have a unique way of bringing up their young the alpha female has given birth along with two other females they're so in sync they can give birth on the exact same day it's a strategic move the alpha female would attack the other parts if she could easily distinguish them from her own but these parts are all the same age in the same den and share a communal scent none of the mothers can tell which of these 12 new pups are theirs as a result it
's one big happy family but with over 40 mongooses sharing one underground Den it can quickly become infested with parasites they constantly move house in part to keep clean and healthy which is where their extended family comes into its own they wait until the coast is clear of predators and then they grab all the Puffs no matter whose they are and set off moving house is stressful enough without having to do it every week but finally they reach their new home the incredible ability of these mo
thers to coordinate their timing and get others to help out means their babies have the best possible chance of survival and hidden away in their new home these babies are in the safest place they can possibly be

Glad to see you guys still posting. Been there since my childhood❤.
Hello, Ugandan here 😊🇺🇬, much love 😊😊
Speaking as a wildlife conservationist from Zimbabwe, Banded Mongooses are absolutely amazing animals. I work part time at Bumi Hills, Lake Kariba with my father's anti-poaching unit. We have been extremely fortunate to raise four Banded Mongooses ( two girls and two boys ) from young ages and watched them interact and reintegrate with our local wild troop. Our two females have already had a number of litters with the wild males. They are the most affectionate, loving and sweet little creatures you can possibly think of. However, they are not pets and are free to come and go when they please. Grateful for this video. Made me think of them.
Amazing animals and great predators!🙌🏼
So precious
Animals do talk to each other.
We all love Mongooseses!!
Well that was adorable
They're so cute!!! ❤
From a long time observation , i've come to the conclusion that animals are far better mothers than some human mothers. They're bloody adorable 😊
Mongoose and Monk Seals are the Hawaii State Dog. See them everywhere 😂
Wonderful creatures 😍
