The Hindu god of wealth, Kubera is often portrayed holding a mongoose in his left hand, hence the sight of a mongoose is considered lucky by some. In ancient Mesopotamia, mongooses were sacred to the deity Ninkilim, who was conflated with Ningirama, a deity of magic who was invoked for protection against serpents. Genetic research based on nuclear and mitochondrial DNA analyses revealed that the Galidiinae are more closely related to Madagascar carnivores, including the fossa and Malagasy civet.
The only thing that stank more than a pile of live toves was a bunch of half-eaten ones. Short of a bandersnatch—and that could still be along any time now, don’t forget, Irizarry—a breeding rath was the worst news they could have. Anywhere near the access shafts infested by the colony, Kadath Station’s passages reeked of tove—ammoniac, sulfurous.
One interesting note, it IS possible to use a single copy of Mongoose on multiple sentries on a run, if you’re willing to pull some slightly gnarly jank to do it. Trash it mid-run either by installing another program at instant-speed, or with something like Heartbeat. Since the game considers it to be a “new” install of Mongoose, you can then break another sentry.

It’s not known exactly how the mongooses orchestrate reproducing at the same time — sometimes it can involve as many as 12 female mongooses. One hypothesis, Marshall and Cant said, is that dominant females produce a pheromone that acts as a cue.
Schemas are then “compiled” into models using the .model() method. Once you have a model you can use it to find, create, update, and delete objects of the given type. The Schema allows you to define the fields stored in each document along with their validation requirements and default values.
The mongoose is an old world animal that thrives largely in hot or tropical areas. The largest populations can be found across sub-Saharan and Eastern Africa, including most species of Mungotinae and some species of Herpestinae. They are also fairly common throughout a long stretch of territory in southern Asia, from China to the Middle East. Other common locations include southern Iberia, Indonesia, and Borneo. The mongoose’s small size conceals its rather bold disposition.
They spend much of their time within the complex system of tunnels they have created. did not undergo this evaluation prior to entry and should not be considered an example of biocontrol. You can learn more about modern biocontrol efforts at the HDOA Plant Pest Control, Biological Control Section website. Mongooses live mainly in Africa, but they also live in southern Asia and southern Europe. Some species, mainly the Javan mongoose but also the Indian gray mongoose, were introduced to numerous islands, including Mafia Island and Mauritius , Fiji and Hawaii, and islands of Croatia. More specifically, mongooses tend to be terrestrial and live in burrows.
Virtual properties are document properties that you can get and set but that do not get persisted to MongoDB. The getters are useful for formatting or combining fields, while setters are useful for de-composing a single value into multiple values for storage. The example in the documentation constructs a full name virtual property from a first and last name field, which is easier and cleaner than constructing a full name every time one is used in a template.
Galidiinae is presently considered a subfamily of Eupleridae. The form of the English name was altered to its “-goose” ending by folk etymology.
