Are mongoose rodents?

The Mongoose certainly is an animal, found mainly in Northern India. It is a member of the weasel/ferret family and a vicious fighter, one of the few animals in the world that will protect it's offspring and itself from highly venomous snakes (like the King Cobra). Often kept as pets and snake killers. Rudyard Kipling (English, lived in India) wrote The Jungle Book and in it was a short story of a brave mongoose called Rikki Tikki Tavi - Disney missed this story when they created the big screen animation 'Jungle Book'
