Best Answer

MONGOOSE EATERS Large birds can catch young or small-sized mongooses. But what eats the larger ones? Jackals and other wild dogs will try to eat them, and they're sometimes attacked by wild cats. But a mongoose under attack can zip away so fast that the bigger mammal usually doesn't stand a chance. And any mammal that corners a mongoose may be in for trouble. The tough little fighter jumps up and tries to bite the enemy's face.

Mongooses are predators, and carnivorous, and feed on a wide range of animals including small mammals and birds (including bird eggs), reptiles (especially snakes), and crabs.

They also eat pollen in the summer, fruit, leaves, flowers, small prey such as rodents, chickens, reptiles, worms and insects.

Their ability to kill poisonous snakes, such as cobras and adders, is legendary. Their diet also includes vegetables, fruits, and berries.

They are omnivores, as you can see.
