The mongoose failed to effectively control the black rat population in Hawaii primarily due to its nocturnal behavior, which limited its hunting efficiency since black rats are also nocturnal. Additionally, the mongoose primarily preys on small animals and insects, making it less effective against established rat populations. Furthermore, the introduction of the mongoose disrupted local ecosystems and led to unintended consequences, including the decline of native bird species. Overall, the mongoose's introduction did not align with the ecological needs of Hawaii, resulting in continued rat proliferation.
