Mongooses and snakes have been natural enemies for centuries, primarily due to predation. Snakes pose a threat to mongooses and their young, while mongooses hunt and eat snakes, leading to an ongoing cycle of attack and defense between the two species.
Beyond predation, mongooses and snakes also compete for food, shelter, and territory. Mongooses, skilled hunters of small mammals, birds, and reptiles, find themselves in direct competition with snakes, who prey on similar animals. This rivalry is further fueled by territorial disputes, as mongooses defend their domain against encroaching snakes, leading to frequent clashes.
