Banded catnip
A herd of elephants is paying a visit to the area near the Banded Brother territory. The dung from these elephants is irresistible to the mongooses who roll around in it to soak up the scent. But it's not just the smell they are attracted to, there's a feast of insects and beetles hidden in the dung which make a good meal for a hungry mongoose. Most of the elephants don't stay nearby for long, but one female, Mary, has grown used to the human presence in her area and turned it to her advantage - humans always have a ready supply of food and water.
