Dwarf mongooses are gregarious animals living in family groups and adhering to hierarchy. The alpha male and female are generally in charge, but this varies from circumstance to habitat to food resources. These creatures generally eat snakes, eggs, and insects and may eat rodents – but are not known to attack animals bigger than them. That in itself makes this sighting so much more special as these mongooses took turns in tearing a hare apart.
29-Year-old conservation officer and field guide, Gareth Nuttall-Smith shared this sighting from @MalaMalaGameReserve with LatestSightings.com:
“My colleague Bushi and I were checking the reserve for fire break readiness and came across a group of mongoose on the road. As we stopped they scattered, I noticed the injured scrub hare and grabbed my camera – as I never go anywhere without it.”
“It looked as if though the dominant mongoose was the only one attacking the scrub hare at this point and once he/she had their share, the next most dominant one had their turn. It took quite a long time for the hare to die – the whole scene probably took place over 30 minutes.”
“A couple of mongooses then pulled the scrub hare into the grass and out of sight – as we lost sight we also then moved off. This was a very strange and rare sighting for me. I have been at Mala Mala for 4 years and have never experienced anything like this. What was strange to me though was that the mongooses took chances in attacking the hare. I half expected them to gang up on it like wild dogs.”

This is truly disturbing.
HELP THIS ANIMAL!
nature is so disgusting and cruel sometimes..
womp womp
That's wild, sorry
Its the circle of life
that nga ripped my mans tail off
That’s all, folks
They should be lectured on becoming vegan mongoose
I know it’s just part of nature, but I still feel bad for the bunny
The hare is like: "help me
"
Ehhhh what's up doc …
for any of you who are like "OH WHY ARE THEY JUST STANDING THERE RECORDING AND NOT SAVING THE POOR LITTLE CUTE BUNNY" first of all, shut up, second of all, its just nature, this is what animals have to do to survive, animals do what they do for a reason
its like seeing 2 dogs barking at eachother and being like "WOW, I CANT BELIEVE THAT BEE DID NOT STOP THEM"
"Damn nature you scary"
There are no such thing of baby hares a hare is already the baby version
It’s weird some animals have no problem eating their prey alive and others don’t eat them until they’re dead
Те люди, которые это снимали и наблюдали, самые худшие тваии на земле. Либо спаси, либо убей быстро бедное животное. А снимать на видео, как при тебе жрут заживо зайчонка, это тупость, пусть и тебя так же сожрут заживо, и все рядом стояшие будут снимать тебя на видео.
I came here to see nature unfold with my eyes and you’re covering it with a blur:|
Why did it have to eat its ass

Sad
The Earth is diseased. The name of the disease is life.
Life is an error in the universe.
