So there we were.. checking out our twitter feed overnight, when we came across that adorable rare pic of a baby mongoose shared by @DurrellWildlife. So when they followed it up with a link to the video, we just had to check it out.

The mama mongoose was so cute, as she carefully carried her baby to.. wait.. are THOSE WORMS ABOUT TO BE EATEN ALIVE???? -- Nature. It's a must watch!

Mother mongoose and her new arrival
Introducing our newest baby boky-boky! This is, as far as we know, the first footage of a female narrow-striped mongoose – known as boky-boky in their native Madagascar – with her new baby. Even our experts know very little of the intimate moments between a mother and baby of this species, as the key to keeping them happy and healthy is leaving them well alone. However, Mammal Keeper Chris Davies installed his own sound-activated camera, so that we could learn what normal rearing behaviour looks like, without causing any disturbance. And don't worry about the little one's 'fall' at the end... theres a deep layer of soft woodchip and soil-like substrate just underneath!The species is listed as Vulnerable (VU) on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species, and faces challenges from deforestation, predation from feral dogs, and conversion of its forest home to cattle pasture.#DurrellTeam #Durrell_Wildlife
