Mongooses kill snakes but giggle while mating

Mongooses are living species of small carnivorans from southern Eurasia and mainland Africa of the family Herpestidae. Four additional species from Madagascar in the subfamily Galidiinae, which were previously classified in this family, are also referred to as "mongooses" or "mongoose-like". Genetic evidence indicates the Galidiinae are more closely related to other Madagascar carnivorans in the family Eupleridae, which is the closest living group to the true mongooses.

The mongoose emits a high-pitched noise, commonly known as giggling, when it mates. Giggling is also heard during courtship.
