Even a six-month-old baby can easily handle a cobra.
And the mongoose easily defeats the overpowered cobra, no problem. It doesn't hide in the grass like a last-resort camping noob, hoping to shoot someone in the back. It goes on a direct attack and wins! Like a man! To overthrow the power of the greedy underlings - that is its path, it can, because it is a cool guy.
Your mongoose is an overfed little badger. A pharaoh's mouse. And it doesn't always win, by the way.
И пока в кармане пачка милкиуэйев - значит все не так уж плохо на сегодняшний день
