Mongoose are in the Weasel family
Yeah, that sounds right, along with Badgers, Otter and Mink... all of these things I'm not familiar with. I remember my husband pointed out an otter (I think), once on the canals. It was swimming fast like crazy. It looked like a massive rat to me 😅
I did not realize that otters were in that family as well but I guess it makes sense. Interesting. Evolution at work
