Mongoose are known for attacking snakes, and taking on other deadly predators, but when Lions surrounded one of the animals, we have to admit that the results were incredible.
On the Barcroft TV YouTube page the company writes:
“Four lions were left with their tails between their legs when a mongoose bravely took on the predators. Despite being under two feet tall, the aggressive mongoose growled at the felines and even bit one on the nose. The shocking fight, which was photographed in 2011 but has just been released, began in the Masaai Mara National Park, Kenya, when photographer Jerome Guillaumot came across four young lions surrounding the terrified marsh mongoose. The lions chased the mongoose into a hole in the ground but the small animal reemerged to fight the predators once again before running for cover.”
Here’s the video of the amazing fight and its unexpected results:
