Meet our mischievous pair of Small Grey Mongooses who have taken their grooming routine to new heights – right on the verandah floor! These furry friends are no ordinary visitors; they've become habituated to human presence and now grace a suburban house with their playful antics. As if that wasn't enough, they've even allowed lucky visitors to capture this incredible moment on camera. With their sleek grey coats glistening in the sunlight, these mongooses prove that teamwork makes the dream work. Engaged in mutual grooming, they meticulously clean each other's fur with utmost care and precision. It's as if they're saying "we scratch each other's backs. . . literally!".
