 Do they make a sound? The question came up in the WH forum and we cannot find the answer. Would anyone know? __________________

I did a short clip of some sounds I hear quite often and usually when a white tailed mongoose shows up. Not sure if it is the mongoose or a bird but I have heard it so many times right before, during or after a mongoose visits. http://s115.photobucket.com/albums/n293/muttluver/?action=view¤t=MongooseSounds.flv Can anyone say for sure that is the mongoose making the sound? Thanks
I am almost positive that's a mongoose...I have a CD called Animal Calls of Africa with the Banded Mongoose on it and I remember it sounding something like that... EDIT: Just listened to the mongoose sounds I have from the CD (I coppied it onto my computer) and now I think it could be a bird...

Gosh...it could be, Aquila. Will have to make a mental note of that next time one shows up...I always associated that peep sound with a bird or cricket or frog. Hmmm?? Thanks for the heads up!! __________________

I'm having a hard time getting my ears and eyes to work independently....for some reason they seem to want to work together :roll:

 The above was about mongooses in general.

Thank you so much. I will have to conclude that the squeaking sounds I heard were not a mongoose.
