A mongoose is a member of the family of small cat-like carnivores. I found the translation on Wikipedia but don't know its accuracy. The first character doesn't seem to be in the dictionary, but is prounounced meng2 or meng3. I don't understand the relevancy of ke1 to this animal either. meng2/3 ke1 might be an transliteration of the English word?
