Mongoose is common name for several small carnivores found in Africa and Asia. They are generally
terrestrial mammals, but some are semi-aquatic, and others are at home in the treetops. The head and
body of a typical mongoose are a total of 23 to 65 cm (9 to 26 in) long and grayish or brownish in color.
The animal has a tapered head, long tail, and short feet. Mongooses live about 7 to 12 years in the wild,
but in captivity they may live to more than 20 years. They have one to four young in each litter. They
subsist on rodents and snakes and are renowned for attacking even the largest and most poisonous snakes
—to whose poison they are not immune—by an agile avoidance of their strikes. Mongooses have been
introduced to many areas of the world in order to control rodents and snakes, but importation of
mongooses into the United States is prohibited because they also destroy many useful animals.
A common species of mongoose inhabits India. The common Egyptian species, the ichneumon, was
worshiped by the ancient Egyptians. A related animal, the suricate, or slender tailed meerkat, of southern
Africa, is easy totame. Scientific classification: Mongooses belong to the family Herpestidae.

Singapore had the highest global average peak internet connection speed in the third quarter of this year,

downloading during peak hours - you end up with traffic jams, or a lower average speed." Connectivity
has grown globally, with the average connection speed growing 2.3 per cent quarter-onquarter and
increasing 21 per cent to 6.3 Mbps year-on-year, according to Akamai's report. The global average peak
connection speed increased 3.4 per cent quarter-on-quarter and 16 per cent year-on-year to 37.2 Mbps. In
