Meet the Mongoose gang. They may look cute and cuddly but they'll do whatever it takes to protect themselves. And it's a never-ending battle.

Besides predators, they have to deal with the threat of nature. A flood forces them to evacuate the abandoned termite mound they inhabit in search of another safe haven. The journey becomes a gauntlet of peril. They risk injury... and death. But nothing will stop them from reaching their new home. If they can keep growing in numbers this gang will beat the odds. More than anything, they are a loving and caring family. It's what has kept them going. And it will keep them going. They're small but they're feisty. They're survivors. They're banded brothers.

The surviving brother eventually grows to adulthood. One day he may even take over as the alpha male. But the pack is too large. It's forced to split up. By doing so, a new gang is formed. Thus, the cycle continues. A cycle of survival. A constant battle. Will our gang make it? Will they kill for food, or be killed for food?
