The creature is able to hold its ground against dangerous predators much larger or more aggressive than itself. Being able to kill snakes (even venomous species!) is only one example. These animals can also sometimes evade or bamboozle deadly predators with its impressive speed and agility. Mongoose did not undergo this evaluation prior to entry and should not be considered an example of biocontrol. You can learn more about modern biocontrol efforts at the HDOA Plant Pest Control, Biological Control Section website.
Izrael Irizarry stepped through a bright-scarred airlock onto Kadath Station, lurching a little as he adjusted to station gravity. On his shoulder, Mongoose extended her neck, her barbels flaring, flicked her tongue out to taste the air, and colored a question. Another few steps, and he smelled what Mongoose smelled, the sharp stink of toves, ammoniac and bitter.

Small flitting things—young raths, near-transparent in their phase shift—filled the space before him. As Irizarry watched, one blundered into the lure of a mongoose bicycles tove, and the tove contracted with sudden convulsive force. Hypochondria, he told himself firmly, aware that that was the wrong word and not really caring.
And humans weren’t any threat to a breeder’s vulnerable abdomen; Sanderson’s pistol might give the breeder a hot foot, but there was no way it could penetrate the breeder’s skin. You couldn’t even look at one for more than a few seconds before you started getting a migraine aura. The breeder was massive, armored, and had no recognizable features, save for its hideous, drooling, ragged edged maw. If Irizarry could smell toves, it was more than the “minor infestation” the message from the station master had led him to expect. Of course, that message had reached Irizarry third or fourth or fifteenth hand, and he had no idea how long it had taken. Perhaps when the station master had sent for him, it had been minor.

The importation of mongooses is strictly regulated in some places, such as the United States, because of their potential destructiveness. Some people note that mongooses can exhibit friendly and intelligent behaviour toward humans if domesticated from a young age and can be useful in eradicating household vermin.
But as he dropped down onto his belly again, to squeeze through a tiny access point—this one clogged with the fresh corpses of newly-slaughtered toves—he needed all the comfort he could invent. The only thing that stank more than a pile of live toves was a bunch of half-eaten schwinn spin bike ones. Short of a bandersnatch—and that could still be along any time now, don’t forget, Irizarry—a breeding rath was the worst news they could have. Anywhere near the access shafts infested by the colony, Kadath Station’s passages reeked of tove—ammoniac, sulfurous.

I even reopened an album that was “completed” and added mono as-is onto the master buss…Wow, the mix got cleaner, more focused. With very little tweaking per song, I decided to submit new masters to my Mastering Engineer.
Half of the pregnant moms in each group were given 50 grams of cooked egg each day, while the other half were not given extra food. We can save our references to the related document by assigning the _id value. Below we create an author, then a story, and assign the author id to our story’s author field. For example, the following schema defines authors and stories. Each author can have multiple stories, which we represent as an array of ObjectId.
