Indian Mongoose (Herpestes Javanicus)
Hello my name is Sarah and I am a 7th grade student at Correia Middle School. This site is for a project about invasive species,
although there are many invasive species that I could have chosen I chose the Indian Mongoose because of how many places it has
infected and how many species it has made become extinct and endangered. This site is about how the Indian mongoose harming
and threatening many different species around the world. They are currently found in 29 locations and 15 out of them where brought
from a foreign place to help control population. These animals are known by three different names, the Indian mongoose, Javan
Mongoose, and The Small Asian Mongoose. They are amazing creatures but we do have to put a stop to their control over many
places like Hawaii and others that are not meant to be their homes and are paying dearly because of them. not only are they
bothering owners of land but they are also making many of Hawaii's exotic creatures extinct and endangered.
