Mongoose in a puddle

During one of my regular trips to Bandipur forest we came across a striped neck mongoose in a puddle of water left in the waterhole and it was going round and round in the puddle and stopping a bit at scratching the silt and this behavior was witnessed by me for the first time in all these years i have been going to the forest. So i asked the naturalist who was accompanying us on the safari the reason for such behavior and was informed that by doing this the tadpoles are being dislodged from the silt and mongoose gets it tidbits 😀😀

Hope you guys enjoyed the video as much as i enjoyed seeing this incident live during September 2018
