If the plural of goose is geese and not gooses...then pray tell..how can the plural of mongoose is not mongeese but mongooses?

BlueEyedAlien, there are no snakes endemic to Hawaii and none brought in. The mongooses were brought in to kill rats. Didn't work though because the mongoose is diurnal while rats are nocturnal. Oops.

A better choice to offer would have been mongeese since that’s what many want to say. They are all over Hawaii having been brought to kill snakes.

Mongooses were brought to Okinawa - Japan to help contain the spread of the habu snake a highly poisonous snake it seams that the mongoose is the only enemy of the Habu , today they still stage the fights between the 2 to demonstrate how they fight ( none of the animals are hurt because they stop it right before it gets bloody). I saw it while living on Okinawa during my husband’s deployments.
