. The animals of the world. Brehm's life of animals;. Mammals. THE CBAB MUNGOOS. This animal, sometimes called the Urva, derives its name from the fact that it ifeeds on Crabs, which, with Frogs, also a favorite food with it, are plentifully found in the wet valleys of Nepaul, where it lives. It has a stout body, a pointed snout, and a rather long and buShy tail. The picture shows it with a 'Crab it has captured.
