Mongoose fight snakes, many snakes, but in this story, a little mongoose fights two King Cobras. Rikki Tikki, the little mongoose, defeats two King Cobras, Nag and Nagaina, that try to harm the family that is cared for by Rikki Tikki.

The Red-bellied Cooter is being threatened by both man-made and natural causes. Do to economic growth, areas that used to be a good habitat for these turtles are now being turned into new, buildings like apartments, houses, and stores. In areas where the turtles can live, they are threatened before they have even hatched from their eggs by other predators like raccoons, skunks, or even snapping turtles. Almost all of the eggs in a nest are harmed before they have a chance to hatch. So while humans taking up land takes the Red-bellied Cooters’ homes, their predators take their lives.

Plus, the majority of these species are endemic, which means that they are found only in Hawaii and nowhere else.

I sit on my log, lurking in the leaves. I'm starving, but I must be patient. I will never get food unless I lie perfectly still in the jungle undergrowth. All I hear are the endless drones of the insects and the loud chirps and squawks of the jungle birds. All are simply local pests, not large enough to satisfy my hunger. From afar I hear a strange, new noise, similar to the incessant ruckus of the birds, but lower. I concentrate on the noise. Could this be my lunch? The sound comes closer and closer. I hear the leaves and branches rustle. A flock of strange creatures emerge from the brush. If I could laugh I would have! These hideous creatures look like enormous beak-less birds whose feathers have been plucked entirely off except for a small
