Life Cycle of Baby Egyptian Mongoose.

At the age of 2 both female and male egyptian mongoose are sexually mature. Upon birth, the newborns are helpless, but after about 8 days they have the ability to follow the female parent. In rearing of the young both father and mother contribute, but just in so many human traditions the female accomplishes more then the male. The young egyptian mongoose is dependent on his parents for about a year and the males are independent before females.
