@wrecksum -- sure looks like like mongoose type animal....... never get close enough to smell one.
If it looks like, smells like......
But they don't seem friendly - really timid.

Here it is:
Rikki-Tikki-Tavi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"The story follows the experiences of a young mongoose named Rikki-Tikki-Tavi (for his chattering vocalizations) after he was adopted into a British family residing in a bungalow in India, as a pet and as protection against venomous snakes. After becoming acquainted with some of the other creatures inhabiting the garden, Rikki is warned of two cobras Nag and Nagaina, who are angered by the family's presence on the territory which they had previously dominated. Nag enters the house's bathroom before dawn but is attacked by Rikki. The struggle that ensues awakens the human family and the father kills Nag with both barrels of a shotgun.
Nagaina, grieving, attempts revenge against Rikki's human family, cornering them as they take breakfast on an outdoor veranda. While Nagaina has been distracted by the wife of a bird named Darzee, Rikki has destroyed the cobra's unhatched brood of eggs except for one. He now carries it to where Nagaina is threatening to bite the child Teddy while his parents watch helplessly. Nagaina, enraged, recovers her egg, but, pursued by Rikki-Tikki to the cobra's underground nest where an unseen final battle takes place. Rikki emerges triumphant from the hole declaring Nagaina dead. His subsequent role is to protect the family by keeping the garden free from any future intrusion by snakes."
Mongoose are awesome creatures. The fact that they've hunted all poisonous snakes out of existence on many Caribbean islands is more than enough to earn my respect! Do they like eggs? Sure. Keep your eggs where they can't get to them. Pretty simple really. We have foxes and racoons in Texas that'll eat your chickens, but we don't lament their existence. We simply build a better hen house and get a dog to keep them away from the things we don't want them eating. I guess if one attacked me out of nowhere I'd kill it. Had to do that to a tarantula the week after I arrived in the DR. But otherwise, I'm live and let live with the mongoose.
I had a "Cacata" living under mt kitchen stove when we first moved here.
They eat mice, and rats too if they are big enough!
I liked the idea, "Mi Dominicana" didn't!
She was afraid the kids would stick their hands under the stove and get bitten.
He/She, the "Cacata" had to go!
THere was also a "Maco" (Frog with "Sticky Feet") in one of the bathrooms.
Dominicans are scared $HITless of them!
He/She, also had to go!
I once had about 30 chickens "Free Ranging" the yard.
The number of "Bugs", especially centipeads, (Which scare me "$hitless!) was nil!
PLUS, they provided us with eggs, with a hard shell!
My wife ate the chickens, me too!
Now I have cats & dogs patrolling the house & grounds, and my wife would also like them to GO!
I do still have my "Lagartas", (Little Lizards") living behind most picture frames.
At night I watch them come out and hunt anything that lands near them.
They are much cheaper than cans of "RAID"!

Whataya got that can get rid of the black spiders that are the size of a fist? They are the only bug / rodent that ever scared me....
Because it was dark, I was half asleep, and the little bastard bit me! In hindsight it was more my fault than his I'm sure. I was in the yard, wrangling my idiot dog (she's sweet, but just not too bright) and I felt a searing pain in my thigh. On instinct I smacked my leg where the shooting pain was, thinking it was some fly or other little insect and came back with a good deal of what can only be described as "goo" on my hand. Still dealing with the dog and wanting nothing so much as to go back to bed, I wiped my leg off on a towel and crashed. The next morning my leg was killing me, I had an obvious bite on my thigh, and my wife found the carcass of the poor spider.
Get some cats!
They will not only kill the "Giant Spiders", they will first torture them for hours, which is almost as much FUN to watch as as DR1!!!!!!!!!
