They reached Europe from Africa, safely, more than one thousand years ago. They had a job to do, and they did it perfectly. Now they are living in Spain and Portugal perfectly integrated with the natural environment. In fact they can be considered pure Iberians. Another Iberian species, with all the credit!. A good example to follow, I Think... Iberian Mongoose or Andalusian ichneumon (Herpestes ichneumon widdringtonii) is a subspecies of the Egyptian mongoose which is the only mongoose that lives in Europe, particularly in the south of the Iberian Peninsula. It is called “Meloncillo” in Spanish and " Sacarrabos " in Portuguese. In this video you can see an Andalusian Ichneumon, what is not so easy in the field… Meloncillo would have been introduced in the Iberian peninsula during the Arab occupation, which started in 711 AD, more than one thousand years ago. The Moors may have imported this mongoose to hunt rats. Some individuals, escaping captivity, would have become feral and developed to a singular subspecies. Meloncillo differs from the other Egyptian Mongoose subspecies in its larger size and its significantly stronger dentition. So, these are the sketches that I prepared for two different versions of Meloncillo 1:20 scale. One walking and the other standing up in the distinctive way how all the mongoose do. Fortunately these small mustelids reproduce easily ... see!: The challenge from the point of view of the sculptor is that the model looks as elusive as all mongooses are...and this is the final result of my work:
