Mongooses (I checked, that's the plural ;) are very resistant to snake venom, except that of vipers. Cobra gets one good strike in, mongoose itches for a while, and eats the Cobra.
As per wikipedia: "Since the word "goose" is linguistically unrelated to the word "mongoose," the plural of mongoose is not "mongeese" but rather "mongooses.""
neat, i never knew that thing about the venom resistance, but it does make sense that if god intended the mongoose to fight the cobra, he would have made them resistant to their venom... *smirk*
