@LionTamarin I’m sure most of us zoochatters know what a bokiboky is. It’s a relatively common name for Narrow-striped Mongoose. Much like tanuki vs raccoon dog.
 
@LionTamarin good thinking! Must admit though, I’m personally not a huge fan of the name ‘narrow-striped mongoose’ as the species is actually more closely related to Fossa than true mongooses! Plus Bokiboky is more fun to say!
