A dwarf mongoose exhibits a unique behavior&nbsp; while playing with toy eggs at the Oregon Zoo. This species is&nbsp; native in Angola and in the wild, it is&nbsp; known to act in this peculiar way&nbsp; to crack open eggs&nbsp; by launching it in the air through its legs with its&nbsp; forepaws, just like a football center player would do when snapping the football back from the line of scrimmage.&nbsp;As you can see in the video clip provided by the Oregon Zoo, while snapping the plastic egg back, the dwarf mongoose is facing away from a rock. If the egg that it throws back were real, it would crack on impact.&nbsp; In this case, the activity not only provide a good “eggcercise” for the mongoose, it also help provide it with a simulation of what to do to feed in the wild.#mongoose #DwarfMongoose #football #egg #OregonZoo
