Mongoose discovered in Kagoshima
An examination of some roadkill has confirmed the presence of a wild mongoose in Kyushu:
Although they have yet to capture any living mongooses in the area, the dead mongoose found in Kagoshima raises fears that the alien species somehow made its way to Kyushu via Okinawa. Because the introduction of such a predator into the local ecosystem could reek havoc, it is illegal to import/breed/sell mongooses in Japan.
Photos posted on the internet and eyewitness accounts point towards the conclusion that there could be more wild mongooses in the Kagoshima area.
