This led me to my own little (non-frightening) hunt from learning that Rudyard Kipling's stories were used as a foundation for the boy scouts (authorized by Kipling), to Rikki Tikki Tavi, to learning that mongooses are more closely related to hyenas than weasels...

A great clip. Perhaps this is how I should say what I'm reading next time.

Yeah, I only just learned about the Kipling-Cub Scouts connection, with the Scout leader sometimes called "Akela" after the leader of the pack (vroom, vroom... sorry).
Happy reading!!
