Dont know what it's called in English but Yoruba ppl call it "Asinko"

Lovexme:
Looks like a long-nosed Kusimanse from the Mongoose family.

You are 100% right. It's actually a species mongoose and is safe to eat. Those calling it the smelly shrew mouse don't know what they are seeing.

Floki737:

It's name is kusimanse and we call it ikpakpa in our dialect. They like moving en mass hunting for smaller animals to eat.

SenecaTheYonger:



You're telling me this fvcking niqqa just killed my childhood game character, Crash Bandicoot?

. Relax papi. Ur crash Bandicoot aint dead.

Jakumo:
That animal is one of the Mongoose varieties native to Nigeria. These ones move in groups of between ten and twenty family members, rummaging for food in the undergrowth. In Yoruba land, these animals go by the name of OTOLO.

The mongoose family are known for their snake-killing prowess, so the death of this mongoose will likely cause one of Nairaland's esteemed moderators to pause for a moment of sober reflection about the loss of a very capable and ferocious ally, in his fight against snakes.

Very true, watched a documentary on nat geo about this animal. It attacks poisonous snakes without fear, while attacking a cobra, d snake bit it but d animal just bit off d cobras head n was eating d snake like a snack when d venom took effect. D animal went down like it was dead, after about 1hr bros got up n continued frm where it stopped like nothing happened. Very interesting animal.
@saintbillion, this animal must have been protecting u n ur chickens frm snakes, now it's out of d way, expect venomous reptiles visitation.

XD3G:
That's a Shrew

That's not a shrew but a Kusimanse

Onyekachi419:

Kosoco:

I said I should use the space to ask a question. My cousin always makes sounds when sleeping, both at night n during the day. I get scared hearing it, like his in freight and I'll have to wake him up out of ear of the unknown. He'll wake up a and i expect him to say what the dream is all about but he won't and go back to sleep. Anyone who knows if it's health wise related or spiritual something?

Sometimes it's best not to wake him up while sometimes it's just the best thing to do.

saintbillion:
u sabi

hahahha.

Aimerosa25:
It's an anteater

Stop misleading people, common sense should let you know "anteater" mainly feeds on ants the above animal tried to attck op's chicken.... if you dont know you should kipqwayet

Two things are involved... He may be suffering from sleep apnea..... Try convincing him to sleep on his side and monitor him if the sound occurs again...

Secondly he may be having issues with some arteries in his body system which can eventually lead to cardiac arrest while sleeping...

Either ways... Please take him to a good doctor for diagnosis... Not having a sound sleep is a bad thing..

I didn't know NL is made up of Hunters..... Does that mean,We don't have Doctors, Engineers and other professions here?




No hard feelings.... Just Asking!!!!
