This paper interrogates the philosophical quandaries of mongoose existence, identity and purpose in the animal kingdom. Drawing on the works of Sartre, Camus, and Nietzsche, we argue that the absence of intrinsic meaning in the mongoose's life raises fundamental questions about the absurdity of existence. Our analysis reveals that the mongoose embodies the very essence of existentialism – a pursuit for truth, authenticity, and freedom in a meaningless world. We conclude that, as with humans, it is ultimately up to the mongoose to create their own meaning in the face of the void.
