In The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling, what kind of creature is Rikki-Tikki-Tavi?
"bird of prey which feeds almost exclusively on snakes.) The Mayans also had the legend of ophiophagy in their folklore and mythology. Guatemala may derive its name from the Nahuatl word ""coactlmoctl-lan"", meaning ""land of the snake-eating bird."" Christian scripture associates snakes with evil (see serpent) and considers anything that destroys them good. An example for this tradition is Rudyard Kipling's short story ""Rikki-Tikki-Tavi"" (in ""The Jungle Book""), in which Rikki-Tikki, a mongoose, defends a human family against a pair of evil cobras. In Hindu and Buddhist folklore, Garuda, the mount of Vishnu, is the enemy to the Nāgas, a"
