lxcuna: A - Z Challenge: @ibuzoo​ vs @lxcuna​ [ I ] chneumon: in Medieval literature, this creature was the natural enemy of dragons, as well as crocodiles and asps. It is also, supposedly, one of the few that can look at a cockatrice without being turned to stone. Most likely, the animal being referred to in Medieval texts by this name was the mongoose. -- source link
