Mongooses is correct plural.
rh- Sorry to disagree but I don’t believe that mongeese is a word. Source?

I’m gonna put in a vote for mongooxen.

Or perhaps Mongi.

you know, octopi?

@Chuck – My “Yes” links to the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary, which lists “mongeese” as a valid plural form of “mongoose.”

Although mongooses is the preferred term, especially since I can’t find a British English dictionary that lists “mongeese”, and well, I’m British. ;)

Besides, ‘mongeese’ makes me think of ‘sneezing’ for some reason.

Gesundheit!
And thanks.

I’m gonna go with mongooxen from now on. Thanks Fieryspoon.

That solve the sneezing problem, richardhenry?
