Thank god we don't have to worry about what to do with the plural of "mongoose" since we don't have 'em on our north american traplines.

The same as deer and moose. The singular is also the plural.

I personally like using the term skun. I know it's totally wrong but feels so good to be overheard by suburbanites at work.
