Nothing can compare Rikki Tikki-Tavi’s sacrifice, dedication, and effort to killing the snakes. Because Rikki-Tikki-Tavi is an intelligent and outgoing person he helps his family stay out of danger.

Bravery is what helped Rikki the most “Rikki-Tikki had sprung, jumped on the snake’s back, dropped his head far between his forelegs,
bitten as high up the back as he could get hold, and rolled away.”( Kipling, 127) This brought out his inner courage to go out and fight a 5-foot cobra and think he’s going to come back out alive. He also told everyone who's boss and is going to fight for his family in return of feeling great about being a hero. Rikki, being able to jump and bite the snake was incredible for his small mongoose sized legs and arms. “Rikki Tikki Tavi killed the snakes because he wanted to protect his family from any harm,” in the bungalow Rikki-Tikki -Tavi fights the cobra and has the opportunity to save his family's life as well as keeping his home safe.
