For the same reason plural Moose are not Meese. Etymology: Marathi maṅgūs whereas goose/geese are from Old English– mplungjanMay 4, 2015 at 9:18

If you’re Jamaican, surely mengeese would be the ideal plural, mon.– Janus Bahs JacquetMay 4, 2015 at 9:22

Plural form is mongooses. If you check in any other dictionary apart from this one I included in my answer, you would find the same plural form. http://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/british/mongoose
