Well, I pictured Ichneumia albicauda, the White-tailed Mongoose. But we can get even closer to Ichy's moniker with the Egyptian Mongoose, Herpestes ichneumon. However I would never denigrate Ichy by relegating him to the merely generic or species level. I'm pretty sure that Ichy named himself for the very unmongoose-like critters of FAMILY Ichneumonidae. E.g.:

"FAMILY Ichneumonidae"

Thanks. I forgot the insectivora. I am better informed.

Gadfly comes to mind for Ichy--keeping us on our toes.
