Helogale parvula
Very cute but merciless little Mongoose. Typical rusty brown colour, long bushy tail and pink nose.
All kinds of habitat, scrub and savanah and woodland. This one was one of a pair, that were living in or nearby our urban garden on the Kawe beach coast. Most likely living in a vacant section nearby that was full of long grasses and palms.
This pair usually did a round of our garden every morning. The only other time i have seen dwarf Mongoose was in the Serengeti, but apparently they can be quite common in urban areas.
