Black-tipped Mongoose

Description:

The color of their fur varies widely between subspecies, from a dark reddish-brown to an orange red, grey, or even yellow, but these mongooses can be distinguished from other mongooses due to the prominent black or red tip on their tails

Habitat:

This one was found in the semiarid desert of Tankwa National Park. The slender mongoose, with up to fifty subspecies, are found throughout sub-Saharan Africa, with the Black mongoose of Angola and Namibia sometimes considered a separate species. They are adaptable and can live nearly anywhere in this wide range, but are most common in the savannah and semiarid plains.
