Aw shucks. Thank you all for the compliments. I'm glad you enjoy my threads.
Cape Grey Mongoose (
Galerella pulverulenta)
Sorry about the poor quality of this picture. It was the only one I could find. :/
The cape grey mongoose lives in southern Africa, and is solitary.
Slender Mongoose (
Galerella sanguinea)
The slender mongoose can be found in most parts of Africa. It tends to live either in pairs, or alone, and is more arboreal than other mongooses. They climb trees like squirrels, and catch birds in them. In fact, it is often mobbed and divebombed by birds because it poses a threat. It will freeze at the first sign of danger, and dive for cover if threatened.
