Dwarf Mongooses

These adorable dwarf mongooses are the smallest carnivores in Africa, Asia and other countries. They are social creatures that live in groups of two to thirty in dry grassland, brushland and mountain scrub.

The dominate female is usually the leader of the group. All members cooperate in helping to rear the babies and guard the group from predators.

Most of their day is spent looking for food among brush, leaves and rocks. They diet mostly on insects with small vertebrates, eggs, and fruit.

    I think they are breaking the law in the countries they inhabit. Bring them over here and they would make a very powerful political organization. Just kidding!

    Cool. They seem very calm and relaxed. It looks like the two are fascinated by whatever they are looking at. Are the ones in the image adults or babies?

    They look to me like they'd be babies, but I don't know for sure. My guess is they're either looking out of curiosity or for predators. They are cute little things. Hope they don't get eaten.
