Description
Alert dwarf mongoose (Helogale parvula) near a termite mound. This small carnivore is highly social, living in large groups of up to 20 individuals. Mongoose colonies occupy old termite nests or the burrows of other animals, which they adapt to their own requirements. The dwarf mongoose has keen eyesight and uses the top of termite mounds as a lookout post, watching for predators and other marauding mongoose colonies. If the alarm is given, the young are taken inside to safety. Photographed in Tanzania
