The dwarf mongoose has the distinction of being the smallest carnivore in Africa. They mostly eat insects like grasshoppers, beetles and spiders, but will occasionally grab a smaller bird or lizard. The light wasn’t great when I came across this one in the Okavango Delta of Botswana, but I was able to get a few shots in in even — if not ideal — light.
Craner, you know I don’t post everyday but I have to say that I am disappointed in your faithful fans that did not comment on the last Macaque, nor the red fox but yet you get a ton of comments on a bird, albeit a cool looking bird even Joelsie commented but I think people must be dozing.
Hahaha. My bad Mo, my bad! Things have been crazy at work these days. Someone’s gotta work on Playtex tampons! LOL
Loving this mongoose by the way, even if lighting is not ideal. I think the sandy hair is gorgeous! 😀

His texture looks all sandy, kind of gross (sorry mongoose).
