We saw three different species of mongoose on this last trip to Kenya. This is the dwarf mongoose. I’ve photographed these guys before, but not standing like this. We saw them in both the Masai Mara and in Samburu where this image was captured. We also saw the banded mongoose and the white-tailed mongoose.Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 500mm PF lens, ISO 640, f/5.6 at 1/1600th of a second.

What kind of band is the banded mongoose in? Is it Ska? I love Ska.
They are really fun to watch. This one looks to be doing his best meerkat impression. Are they related?
