Slender Mongoose - Cynictis penicillataMongoose always appear to be in a hurry and are often seen dashing across a road or oother open area. They are yellow to red-brown in colour and the black tip to the long tail is diagnostic. Unafraid of snakes, the slender mongoose will attack both cobras and mambas. They are found almost everywhere in southern Africa wherever they can find suitable cover and food. A very common resident to Botswana. Slender mongoose will feed on snakes, birds eggs, hatchlings, insects, rodents, and sometimes reptiles.
