Dwarf Mongoose - Helogale parvula


This is a picture of them when they are fully gorwn. When they are fully grown they wiegh approximately 0.455kg with a total length of 150mm/15cm. Life expectency is around 8 years and they are carnivores....my best friends. They live on insects, reptiles, small birds, but also eat fruit to look after their diets. Definately one of the cutest creatures I've seen in my life. Edina, remember we saw them fully grown at the crocodile park back in Mauritius! Posted by Picasa
