Species of mongoose from Somalia
The Somalian slender mongoose (Herpestes ochraceus) is a small mammal found in Somalia and adjacent regions.[1] It is a small to medium-sized carnivoran, averaging about 0.6 kg (1.3 lb) in weight.[3]
It was first described by John Edward Gray in 1848, based on a male brownish yellow mongoose collected in Somalia.[4]
