Two observations of Pousargues’s Mongoose Dologale dybowskii in Murchison Falls National Park, Uganda

Abstract

Pousargues’s Mongoose Dologale dybowskii is a little-known mongoose endemic to Central Africa. It is believed to be rare. This note describes observations, illustrated by photographs, of several individual animals that appear to be Pousargues’s Mongooses, in July and August 2021, in Murchinson Falls National Park, Uganda. The identification was made on the basis of size, colouring and behaviour.
