Dwarf mongoose drawing by wildlife artist Martin Aveling.

Dwarf mongoose pups emerging from the burrow.

Welcome to #MongooseMonday for all the info & pictures you didn't realise you needed!

Dwarf mongooses are Africa's smallest carnivore - upright, adults are the size of a 500 ml bottle; pups are tiny bundles of fun.

Thanks #MartinAveling for the drawing & @josharbon.bsky.social for the photo.
