The Dung Party!
The Banded mongoose (Mungos mungo) are found in Africa, south of the Sahara, except for the Congo and southwestern Africa. They live in open habitat in grasslands, brush lands, woodlands and rocky country. They have a large range and may travel more than 5 miles a day to forage.
They generally stay in one particular den for a few days at a time, a week at most, and will frequently return to favorite sites. While they are able to dig their own burrows, these mongooses will usually use a natural crevice or an existing hole created by another animal.
This Mongoose family came across a heap of elephant dung and immediately surrounded it and started eating, captured during a photography Safari on an early morning game drive in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, Kenya.
