#KeeperPerspective Here is a look at one of the smallest residents of River’s Edge, the dwarf mongoose. From the visitor trail on a sunny day, you can see the mongoose out exploring, listening to the birds and soaking up the sun. Keepers provided insect puzzle feeders (boxes stuffed with hay and holes around the side) for enrichment in their indoor habitat. #BringTheStlZooToYou | Saint Louis Zoo

Dwarf mongooses, Africa’s smallest carnivores, live in groups of 12 to 15 individuals, and are highly social. Huddling together like this is common behavior for both sleeping and facing potential predators. There’s safety in numbers! Mongooses adhere to a hierarchy in which the oldest male and female are the alpha pair—the only ones allowed to breed within the group. In the wild, dwarf mongooses occasionally take over termite mounds—with their perfectly compartmentalized living quarters–and turn

Meet our new dwarf mongoose pups 🥰 The three babies were born in May and are growing up fast! They're now learning to be more independent and are starting to explore their habitat and play. Guests can spot them and the 10 other members of our dwarf mongoose family in the River's Edge area of the Zoo now. The dwarf mongoose is the smallest carnivore in Africa, with adults weighing in at only about one pound. They live in large family groups and are matrilineal, meaning females are dominant. List

Dwarf mongoose Cupcake is reaching for the stars! In the wild, mongooses spend much of their day foraging. To encourage Cupcake to use this natural behavior, keepers hung a multi-layered puzzle feeder in the exhibit. She must problem solve to get the tasty grapes and meal worms hidden inside! Every day at 10:30 a.m. and 2 p.m., chat with Small Mammal House keepers and make new animal friends.

May I introduce myself! I‘m a dwarf mongoose. 🥰 They feed on invertebrates such as beetles, their larvae, termites and grasshoppers. Insect prey is scavenged on the ground, and sometimes dug out. Small vertebrates are also taken on occasion. Troop members are always on the alert for predators while foraging. #mongoose #moments #beautiful #memories #bucketlist #naturelovers #naturephotography #ItsAllAboutTheWildlife #safari #meetsouthafrica #southafrica #wildlife #photosafari #africansafari #tra

The squirrel-sized mongoose is the smallest of the mongoose family. It is short and stocky, with a blunt, pointed muzzle and long tail. It’s usually a speckled-brown or reddish color. It preys primarily on insects…though it may eat rodents, lizards, snakes and even birds! Dwarf mongooses live in groups of 12 to 15, covering more t
