Daily Animal Sketch – Dwarf Mongoose Pups
Studies of Dwarf Mongoose pups. To my surprise, mongooses are NOT part of the Mustelidae family, despite their somewhat weasel-like appearance. Instead, Mongooses belong to their own family, Herpestidae, which also includes the Meerkat.
The Dwarf Mongoose is Africa’s smallest carnivore.

Great drawings! Love the style and the overall playful expression on the bottom left – Glad to see someone draw the otherwise obscure Dwarf Mongoose
