Helpful Posts: Hi,
THis little fellow is a yellow mongoose. Unlike his Indian relatives, he lives off insects not snakes. They are not rare, but being small, one mostly sees the from above. So, I think this is quite an unusual picture.

Re: Yellow mongoose
This looks badly over sharpened, but the original didn't.. Any thoughts?

Re: Yellow mongoose
Pretty little guy. Shot in Africa? It doesn't look over sharpened to me. There's just a lot of small detail all over, ground, fur, branches... Nicely done.

Re: Yellow mongoose
+1 to Dan's comments. Good shot in bad lighting. It certainly give us a good idea of the habitat.
