Field Notes

Description:

Banded mongoose band together in groups of up to 40 individuals. Foraging and sleeping together

Lake Burunge camp. With Lake Burunge completely dry, the manmade water holes drew quite the parade of wildlife easily visible from the bar deck.

Notes:

The group moved quickly in and quickly out

Thank you. Had we not been lounging on the deck we wouldn't have seen them at all.
