Pousargues's mongoose

Pousargues's mongoose, Dologale dybowskii, also known as the African tropical savannah mongoose, is a mongoose native to Central Africa and the only species in the genus Dologale. Its range runs from northern Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan through the Central African Republic to western Uganda. It is brown with a grey belly and face, a bushy tail and strong claws on the front feet, with a body length of 25 to 33 centimeters and a tail of 16 to 23 centimeters. It was first described in 1893 from specimens collected in 1892, and a genetic study found it to be the sister species of the genus Helogale. It is listed as data deficient on the IUCN Red List because little is known about its distribution and ecology.
