Banded mongoose (Mungos mungo) are a gregarious animals that, like some of their close relatives, use termite mounds for food and shelter. They are one of the few animals I've featured here that are not presently threatened or at risk of extinction, and a WWF map of the range of the species indicates that banded mongoose inhabit the majority of sub-Saharan Africa.
