Waar om die White-tailed Mongoose in Suid-Afrika te sien

Hosts on Spekboom have recorded the White-tailed Mongoose at stays in or beside Kruger National Park, uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park, Golden Gate Highlands National Park, Giants Castle Game Reserve, Harold Johnson Nature Reserve and Ithala Game Reserve and other reserves. A record means a host has seen it on the property or nearby, which makes these the places to base yourself; it is never a guarantee of a sighting on any given day.

The White-tailed Mongoose is most recorded in KwaZulu-Natal (36% of records), Mpumalanga (31% of records), Limpopo (19% of records), based on 205 iNaturalist observations. 59 places to stay on Spekboom in South Africa have recorded the White-tailed Mongoose on site or nearby.

The White-tailed Mongoose is recorded throughout the year, so no month is the wrong month to look for it. For the parks where hosts record it most, these are the best seasons they give. Kruger National Park: Apr-Sep; uKhahlamba-Drakensberg Park: year-round, dry season May-Sep; Golden Gate Highlands National Park: Mar-May, Aug-Oct; Giants Castle Game Reserve: year-round, dry season May-Sep. In the dry months animals concentrate at water and the grass is short.

The White-tailed Mongoose (Ichneumia albicauda) is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List.

The white-tailed mongoose (Ichneumia albicauda) is on average the largest species in the mongoose family (Herpestidae). It is the only member of the genus Ichneumia.
