Herpestidae
Slender carnivorous mammals that hunt rodents and snakes — beneficial predators that occasionally become urban nuisances near waste and food storage.
30–76 cm (12–30 in); 2.3–5.5 kg
Long slender body with short legs, bushy tail, small alert eyes, and a long narrow snout for hunting.
Small mammals, insects, birds, reptiles, and eggs. Will scavenge food waste in urban environments.
Agile climbers and fast runners. Mostly solitary; some species form small groups. Adaptable to urban settings.
Hidden corners — storage areas, under heavy machinery, around debris piles, drains, and facility perimeters.
Generally non-aggressive toward humans but can carry parasites and bite if cornered. Useful predators of rodents and snakes.
