Herpestes ichneumon
Ngorongoro Conservation Area, Aberdare National Park and Garden Route National Park are among five atlas places where the Egyptian Mongoose is recorded. Its records concentrate in Spain, Israel, Kenya, Uganda and Benin, with about 710 records across 16 countries.
Because this mammal is recorded in both hemispheres, seasons differ by region and each place page shows the months recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Egyptian Mongoose as much as where it lives. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
