Black mongoose

The black mongoose (Galerella nigrata) is a species of mongoose found in northern Namibia and south-west Angola. Although originally described as a separate species by Thomas (1928), it was later often considered as a variant of the slender mongoose. However, recent genetic analysis has confirmed its status as a separate species.
