[calm music] They primarily feed on beetles and millipedes and live in colonies that create large networks of dens for shelter.
[calm music] Their long, strong claws allow them to dig and forage.
[calm music] You might mistake the banded mongoose for a meerkat and we can totally see why.
They look a lot alike and are in the same family of mammals, but they have a few differences, including a mongoose's pronounced black stripes and their habitat in the wild.
Mongooses live in a different region of Africa throughout much of the East, Southeast, and South Central Africa.
While meerkats only live in the Far South.
Here at the Houston Zoo, our colony of 13 banded mangoes live in the Children's Zoo.
[calm music] You can see them dig their tunnels and forage for their favorite foods, mealworms and crickets.
