Bdeogale is a genus of three species of mongoose native to the rainforests of central Africa and western Africa. They are primarily terrestrial and insectivorous.
Species
- Bushy-tailed mongoose, Bdeogale crassicauda - Kenya and Tanzania
- Jackson's mongoose, Bdeogale jacksoni - Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda
- Black-footed mongoose, Bdeogale nigripes - Angola, Cameroon, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, Democratic Republic of Congo and Nigeria
The Sokoke bushy-tailed mongoose, Bdeogale omnivora, is sometimes treated as a subspecies of B. crassicauda, but is treated as a separate species by the IUCN.[1]
Conservation status
The IUCN Red List lists B. jacksoni as vulnerable,[2] and B. crassicauda as endangered, due largely to habitat loss and fragmentation.[3]
