Yellow mongooses are a study model at the Kalahari Research Center

This yellow mongoose is only a few weeks old. With its siblings, this young individual was hanging around the entrance of their sleeping burrow, waiting for their mother to return from foraging. The photo was taken at sunset, in the Kalahari desert, in February 2024. At the Kalahari Research Center, researchers are interested in deciphering how yellow mongooses communicate through their the production of vocalisations.
