      I know that I am just looking at a photograph, but I have to say, that is the largest Dwarf mongoose exhibit that I have ever seen. Do you happen to know the square footage of this exhibit?

      @UngulateNerd92 I am not sure but something like 250 m2. This enclosure can be compare with Nuremberg's one for meerkats (larger but for a larger species).

      It's really a pleasure to see the 30 mongooses living here. The only bad point for me if that you never see them without glass.

      @Antoine ah very interesting. I think I saw photos of the glass enclosure area for the dwarf mongooses that you are referring to. I am going to call this the best dwarf mongoose exhibit I have ever seen.

      @UngulateNerd92 I forgot to mention that I took this photo up on a rock where visitors are not really allowed to go :confused:
