Bushy-tailed Mongoose Bdeogale crassicauda [2]

2 Liwonde 26th. These were identified by the guide as Mellers's Mongoose Rhynchogale melleri, however the one in the photo appears to be Bushy-tailed Mongoose. Many thanks to Clare Mateke, a mammalogist and artist from Zambia, for correcting this identification.
