The Yellow Mongoose’s coat colour varies: in the southern distribution area they have a reddish-yellow coat, in northern South Africa a more yellow-gray colour. Some animals summer and winter coats also change colours. During the summer, they have a reddish coat, which fades significantly in winter.
The diurnal Yellow Mongoose stay in their burrows at night. They use old burrows from other animals, like ground squirrels and spring bunnies. Or, together with their relatives, they move in with meerkats to form a little community.
