Common Kusimanse

A Cusimanse at DZP. It would have made an interesting exhibit had these been put in the agouti enclosure (they are forest-dwellers, after all) but instead they are in a rather small indoors area. October 2009.

The mongoose are predators. Would they not attack and eat any baby agoutis that DZP produced?

Although I am not sure it would have been a problem (dwarf mongoose have been kept with rock hyrax at San Diego for years) I meant put the Cusimanse in the agouti enclosure instead of the agouti, this was simply because it was the closest wooded enclosure for a small mammal. Sorry if this was unclear.
