Yellow mongoose

            The yellow mongoose (Cynictis penicillata), sometimes referred to as the red meerkat, averages about 0.45 kg  in weight and about 510 mm in length. 
It lives in open country, semi-desert scrubland and grasslands in Angola, Botswana, South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe.

De vosmangoest of rode meerkat (Cynictis penicillata) is ondanks zijn gelijkenis daarmee geen vos, maar een mangoest.
De pelskleur verschilt per verspreidingsgebied. Zuidelijke soorten hebben een geelkleurige vacht terwijl noordelijke soorten een grijskleurige vacht hebben. De korte ronde oren en de dikke staart versterken de gelijkenis met de vos. 
De lichaamslengte bedraagt 40 cm. De staartlengte is 30 cm.
De vosmangoest leeft in zuidelijk Afrika in Angola, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibië, Zuid-Afrika, Swaziland en Zimbabwe en wordt vaak vergezeld door stokstaartjes.
