WILD PORTRAITS: Wild Animal, Bird & Insect Images > SLIM, THE BLACK-TIPPED MONGOOSE (8)
Slim is the name we have given to the Black-tipped mongoose which lives around the house (and frequently comes into the house) name for Black-Tips is "Slender Mongoose"...and you've got to admit, he's not exactly obese. The birds don't like him much, and always cluster around in bushes above him, shrieking out their alarm calls...

The Birds are not amused
The birds - in this case, two Bulbuls and a male Village Weaver - are not happy whenever Slim is around, and sit above him in the bushes, making their alarm calls. 22 October 2007 -
Still chattering with discontent
This male Village Weaver and the 2 Bulbuls behind won't let up until Slim has had his fill and goes on his way. 22 October 2007 -
