An evaluation of techniques for capturing and radio-collaring large grey mongooses

Techniques for capturing and radio-collaring large grey mongooses, Herpestes ichneumon are presented and evaluated. Two trapping techniques were used, a general one, applied to catch any mongoose, and a specific one, applied to recapture already known individuals in dens. With the first method, 25 m...
