We see several species of mongooses on our tours to Africa. This is the dwarf mongoose — the one we most commonly see around the tented areas of the camps we stay at. I always have my eye out — and camera in hand — when walking to and from lunch in the middle of the day. Nikon Z8 with Nikkor 180-600mm lens (at 600mm) ISO 2000, f/6.3 at 1/200th of a second.

They have sweet little faces.
I definitely agree. Always love seeing and photographing these guys. Especially when they show up just outside of our tents.
I agree Sue, looks to be a smile on its face.
