Cusimanse – Central Africa
The cusimanse is a fascinating small carnivorous mammal that belongs to the mongoose family and is native to Africa. These social animals live in groups and use a variety of vocalizations to communicate with one another. They are agile hunters, preying on insects, rodents, birds, and reptiles, and are known for their flexibility and ability to climb trees.
In North America and Europe, these creatures are kept as exotic pets due to their playful and curious nature. They require an environment that closely mimics their natural habitat. They need a spacious enclosure with plenty of hiding spots, climbing structures, and substrate to burrow in.
