The Egyptian mongoose is native to Africa, the Iberian Peninsula, and the Mediterranean coast. They live across tropical grasslands, savannas, and thick shrublands in wet swamps and marshy areas near rivers.
These carnivores feed on rodents, fish, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fruits, insects and bird eggs. To crack the tough shells open, they throw them backward between their legs against a rock. Their main prey includes European rabbits, sand lizards, toads, shrews, ducks, mice, and rats.
Females give birth to a litter of two to four babies each spring. The mother raises the young inside a safe underground burrow.
