Animals photography! All pictures mine unless stated otherwise. I'm a hobby photographer who loves taking pictures of animals (mostly at zoos) and I wanted to share them with other people. Not an expert on animals either, please let me know if I get anything wrong!I'm Dark (they/them), and you can also find me on my main (@darknymfa)!

Ring-tailed vontsira (Galidia elegans), family Eupleridae
Although sometimes known as the ring-tailed mongoose, they are Malagasy carnivorans, a family closely related to true mongooses. The ring-tailed vontsira is the only species within its genus.
Dierenpark Zie-ZOO, taken January 2025
#animals#zoo#zoo photography#nature#ring-tailed vontsira#Galidia elegans#eupleridae#Malagasy carnivorans#euplerids#dierenpark zie-zoo#the (breeding) male is missing a front paw. there was a sign up but Iiii don't remember exactly what was on it. my bad.#either way he can still get around fine. very zippy animal.#fascinatingly their page on the zoo's website claims they're nocturnal. and wikipedia says they're diurnal.#either way they are always very active when visiting. in the semi-dark attic space.

Common dwarf mongoose (Helogale parvula), family Herpestidae (mongooses)
Their fur color ranges from yellowish red to very dark brown. Zie-ZOO's mongooses are all on the lighter end of the spectrum, as seen in the photos above.

#animals#zoo#zoo photography#nature#common dwarf mongoose#Helogale parvula#herpestidae#mongooses#mongoose#dierenpark zie-zoo#honestly I had no idea they came in other shades than this orange-brown. thought I was on the wrong Wikipedia page when I saw the photo lol#also I love how visibly their oddly shaped pupils are.
