Description:

By using radio-tracking to analyse habitat preferences of grey mongooses Herpestes ichneumon (Linnaeus, 1758) at the Dońana Biological Reserve, we have distinguished eight habitat types in order of ground cover vegetation density. Three mongooses (two adult and a young female) were radiotracked on foot at close range by twenty-eight 24-hour periods between October '85 and April '86, as that the habitat occupied at any moment was known. We compared the availability and use of each habitat type by Jacobs index (D).
