It has also been introduced to Hawaii, the Bahamas, Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, the Lesser Antilles, Belize, Honduras, Panama, Trinidad and Tobago, Colombia, Suriname, Venezuela, Guyana and Mafia Island.〔LONG JL 2003. Introduced Mammals of the World: Their History, Distribution and Influence (Cabi Publishing) by John L. Long (ISBN 9780851997483)〕 The western subspecies group is sometimes treated as a separate species, the Indian mongoose or small Indian mongoose (''Herpestes palustris'').
==Description==
This species of mongoose is sympatric with ''Herpestes edwardsii'' in much of its native range and can be readily distinguished from the latter species by its much smaller size.
The body is slender and the head is elongated with a pointed snout. The lengths of the head and body is 509-671mm. The ears are short. They have five toed feet with long claws. The sexes differ in size with males having a wider head and bigger size.〔Nellis, D. W (1989) Herpestes auropunctatus. Mammalian species 342:1–6 (PDF )〕
They use about 12 different vocalizations.〔Mulligan, B E and D W Nellis (1973) Sounds of the Mongoose Herpestes auropunctatus. J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 54(1):320-320〕
