Ruddy mongoose

The ruddy mongoose (''Herpestes smithii'') is a species of mongoose found in hill forests of peninsular India and Sri Lanka. This mongoose along with the striped-necked mongoose are the only mongoose species endemic to India and Sri Lanka.
The ruddy mongoose is a very closely related to Indian grey mongoose, but distinguished by its slightly larger size and black tipped tail extending for 2 to 3 inches at the distal end. There are two sub-species of this mongoose, ''H. smithii smithii'' in India, and ''H. smithii zeylanicus'' (Thomas, 1852) in Sri Lanka.〔Choudhury, A., Wozencraft, C., Muddapa, D. & Yonzon, P. 2008. . In: IUCN 2008. 2008 IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. . Downloaded on 27 January 2009.〕〔http://www.wii.gov.in/envis/envisdec99/ruddymongoose.htm〕
The ruddy mongoose is mainly a forest living animal in contrast to the grey and small Indian mongooses and prefers more secluded areas. They have also been recorded from secluded paddy fields and in comparatively open fields. Like other mongooses, it hunts by day and by night.〔ISBN 019562169-7 The Book of Indian Animals, SH Prater, 3rd ed〕
==In Culture==
In Sri Lanka this animal is called ''mugatiya'' by the Sinhala speaking community. Usually regarded as an unlikable animal and a pest. The golden palm civet (''Paradoxurus zeylonensis''), altogether a different species endemic to Sri Lanka, is also called ''hotambuwa'' due to similar appearance and coloration.
