From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ansorge's Cusimanse or Angolan Cusimanse (Crossarchus ansorgei) is a species of small mongoose. There are two recognized subspecies: C. a. ansorgei, found in Angola and C. a. nigricolor, found in Zaire, which do not have overlapping ranges. They prefer rainforest type habitat, and avoid regions inhabited by humans. They grow to 12-18 inches in length, with a 6-10 inch long tail, and weigh 1-3 lb. Little is known about this species of cusimanse, and there are no estimates of its wild population numbers or status.
