, ear 2:9.3-5 cm; weight 3-4 kg. A fairly large mongoose, with long guard hairs (dorsal hairs are 40-50 mm long) and a white neck stripe. The coat color varies from gray to blackish-brown, with individual hairs ringed black and white. The chin is white, the throatis grayish, the chest is dark brown, and the belly is a lighter brown. The top of the head is pale grayish-brown, finely speckled with white. The muzzle is pale yellowish; the nose is flesh-colored with a deep vertical groove. The ears are short, broad, and rounded, and are covered with very short grayish hairs. The color ofthe iris varies from egg-yellow to deep brown. There is a white stripe that starts at the corner of the mouth and runs along the neck to the shoulder; the stripe is about 9-10 cm long and

wide at the base. The limbs are brown to black. The feet have shallow interdigital webs and strong claws; the naked sole on the hindfoot only extends about two-thirds the distance to the heel. The tail is bushy and tapering, and averages 63% the length of the head and body;it is the same color as the body, but becomes progressively ocherous (sometimes reddish) towards the tip. The anal glands on each side of the anus are about the size of a cherry and produce an aqueous fetid secretion (which can be squirted out with great force). There are three pairs of teats. The skull is large and heavy, but with relatively small crests. The posterior chamber of the auditory bulla is less flat than in the Javan Mongoose and extends to well below the occipital condyle. Mature individuals have a complete occipital bony orbit, although this may be incomplete in immature mongooses. Dental formula: 13/3, C 1/1, P 4/4, M 2/2 = 40. The lower first premolar is inconspicuous and may be lacking in immatures; the last lower molar is small, but complex.

In terms of overall volume, crustaceans (29%) and insects (28%) were the highest, followed by amphibians (16%) and reptiles (14%). The diet appeared to vary with changes in the availability of food in different habitats and seasons; Crab-eating Mongooses ate more insects in summer and autumn, more crustaceans in winter, and more reptiles in late spring and early summer.

, the percentage occurrence of food items in scats was: 65% rodents, 48% beetles, 45% snakes, 44% crabs, 10% clams, 8% birds, 8% grass, and 7% cherokee rose fruit. A few other mammals, amphibians, frogs, fish, locusts, snails, centipedes, and fruits were found at low occurrence (less than 6%). Crab-eating Mongooses hunt along the banks of streams, feeling under stones, and in rock crevices, and scratch, dig and sniff at the ground. They are supposed to be good divers and swimmers and do not hesitate to enter water. Crabs and molluscs are taken with the forepaws and either lifted and smashed on a rock or thrown between the hindlimbs to a hard surface behind.
