Yellow mongoose
eat primarily invertebrate or insects; some of these
include ants, termites, beetles and locusts.
They have also been known to eat frogs, birds, lizards,
snakes, eggs, and small rodents.
(Look at this interesting
lizard and another one
here!)
Since the yellow mongoose is diurnal, which means
it is active during the day, most of
its day is spent foraging or acquiring food.
If the daytime becomes too hot when they are out hunting,
they may go back to
their burrows. It usually starts and ends its day with the sun, so as
the sun rises the yellow mongoose does also, and when the sun
sets the mongoose goes back to its burrow.
