Abstract

Crab-eating mongoose Herpestes urva is one of the least studied small mammal species of Nepal with very few confirmed locality records. This paper presents the new location of crab-eating mongoose from agricultural land adjacent to the Schima-Castanopsis-dominated forest habitat of Parbat District in Gandaki Province, Nepal. Three individuals of crab-eating mongoose were sighted and photographed at an altitude of 1,515 m on swampy agricultural land at the edge of a fragmented forest patch of Schima-Castanopsis-dominated forest in Arthar Village of Kushma Municipality.
