Pousargues's mongoose (Dologale dybowskii), also known as the African tropical savannah mongoose, is a mongoose native to Central Africa. It is listed as data deficient on the IUCN Red List as little is known about its distribution and ecology.[1] It is the only species in the genus Dologale.[2]
Up to the late 20th century, it was known from only around 30 zoological specimens in natural history museum collections.[2]
