Namibia is home to 34 terrestrial carnivore species - from Aardwolf to Zorilla (striped polecat), from the diminutive dwarf mongoose to the heavyweight lion, not to forget the world's fastest land mammal (cheetah) and the renowned ‘tough guy’ of the African savannah (honey badger). Each species is unique and fascinating in its own right; all of them are worth conserving as part of Namibia's natural heritage.
