==Distribution and habitat==
 
The common dwarf mongoose is primarily found in dry [[grassland]], open forests, and [[bush land]], up to 2,000 m in altitude. It is especially common in areas with many [[termite]] mounds, their favorite sleeping place. The species avoids dense forests and deserts. The common dwarf mongoose can also be found in the surroundings ofnear settlements, and can become quite tame.
