noun

マダガスカルマングース

Any species of Malagasy mongoose; only distantly related to the Herpestidae, these are members of the family Eupleridae; they resemble mongooses in appearance and habits, but have larger ears and ringed tails.

Examples :

"While both resemble mongooses, researchers studying the biodiversity of Madagascar discovered that the mongooses they observed actually belonged to a different family, Eupleridae, distinguished by their larger ears and ringed tails. "

どちらもマングースに似ていますが、マダガスカルの生物多様性を研究している研究者たちは、観察したマングースが実際には別の科であるユープレリ科に属しており、大きな耳と輪状の尾で区別されることを発見しました。
