猫鼬科，Herpestidae，包括几个物种，包括最社会的小型食肉动物。爪哇猴Herpestes javanicus（E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire，1818），一种南亚物种，已被引入许多加勒比海和太平洋岛屿，尚未报道显示复杂的社会性。一项在夏威夷奥陶洛斯进行的无线电追踪研究显示，在繁殖季节，研究区域内至少有5只，甚至可能超过10只的大型雄性共同拥有一个单一的大型活动范围。这个群体的成员在20米范围内花费的时间比预期的要多得多。群体成员经常共享巢穴，彼此睡在50厘米以内。女性保持非常小，重叠的家庭范围内的男性群体的范围。雄性繁殖联盟以前曾在一个同源物种中报道过，细长的mongooseHerpestes sanguineus。
The mongoose family, Herpestidae, includes several species that comprise the most social small Carnivora. The small Indian mongooseHerpestes javanicus (E. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1818), a South Asian species that has been introduced to numerous Caribbean and Pacific islands, has not been reported to show complex sociality. A radio-tracking study conducted on Oahu, Hawaii, revealed that a group of at least 5, and perhaps more than 10, large males in the study area shared a single, large home range during the breeding season. Members of this group spent far more time than expected within 20 m of fellow members. Group members frequently shared dens, sleeping within 50 cm of each other. Females maintained very small, overlapping home ranges inside the male group’s range. Male breeding coalitions have previously been reported in a congeneric species, the slender mongooseHerpestes sanguineus.
