Dwarf mongooses, the smallest species in the mongoose family, produce a number of diverse alarm-call types, with several being general and 2 indicating predator type. Furthermore, the specificity of their alarm-call types appears higher for aerial than terrestrial threats and, unlike other mongoose species, they seem to use the same alarm-call type for both physically present terrestrial predators and secondary cues of their presence.
