The flat-headed kusimanse (Crossarchus platycephalus) is a mongoose species endemic to West African rainforests.

[1] The species is native to central Africa extends from southern Benin and southern Nigeria via Cameroon to the Central African Republic and the northwest of the Republic of the Congo.

[2] The species is very similar to the dark kusimanse[clarification needed], but differ in skull.

They are probably diurnal and live in groups that roam around their territory without a fixed structure.

They look for food, invertebrates and small vertebrates, on the forest floor or in rotted tree trunks.
