What do you think is the rarest mammal in all of SANParks? I have a few ideas, but I would first like to hear your's.

I'd place Brown Hyena in the top 10.

Aren't they common in KTP?

What about pangolin

I think that they are only found there so overall are rare if compared to other species which are found in all the other Sanparks.

I'll add White Lions!

If birds were included I will say Bearded Vulture and Egyptian vulture.

Gail

My bet would be riverine rabbit

I think it is not found in a SANpark, is it?

Think Jeanus might be right Karoo National Park.........

And what about the Black Footed Cat Felis Nigripes?

It is difficult to distinguish between rare and difficult to see.
I suppose there are a fair number of pangolin around Sanparks but they are just very difficult to see as they are mostly nocturnal.

Juliana's golden-moles are very rare (critically endangered) and difficult to see, they live completely underground. There is one of only three populations in KNP.

mmm for me very easy.... for me the Caracal.... they never showed themselves to me

Toko, didn't know about the golden mole and must be difficult to keep track of them.
