Agreed, Tsessebe! I posted a lovely pic of a Lichtenstein's near P'kop in a trip report a few years back. I'll check if I can dig it up.

I'd go with tssessebee too, great sighting

could it be a Brants' Whistling Rat (or Woosnam's Desert Rat) ?
short tail, round ear, white circle eyes





thanks in advance

Any idea what kind of mongoose this might be?
I've been up and down this forum and on google,
but can't come up with an ID.





Seeing that it is still early night, maybe a lrge grey mongoose?
Or a Meller's?
Or...?

seems to be high on the legs
and very grey... sorry don't know

and the rat just before... nobody know

Hi anne-marie

Having nosed around a little I think that is a Brant's whistling rat, like you suggested. Sharp eyes!

Lionspoon, it certainly looks very much like a large grey mongoose. If that's right, I think these sightings in the past few days have been a camming first

thank you very much Tom

Hi,

This antelope was seen at Mokala in December. Can someone please tell me what it is. Apologies for the poor quality pic but it was very far away.

Someone suggested it was a black springbok. Could that be the correct ID?

Thanks

It looks like a black Springbuck....................

I didn't know there was Black Sprinbkoks... superb

It sure is a Black springbok

Just a pity about the QT very rare sight

It certainly looks like one.

The black sprinbok is actually a normal springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis) which has been bred into a black and a white variety. So it is not a separate (sub-) species.
Better not google it, most of the pages you find are hunting ones.

I saw... few days ago

Thanks all for confirmation on the black springbok.

I did Google it and found some interesting info on both black and white springbok.

Can't believe that people would want to hunt these beautiful animals! Grrr!

Please could someone help me identify what this is??
