Rarest Mammal in Kruger?

Post by Bush Brat »

I have always wondered what the rarest mammal in Kruger is and if I would ever see it...but I thought it would be nice to get other people's opinions on it! ;-)
I would say between the Brown Hyena, Aardwolf and Striped Polecat. How about you guys? 0()

Not nearly as rare as the brownie! \O


Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

I don't believe that the brownie is rare in KNP... I believe they are non existent O**
There was sighting by a ranger in 2001 I believe and apparently one then in 2010 so I think they only cruise through but one actually living in the Park -O-

Things that is actually rare in my eyes are the pangolin, aardvark, roan, sable... you don't see them every \O

A brownie has been sighted in the parks again a week or 2 ago.
Confirmed by a ranger. \O \O
