\O Great.

I found them in Marievale. So much easier to spot in winter when they do their grass burning. \O

I think they react the same as other mongooses in the semi-wild.

As long as it is quiet they trust all is safe. I normally switch off my car and allow it to free to a stop. ;-)

I love this animal, it is so cute and is rather tame.
