There was a pic somewhere of this one and I was convinced that it was a cat, but where did I see it :-?

Röper Botes Photography is at Kruger National Park.
3 hrs · Skukuza
Not the best photos but definitely one of the most amazing sightings yet for me...Black Cat on H1-5 between S91 and S39

That serval looks kinda strange… But nevertheless an extremely special encounter O:V


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
