Kgalagadi MAMMAL Challenge - Fun & Drinks

[ExFmem]

I don’t think the totals were ever updated to include the last two I posted (10 + 45 = 55)….so…that leaves me 15 points behind Mel.

Yesterday I was trying to find pics for the Funny Photos topic and I found this one not previously entered:

2 in 1 - 20 points

Meerkat (Suricate)_Springbok


10/2014 Rooiputs area


I’m the new Champion of the World!!! (Okay, maybe Queen for a Day if I’m lucky to stay in front that long.)

I'll fix it in a moment, Mylady (I will be stepping in for Mel for a while)

Can anyone confirm this is a Namaqua Rock Mouse Micaelamys namaquensis ? It’s in our mammal checklist of the Kgalagadi, but we don’t have an entry yet, so no pic.

Comparing to the pics I have found on the Internet it is

Agree with Lis. The photos you get for this mouse seem to match.

Thanks ladies. Looked pretty obvious to me, but I always have to factor in my many mistakes over time.

Mel, you better hoof it to the KTP and get some mammal challenge pics ...I'm slowly upping my lead. (It's pretty easy when no one else is going there )

Nothing I'd like more than going back

But I also might have some aces up my sleeve... not sure I posted everything I got
