Re: AW Animal Checklist of Kgalagadi Challenge
I like the way you think! I should have withheld the Rock Hyrax and held out for WAY more $$$. I'm so easy
Re: AW Animal Checklist of Kgalagadi Challenge
Looks like my link to your article didn't work , can you please "fix" it for me, as my SO is clamoring for dinner, and if I don't sign off I'm gonna be abandoned and have to move in with you. Night, night
Re: AW Animal Checklist of Kgalagadi Challenge
You're welcome, ExFmem, just knock on the door, but don't expect too much in terms of catering you'll get sandwiches and salads only

Re: AW Animal Checklist of Kgalagadi Challenge
Another really rare sighting seen is the banded mongoose. Also not on the list.
No pix from my side though as I wasn't the lucky one.

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

Have a look here, ExFmem: http://www.koedoe.co.za/index.php/koedo ... e/923/1057ExFmem wrote:Acacia Rat Thallomys paedulcus or Black-tailed Tree Rat Thallomys nigricaudatus (?)
These two rats are very similar in appearance and occur over much of the same range, but have been shown to be genetically distinct. Any further info. is welcome.
So I think, we label the rat as Black-tailed Tree Rat (Acacia Rat) Thallomys paedulcus
http://www.iucnredlist.org/details/6443/0
Taxonomic Notes: Thallomys paedulcus possibly represents a complex of several similar species. Further studies are needed to clarify the taxonomic status of populations currently allocated to this species.

We could aslo add Chacma Baboon as rare one
