What time did you get to see them two?

I had heard that a brown hyena had been seen on a camera trap in the south of the park a couple of years ago - it was a total surprise to the park staff. But I haven't heard of anyone actually seeing one during the day before. Aardwolf can be found, but it's just a case of luck with them. They're so shy that they don't normally come too close to the roads, but I know a few people who have seen them in Addo on other occasions.

The brownie showed up at 8:20am and we had about 5 minutes watching it move across a hillside. The aardwolf popped out onto the road at 12:30pm which for a nocturnal creature is certainly a bit unusual

Which goes to show that those critters don't read the textbooks written about them.

This is really cool! And the SO is impressed.

Saturday was a very wet start to the day. Jackals are often out and about in the rain - more of their food seems to come out. The drops on the tall grass made for an unusual portrait

I did not know that you have snow at Addo

Wow! Should go to sptimes/Wild?

You should submit your rare sightings to 50/50.

I've sent a couple of messages off to sanparks times and 50|50
