Flutts, there is another place name linked to an animal - Bakoor

This is a windmill south of Shingwedzi named after the bat-eared fox (Afrikaans name)

[Klipspringer]

There were several records of bat-eard foxes around Shingwedzi in 1967 and 1969, but nothing recent

Added to the list.

As a reminder....

Please note that we have added another category to the challenge.

If you have a picture of a mammal at a location with the same name, you will get an extra 50 points. For example, if you have a picture of a zebra at Kwaggaspan you will get 10 + 50 = 60.
