Rarest Mammal in Kruger?
Rarest Mammal in Kruger?
I have always wondered what the rarest mammal in Kruger is and if I would ever see it...but I thought it would be nice to get other people's opinions on it!

Re: Rarest Mammal in Kruger?
I saw an Aardvark, with Raymond, around Berg-en-Dale 
I tried to have a picture, but the lamp was not so well holding
... and I've got only ears

Rarest mammal in Kruger? Hmz - no idea, but I'd guess brown hyena. 
God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

Not nearly as rare as the brownie!Bush Brat wrote:What about Roan Antelope?
Sometimes it’s not until you don’t see what you want to see, that you truly open your eyes.

Re: Rarest Mammal in Kruger?
I don't believe that the brownie is rare in KNP... I believe they are non existent 
There was sighting by a ranger in 2001 I believe and apparently one then in 2010 so I think they only cruise through but one actually living in the Park
Things that is actually rare in my eyes are the pangolin, aardvark, roan, sable... you don't see them every

A brownie has been sighted in the parks again a week or 2 ago.
Confirmed by a ranger.
