Wish I could sit next to you and watch how much you are enjoying this ..

Score points added. $\O$

I think that is a water mongoose...

I also think it could be a water mongoose - looks a bit small to be an otter.

I'll make the antelope a common duiker and the "otter" a water mongoose

Hello Rietvlei nutties

Can we have perhaps pics of males and females for the species where sexes don't look alike

Anyone for a waterbuck lady perhaps

And some babies would be nice, too

Some babies...

Does a baby's bum count?

Post by **Toko** » Wed Nov 13, 2013 3:11 pm

Does not count

It's not apt for visitors to ID an animal

And the wildebeest is not a baby, but a youngster

try again, Flutty
