Unlike other otters the Cape Clawless Otter has almost no webbing on its feet which is really odd for an aquatic animal such as this one. As well, they have no claws (obviously) which makes their hands surprisingly similar to a monkey’s hands.

One last spoor for the old year found in KTP:



Which animal walked here?

[Sprocky]

Sorry for only posting now, I see you posted this pic last year already. -O

Cheetah??

[Bushveld Jock]

Another year has past and only one answer. Happy New Year and all the best for 2012.



Sorry Sprocky this is not a cheetah.


First clue: This is no laughing matter. -O -O -O

Ok then it must be Hyena.

[Amoli]

Think so too

[Bushveld Jock]

Hyena is correct but which one and how will I know it. (Its not in the size and it will be difficult to tell from the picture, but there is some clues when you see these footprints in the veld)

[Amoli]

I think it is the brown hyena. In Afrikaans it's other name is Strandjutwolf -

It is at home in sand like areas.
