It went up the tree - very fast. suffragette Nov 2016 #24
Just saw what looked like a lemur. VERY cool and relaxing pastime. nolabear Nov 2016 #25
I think you're right..the tail is so unusual. likesmountains 52 Nov 2016 #27
Maybe a genet? suffragette Nov 2016 #29
I think you're right! Looked much more like this and moved like a civet cat. nolabear Nov 2016 #43

yes, something came on the scene..I couldn't tell what for sure. likesmountains 52 Nov 2016 #60

Hi there malaise Nov 2016 #64
That zebra was hanging out on its own and making me nervous. Had a couple of antelope or gazelles suffragette Nov 2016 #65
One gazelle was there a few minutes ago malaise Nov 2016 #67
That little deer(?) just got away from the coyote(?) suffragette Nov 2016 #66
Wondered if it was was hyena, coyote or fox? malaise Nov 2016 #68
Not sure either. I thought the deer/gazelle was a goner. It's definitely the crane's domain. suffragette Nov 2016 #69
Yep this website is addictive malaise Nov 2016 #70
It sure is. Did you see the genet earlier? Truly stunning. suffragette Nov 2016 #71

Of course, it was night, at the pond. None the less, it was most exciting. I've also seen the cheetahs and leopards, a couple of times.

Yesterday there was a mama elephant with the youngest calf I've ever seen, at the pond. It couldn't have been more than a day or two old.

Of the brush. Maybe they are still there? They blended into the brush immediately.

All the other animals come and go and it just stays near the rocky part of the shore and observes. I really need to shower, breakfast and dress, but I can't tear myself away.
