Dwarf Mongoose, Tshukudu Game Reserve, South Africa<\/p><\/div>\n

We visited Tshukudu Game Lodge on the Tshakudu Game Reserve for a sundowner game drive…an afternoon\/early evening excursion into the bush of Tshukudu. Tshukudu has the big five…the five African animals\u00a0what do not fear a man on foot…Elephant, Rhino, Hippo, Lion, and Leopard…but the animals I liked best were the Dwarf Mongoose, seen here doing what Mongooses do in a pile of Elephant dung. Like all Mongooses, the Dwarf is a very social animal, and their interaction with each other, and with the world, is very interesting to watch. As you see, this is a late light shot, maybe a half hour before sunset, and I like the way the oblique sun lights the Mongooses (Mongeese?…no I don’t think so) and the dung.<\/p>\n
