There is definately a wide variety of animals visiting this waterhole. Gosh.. I will have to get a book soon to keep them straight.. LOL

Never apologise here for errors in ID-ing the animals on the cams!

Mistakes are easily made, even by those of us who profess to 'know' the animals of Southern Africa - and that includes myself!

Stay with Africam and all of the Bomites will be only too happy to attempt to ID any animals that you are unsure about.

Kudu from earlier today.

Sorry ElaineK that was the only shot I got. I did notice the stripes on the face like you mentioned. I don't know for sure what it is though.

So sorry for misannouncing the lovely hare.. Where I'm from we have rabbits.

Forgive me.. I'm trying to learn the animals of Africa.

you can see it go away behind pond
scrub hare
Not enough close-up

Only caught it just before it left. Anyobdy knows what it is? It did not move like a cat, maybe it could be a honey badger?

Dear Melanie

You (and we!) would be very lucky indeed to see any 'rabbits' in South Africa

What you are actually seeing is a Scrub Hare - the rabbit/hare populations of Southern Africa consist of:

Cape hare

Scrub hare

Natal red rock rabbit

Jameson's red rock rabbit (In Southern Africa this rabbit occurs only in the northwestern region, along the eastern border of Botswana, and from there further northwards into Zimbabwe. Also known from Namibia)

Riverine rabbit (an endangered species which is restricted to the Karoo Desert in the Cape Province)

Your last picture is of the antelope I thought might be a duiker. See how the profile of the head is different from the little picture of a steenbok you posted before? It also had two light stripes down the front of the face that I don't remember seeing on the steenbok.

Did you get any screen shots as it left, or as it faced the camera?
