Ms. Liz, the water monitor lizard that has taken up residence around the Elephant Plains waterhole, has been seen several times in the last couple of weeks. Rumor has it she might have a nest in the little area that looks like an island in the water hole. Its secluded and very well protected from most predators.  But some of us aren’t quite convinced of it, as this goes against the norm for a water monitor.

Almost every night while watching the camera at Nkorho Pan, a mongoose will slip into view, scurry around and sneak back out. He very rarely sits still long enough for us to get a good look, much less indentify which kind he is unless its the white tailed mongoose, as his obvious white tail gives him away.  But  this week we got to see a mongoose over on Elephant Plains, and the camera operator was able to catch up with him so we could not only identify him, but watch a few of his behaviors.
