Hey Fluts,

They are Viverridae of the suborder Feliformia. =O: (sorry, could not resist. -O )

Viverridae were once thought to be an ancestral group that led to the the other Feliformia i.e. cats & hyaenas. Recent studies have shown that they were from an ancient family (mesocarnivores) that branched off early in the Feliformidae lineage.

Such amazing pics!!
I have seen another Orpen Enforcer Peter! I do not think he is the same Lion. Taken June 2011 with my muk en druk next to the H7 by the farthest Rabaleis turn off!

On my last trip, I was in for a real treat! 8-)
Past Tsokwane, about 2km before Mazithi on the H1-3

Not even half awkward, considering I was sitting in the car with a girl I had met the day before

Ouch! That doesn't look good at all.
Actually, this one seems to be pretty desperate for food. :-(


God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.
