Lisbeth, I never got an explanation for the weird behaviour :?

Hey Leachy,

As this guy approached the road all seemed normal, but once in the road, started what seemed like a strange dance. It was June 11th 2010, so we thought that he may have been doing that soccer dance. :lol:

Each time he stuck his ears out, his “banana” followed and when he put his ears flat, as in the pic below, he hide his “banana”



Personally, I think that he had the hots for my brothers grey discovery. -O -O

After the dance he looked confused and moved off into the bush. We were still laughing an hour later.

The squirrels were VERY curious when this cape cobra showed up in the area they were scavenging. I was quite surprised to see how incredibly close they came to it, but were always able to jump out of its way. At least on this particular day...
