I thought it would be nice to post something other than a Tiger.
I have only ever seen on of these once before and it ran away too fast, so I was very pleased to get a few sightings of a few of these. This was taken late on at Tiger Canyons, South Africa.

Hey Ken,

Well, I've never seen any of these guys - so your few sightings beat mine!

Nice documentation of the species here. In a perfect world it would be nice if the lighting was "reversed", i.e., if the surroundings were shaded and the subject struck by light, but obviously that's completely out of your control.

Cheers...

Brad

It is cool to see species we seldom get a chance to view. I wish the light was more on the subject, however.
