Really nice capture. A little more room all around would have helped, but very nice as is.

Fine photo of this very rare canine. I like it alot. The color, alert pose and detail all very good! Glad you were able to take advantage of the sighting. Do you have photos of the mole rat? Thanks for sharing.

ANother nice image of this rarely seen species Ken. I like the pose from the Wolf and agree the larger rat adds to this one.

Ken this title made me laugh, knowing it referenced a previous posting! Good image. One might ideally want those back toes...
