Ek dink dis deel van Cape Vidal se bekoring, Dina; dat diere soos die wat jy genoem het, en die Tonga Rooi Eekhoring, daar so maklik sigbaar is en elders in SA bitter skaars voorkom.

Thank you! The Banded Mongooses can be quite naughty when they get into a fridge or cupboard – but they’re too cute to stay mad at!
