Tree Hyrax- the cutest mammal on earth


On our way home from our highly successful although flash flood- susceptible safari (more on that later!) we stopped by to visit a friend who works at one of the swanky tourist lodges. After camping for 5 days, we really enjoyed a number of ice cold Tuskers, a gourmet lunch and a tour around the beautiful, lush grounds. Along our walk we spotted several of these charming critters, including this mother and her young, who stopped to nurse right in front of us!
