|
Ran right up to where I was hidden watching some buffalo... had very clear view of it's rufous hindquarters, as well as the grizzled fur. Far more red-brown than south african ones. Also, this animal was very large, body seemed longer than the 60cm given in the literature. Had a very characteristic bouncing trot, rather than the slinking one would expect from a long animal with short legs. |
