Pangolin

[Mr Wolverine]

How many of you have been fortunate enough to see one of these handsome fellows?

 

[Cinch99]

Cool. I was a little concerned with the 1st pic (snake ).

Seems like a shy fellow.

Where did you find him John?

He (may have been female, I didn't check!) is a native of South Africa and I am told they are extreemly rare.

How is it, you know where all the cool stuff is? You are blessed for finding rare things. If you ever need anyone to carry your bags on your trips, give me a ring. Lol!

I love how you share ALOT of your experiences with the community Mr. Hipwell as I enjoy reading and looking at pics of yours, but I hope this isnt as rare and elusive as the

"CZ Skorpion EVO III" I am dying to catch soon.........

Yassir, mbasi, I've seen those critters, had a family around our rondavels we lived in near Nelspruit, TVL back in the early Seventies.
