#MonkeyMonday…The namesake of the Baviaanskloof mountains, the Chacma/Cape Baboon. Some in this troop along the road through the Wilderness Area looked a little more despondent than others! #baboon #monkey #primates #monkeys #southafricanmammals #wildlifeofsouthafrica #southafricanwildlife #wildlifephotography #naturephotography (at Baviaanskloof Nature Reserve) https://www.instagram.com/p/CS6-TEiq2Ml/?utm_medium=tumblr

Oxpeckers & Cape Buffalo…a match made in…symbiosis! 🔄 The oxpeckers get a tasty meal of bugs, while the buffalo have pests removed in return (OK, yes, the oxpeckers do sometimes bite the hoofed mammals to drink blood, too, but it’s still considered a mutually beneficial relationship!). #symbiosis #mutualism #evolution #oxpecker @avibase #nevernotbirding #birding #birdtherapy #buffalo #capebuffalo #africanbuffalo #buphagus #buphagidae #passeriformes #passerines #birdwatching #birds #birdsofsouthafrica #mammalsofsouthafrica #wildlifeofsouthafrica #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturephotography (at Addo Elephant National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSw47AmKHxw/?utm_medium=tumblr

#MammalMonday…Hunting Black-backed Jackal. Though so often vilified, they are just too gorgeous & a necessary ecological player. #jackal #humanwildlifeconflict #wildlifeofsouthafrica #southafricanmammals #conservation #scicomm #canine #canid #lupulella #wildlifephotography #naturephotography #mammals (at Mountain Zebra National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRg6NsypKrz/?utm_medium=tumblr

#MammalMonday…This Cape/South African Ground Squirrel kept so still in this position, we honestly thought it might have been a decoy for research! 😹😹😹 #groundsquirrel #squirrel #smallmammals #mammalsofsouthafrica #wildlifeofsouthafrica #rodents #mammals #xerus #sciuridae #wildlifephotography #naturephotography (at Mountain Zebra National Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQHCQzyJrj_/?utm_medium=tumblr

#TrackingTuesday! 🐾 Some recents from the river… 1️⃣ Plovers! Probably Three-Banded &/or Kittlitz’s 2️⃣ Cape Clawless Otter 3️⃣ Likely Grey Heron (but maybe Black-headed, as I’ve seen them in the area!) 4️⃣ Mongoose (probably Marsh, as these are a touch too small to be Water, & not quite right for Cape Grey) 5️⃣ Cape Grysbok 6️⃣ Bushbuck #tracking #tracks #spoor #animaltracking #wildlifetracking #animalsign #ichnology #wildlife #footprints #pawprints #plovers #waders #shorebirds #heron #waterbirds #otter #mongoose #antelope #buck #grysbok #bushbuck #wildlifeofsouthafrica #birdsofsouthafrica #mammalsofsouthafrica (at Bitouvlei Birding) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ_t1llp62a/?utm_medium=tumblr
