Cynictis penicillata
A slender mammal with yellowish colored fur.
Common in grasslands, we saw many of these guys running across roads in front of us before diving into their burrows.

I love your dedication. I'm uploading mine kind of haphazardly - starting with the last day I was dinking around with photos, and then I'll end up starting from day one and going in order. Love this. We saw three different species, but not the yellow :(
Thanks! He ran out in front of us then stopped by this bush and stared at us, I'm assuming his burrow was right next to him since that's about the only time they ever stop haha. Flowers were blooming like crazy over there, made for lots of pretty pictures :) But I'm uploading everything in order so there will be lots of okay photos then I'll surprise people with a great one every now and then ;)
Cute little mongoose! I like the scene with the grasses and flowers and the mongoose popping up from them.
