I often find myself having to identify South African mammal species. Be it from digital photographs, camera trap images or just a fleeting glimpse in the wild while visiting a nature reserve or even at home.
On this blog I would like to, over time, build up a collection of pages to help identify certain species and how to tell closely related species apart.
