I am 58 years young, live in Johannesburg, South Africa and I'm a true product of my continent. I love the bush, the animals, sunshine, sunsets - oh well, anything to do with nature. I am unmarried and have three sons - 37, 33 and 30 respectively and three granddaugters aged 12, 6 and 4 respectively and obviously the light of my life! Photography has always been a passion and I have loved it since I can remember. I was still using a SLR camera and only switched to digital only in late 2007! My other passion is travel and I have been lucky enough to have travelled fairly widely. There are however still many, many places I would love to visit "one day." I am truly an amateur photographer and do it merely as a hobby. So please be gentle when you comment on my work. :-) Thank you Piet, my dear friend, for convincing me to place my work on Renderosity. You owe me one! Hugs, Carin xx

Wow Carin I can always rely on you to introduce me to yet another animal I have never ever seen before. She really is so sweet to look at, and the markings on her face are very unusual. A great shot my friend, hugs Jane xx

Teeny-tiny. And mighty cooperative for you:) She has almost a mustard-yellow color to her coat. Did she bound away shortly after this? Well done and new to me too.

That's a cute looking animal. Very nice nature picture!

interesting pic. i read somewhere that the "coarse-haired coat" is actually rather springy, so that if these nimble animals do fall they have a bit of bounce. probably helps them move fast though thorny shrubs too.

Isn't she lovely, never seen one before, thanks for sharing her.

That is so cool

With a stocky body like that, I find it hard to picture it leaping around on rocks. It doesn't seem nimble enough but the size of the toes tell me otherwise. What an odd little creature this is. I wonder if they could be ranched or if they are even seen as a food source like sheep are. (No I don't look at everything as my dinner but I know that some animals are traditional to some cultures... either now or in the past.)

Cool, i caught only a far off glimpse of one of these in Etosha in May. They're so cool, a little bit like the Dik -Dik's aren't they.
