      Given the recently published split in this species (see https://www.biotaxa.org/Zootaxa/article/view/zootaxa.5219.4.5 ), I wonder which of the two taxa Burgers actually have. I suppose the only way to check would be the zoo carrying out a morphological and/or genetic study, the differences are not really pronounced enough to be able to judge from photos of single individuals.

      Very lucky sighting! Where in the Bush did you spot this one?

      @Swampy A zoo employee indeed mentioned a while back that it could well be a different species, but they don't know either.

      @Mr Gharial They are in fact very easy if you know where to look... But I hesitate to post where and how to see them, as when not done carefully it could be destructive...
