Common ichneumon

Not the best photo, but it still shows how a common ichneumon runs ;). They are remarkably distinctive from the white-tailed mongoose that are very common here. The ichneumon is much more weasel-like in their behavior.

      With the position of the body as it runs, combined with the blurring of the photograph, this almost looks like a grison or ratel!

      I thought it was a monitor lizard! Still, bonus points for doing a creative pan blur shot (much like a certain forum member from Arizona is known to do ;) ).

      @AD, the pan blur shot was a total accident, as it was getting dark and the ichneumon started running at once ;)
