Wonderlike dier – Ek hoop ook endag om een te sien.
November 20, 2019 om 11:13 vm
Mens se kans is omtrent nul!

November 20, 2019 om 8:02 vm
Sjoe, dis nogal ‘n voorreg om aan hom te kon raak!
Hierdie “mense” kan bly wees ek is nie in beheer nie. Ek sou sekere tiranne na lammetjies laat lyk…
November 20, 2019 om 11:14 vm
As ek sulke mense raakloop, sal hulle nie weet wat hulle tref nie!
November 20, 2019 om 8:28 vm
Awesomeness! Net om aan een te vat is so besonders…..
November 20, 2019 om 11:15 vm
Dit was ‘n ongelooflike ervaring om hierdie diertjie in die ongereptheid van die wildernis te sien.
November 20, 2019 om 11:24 vm
Dis so jammer dat hulle ook prooi word van die walglike mites! Kan iemand nie n sintetiese middel uitdink wat die skeelogies kan gebruik nie😠😠😠
November 20, 2019 om 11:42 vm
Hulle moet net na al die skoonheidswinkels gaan, waar hulle wavragte naels kan optel en fynmaal!Dis die ware Jakop en die skoonheidsalonne kan ekstra pond maak.

Ek is saam met jou bly die voorreg het jou toegeval!
November 20, 2019 om 11:16 vm
Dit was ‘n ongelooflike voorreg..so in die natuur!
November 20, 2019 om 8:42 vm
een van my ingelse skrywes lank terug –
November 20, 2019 om 11:17 vm
Ek het gaan lees…pragtige beeld wat jy gebruik het. My hart is net so seer om te dink hierdie diere gaan uitsterf as gevolg van menslike sotheid!
November 20, 2019 om 11:18 vm
Ek ween daaroor. Die renosters en ietermagogge en die natuur oral.
November 20, 2019 om 11:31 vm
Juis toe ons verlede week daar was, was daar ‘n poging tot stropery. Die bliksems het twee-uur in die nag die drade geknip. Gelukkig het die alarm afgegaan en kon die sekuriteitsmense presies sien waar hulle ingekom het. Deesdae is die tegnologie van so ‘n aard dat dit reeds baie help. Twee dae lank is hul spore gevolg met honde en voetsoldate, asook ‘n helikopter. Terwyl ons daar was, moes ons uit sekere gebiede wegbly, want hulle is swaar gewapen. Ons het nie die uiteinde van die storie gehoor nie, maar ek hoop hulle het gevrek van hitte en ontbering!!

November 20, 2019 om 8:57 vm
Bly vir jou part jy kon hierdie ondervinding hê!!!
November 20, 2019 om 11:23 vm
Dit was ongelooflik, Kameel.
November 20, 2019 om 9:07 vm
Ja dis so jammer. Diw vraag is waar kom Sjina deesdaw aan hulle bygelowe? Vroeer jare was die renosters en die iietermago’s veilig
Dit was die jare tydens sanksies en afsondering en kommunisme, toe mense nie so vrylik beweeg het nie.
November 20, 2019 om 9:51 vm
Een heel mooi dier. Dit had ik nog nooit gezien. Bedankt om de foto’s ervan te tonen.
Dis aan die uitsterf, daarom is ek so opgewonde dat ek uiteindelik een in die natuur kon sien. Dankie vir inloer, Suske.
November 20, 2019 om 9:52 vm
Jy het ‘n Ietermagô gesien EN gestreel! Dit maak jou een van die gelukkigste mense in die land. Wat ‘n WONDERLIKE ervaring!!!!
November 20, 2019 om 11:20 vm
Ja Anne, ek het amper nie die nag geslaap van opgewondenheid nie. Van die veldwagters het ook na jare in die veld vir die eerste keer een gesien. Dis werklik besonders!
November 20, 2019 om 10:24 vm
Ja Dina, wat een voorrecht om dit diertje te kunnen fotograferen en zelfs te strelen! Hopelijk wordt het nooit gevangen genomen…
November 20, 2019 om 11:21 vm
Gelukkig is hy in ‘n bewaringsgebied en sal niemand hom vang nie…dalk wel leeus, luiperds en ander roofdiere.
November 20, 2019 om 11:30 vm
Pragtige foto’s. Jy is waaghalsig, die arme diere. Ek hoop dit maak die mense wat dit drink hondsiek.
November 20, 2019 om 11:39 vm
Hy is so klein, Christa, dat dit nodig was om naby hom te kom. Hy is nie gevaarlik nie, behalwe vir sy verskriklike kloue. Gewoonlik rol hy op as daar gevaar kom.
Mens weet nie waarheen met dom mense nie!!
November 20, 2019 om 1:46 nm
Ek weet. Dit is hartseer
November 20, 2019 om 12:16 nm
‘n Besonderse ervaring wat jou te beurt geval het. Dankie vir die deel van jou foto’s en die storie daaragter.

November 20, 2019 om 12:50 nm
Wonderlike ervaring. Kyk hier: https://www.discoverwildlife.com/news/rescued-pangolin-released-back-into-the-wild/?fbclid=IwAR0RhGvb3c9yABvfrdDabTBje3dJ0zq_IR2giu8gO1tydLKJTfeC0eQLAEM
Dis darem ‘n gelukkige storie.Ek hoop Kosin maak dit sonder om weer gevang te word.Dankie vir inloer, Lewies.
November 20, 2019 om 1:32 nm
Wat ń voorreg om een te kon sien en aan hom te kon raak, Dina!!!
November 20, 2019 om 2:41 nm
Ek was in die wolke, Una.Onbeskryflike gevoel.
November 20, 2019 om 2:30 nm
Sjoe Bytjie wat ‘n blessing!! Baie dankie dat jy dit met ons deel, wow dis besonders.
November 20, 2019 om 3:23 nm
Dankie … ek raai dis Bondels?
November 20, 2019 om 4:47 nm
Een heel bijzonder dier, dat ik enkel ken van de foto’s. Hij staat er prachtig op.
November 20, 2019 om 6:00 nm
November 20, 2019 om 7:58 nm
OMG! A pangolin! I’ve never seen one in the wild. I have an old West African granary door carved with a pangolin motif… but never saw one. You are extremely lucky Dina. 🙂
When I think they’re hunted for their scales, which do zip, medicine-wise… Grrr.
Could I use one or the other of your photos in a post, with all due credit of course?
Astublift? AUB? AUB? 😉
November 21, 2019 om 3:35 vm
I am so sad about what is happening with pangolins.There are gruesome stories about how they are kept captive to stay “fresh” and to be killed later… uggh I don’t even want to know about it!
Of course you can use my photo’s. I’ll be honoured!
November 22, 2019 om 12:04 vm
Dankje wel Sis. I will definitely use it. With all due credit of course. I just did some research on the pangolin massacre. A bl..dy shame. At least you were very lucky to see one so close. Where was that? Oh. One more thing: do you still have hartebeest in SA?
November 22, 2019 om 8:38 vm
I saw it in the Sabi-Sand Reserve which is ajacent to Kruger National Park.There are no fence lines between the parks so the animals can roam freely across huge areas.
Yes there are lots of Red Hartebeest as well as Lichtenstein-hartebeest and Tsessebe.
November 23, 2019 om 12:38 vm
No fence is actually the way it should be. So animals can move freely. But maybe the fence would be to keep humans (poachers) getting in?
I will have to check the Lichtenstein hartebeest. I know them as kongoni the Swahili name. I guess Tsessebe is Zulu or Xhosa?
November 23, 2019 om 4:43 vm
The fences are on the outskirts of the reserves.The inside fences have been taken down, so the the reserves are all integrated and it creates huge living space for animals.
Last week when we were there, there was a breach in the fence line 2 o’clock at night and the anti poaching unit with dogs and helicopter went after the buggers for two days.We left then so I don’t know if they were caught.
November 24, 2019 om 8:10 nm
The huge living space is great but the poachers… (I was gonna say “should be shot on sight” but that would not be very Politically Correct would it?) (You can delete that comment if you wish…) 😉
November 25, 2019 om 8:01 vm
I will not delete that comment, because that is exactly how we all feel! The poacher are becoming more brutal, have AK47 weapons, and will not hesitate to shoot innocent people who come across them. It is a war out there.It is actually very scary!
November 26, 2019 om 1:44 vm
I just realize we all have our wars. (Which Europeans don’t understand) Yours is against poachers. Ours is against narcs. In fact there is a World War against mafias. Only the West and the North don’r know… 😦
November 26, 2019 om 4:32 vm
Our war is against corruption, crime, abuse of women and children, farm murders, drugs, road rage… you name it. The social problems here are huge!
November 26, 2019 om 5:17 nm
Sounds like Mexico. You do have cheetahs as an added bonus. 🙂
(More seriously, I don’t see how your country – or the one I live in – can get over this situation… TBH, I’m moving investments around to buy a small house in the South of France as a back-up option…)
November 26, 2019 om 5:35 nm
We have placed a lot of our money outside the country and our children plan to emigrate. Very sad!
November 26, 2019 om 7:20 nm
I know… Honestly I am thinking along the same lines. Though some local investments are hard to move… Well. We’ll see.
November 26, 2019 om 8:13 nm
We’ll stay put untill the sh*t really hits the fan!☺️☺️
November 27, 2019 om 1:09 vm
Haha. You are brave people. 🙂 (Any news about Namibia?)
November 27, 2019 om 4:18 vm
No news about Namibia. The so called buyers are still kicking tyres. They hum and ho and suggest all kinds of payments to move into our house. Hubby says he doesn’t trust them,so we put the house on the market again.
November 27, 2019 om 5:59 nm
Trust is a very important gut feeling. Never ignore it. So you’re selling? I had hoped you could get the permanent residency but apparently not? Godver…
November 27, 2019 om 6:03 nm
Another year went by, still no residency.We plan to buy a smaller place in Namibia, because keeping the house, takes a lot of money.
November 27, 2019 om 6:29 nm
I’m afraid you will have to grease some palms. Sorry about that.
From what I saw of the house, it’s gorgeous, but maintenance must be high, especially when you can only live there a limited time…
November 28, 2019 om 4:26 vm
No palm greasing here. We are fed up with this kind of behaviour. We did not grow up like that.Corruption is like a disease spreading over this whole region.
It is a gorgeous house. We used it a lot as a family, but with my children leaving, two of us remain and it is too expensive to maintain.
November 29, 2019 om 1:23 vm
What can I say? I’ve lived in Mexico for 30 years. It is probably one of the 10 most corrupt countries in the world. (And there is tough competition) I’m proud to say that in the 25 years I had my company I never paid a bribe. But… if Namibia is a fall-back option… maybe an exception can be made for the residency? We’re talking personal security here.
Now the house? I didn’t realize you’d had it for a while. You’re right. Let’s be practical. A smaller thing will do.
November 29, 2019 om 3:53 vm
Thanks Brian, you always inspire me.
November 29, 2019 om 6:01 nm
Wait till I start charging you. My hourly rate is high. 😉
Take good care of yourself and yours Dina.
November 29, 2019 om 6:03 nm
November 29, 2019 om 6:31 nm
November 23, 2019 om 12:40 vm
Looked it up. Does look like a topi or a kongoni. Off to tsesse…
November 23, 2019 om 12:42 vm
Okay… tsessebe is “our” topi. It appears there are several subspecies, but honestly I’d have to go back live in the bush for a while to tell the difference. Thanks for the tip.
November 23, 2019 om 4:37 vm
I also have to look in my animal books from time to time to see the difference.🤣
November 24, 2019 om 8:08 nm
LOL. You (and I) are probably the last one to have animal books. I do have many animal books from when we were in East Africa. I also have a complete 24 volume Animal Encyclopedia. And my wife makes fun of me because I read it from A to Z… Compliments on your sources.
November 25, 2019 om 8:10 vm
I still love my books…it becomes very personal. Sometimes I write in them, where I had sightings or interesting happenings…like a diary.The whole library goes along when we go out into nature…birds, mammals, trees, stars, insects, reptiles, raptors, frogs, tracks, flowers…a box full! Much better than Google. Anyway, most places where we go, do not have cellphone reception.
November 26, 2019 om 1:47 vm
I understand totally. Not like you can check the species on your cell in the middle of the bush. I like the idea that you carry a box full of reference wildlife books. Very neat. Now plants and flowers? That is huge. I understand there is an app where you can check the picture of a plant and it scans it and tells you what it is… Don’t remember the name.
And tracks too… Wow. You’re a real “Bush tracker”
November 26, 2019 om 3:59 vm
I saw that app for plant identification.I am not there yet.One small step at a time☺️
Because we are mostly on an open vehicle in the bush, with an experienced tracker on the bonnet, it is lots of fun learning the tracks.
November 26, 2019 om 5:16 nm
A tracker on the bonnet? My, my? How so very vintage. 😉 And yes I can imagine the fun of learning tracks. If you have the app, your mind won’t memorize it. Because it knows it’s in the box.
(I actually stopped taking photos for a good 10-15 years, because I realized I remembered things better when I had no photographs of the places or events.)
November 26, 2019 om 5:40 nm
There is a special seat on the bonnet for the tracker… actually more on the front next to the bonnet.There he has a bird’s eye view.These trackers are amazing.There is a tracker academy as well, where young people are taught to read the bush as their forefathers did. I just love it!!
November 26, 2019 om 7:22 nm
I was thinking that to sit on the bonnet would be very dangerous, but a special seat makes sense. Now an academy of trackers? How wonderful. A combination of ancient wisdom and modernity. Compliments. (Do you speak any African language? Zulu, xhosa? Like I spoke Swahili in East Africa.)
November 26, 2019 om 8:12 nm
I know a few words here and there, but it is very difficult with all the different languages that are spoken here. Afrikaans is also an African language although its roots lie in Europe.It has influence from the Khoi-San and Malayan languages as well.It is a living language and we take pride in creating new words all the time.Actually a very interesting phenomenon.☺️
True. My apology about Afrikaans. It is actually probably older than Swahili! Which really was the language of the Arabic and coast slave traders in the 18th century.
Now Malay? How come? (I have learned a few words of Malay when we went 2 years ago. A pretty language.)
Toz ziens Sis.
November 27, 2019 om 5:02 vm
The Netherlands company, Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (VOC) was the biggest trading company in the world by 1650. They traded with India, Malaysia and Indonesia. They put up a halfway station on the southern tip of Africa in 1652.( Cape Town today). Slaves were imported from Africa, Madagascar, India an Indonesia. So you can imagine that there was a lot of influences language wise. Germans and French also came along later and Afrikaans developed out of all these influences.
November 27, 2019 om 6:04 nm
Of course. That’s the connection. I keep forgetting the Dutch had quite an “empire” in Asia. Indonesia was a pearl of the Dutch crown. And many Malay words come from European languages. Terima kasih (dankje wel) for the explanation.
November 27, 2019 om 6:10 nm
Just a little bit of SA history☺️☺️
November 20, 2019 om 8:27 nm
Pragtige dier. So bly jy het die voorrrg gehad.
November 21, 2019 om 4:47 vm
November 20, 2019 om 9:01 nm
Ooh! Schitterend. En je hebt hem zelfs kunnen aaien, wat byzonder. Ik kende ze alleen van een documetaire en vind ze zo mooi. Dank je wel voor het delen. lieve groetjes, Hanneke
Dankie vir inloer, Hanneke.
November 21, 2019 om 2:43 vm
Ai Dina, ek is so bly vir jou part! En natuurlik ook groen van jaloesie, maar dit daar gelaat… Wat n wonderlike voorreg om n ietermagog te sien. Ons jammerlike mensgeslag moet ons kop in skaamte laat sak vir die maniere waarop ons die natuur verkrag.
November 21, 2019 om 4:49 vm
Ja Dries, ek raak sommer moedeloos met mense…alles gaan oor geld!
Dit was sowaar ‘n besondere ervaring. Ek hoop jy sien ook eendag een.
November 21, 2019 om 5:05 vm
Ons sal aanhou soek!
November 21, 2019 om 6:51 vm
To see this extremely endangered species is really a privilege! Thank you for showing the pictures. When the pangolin feels threatened it rolls up like a circle. This is very interesting to see!
Why don’t people just eat their hair? Instead they have to kill! Totally crazy!
November 21, 2019 om 7:33 vm
I can’t believe that in these modern times people are still so ignorant!
November 21, 2019 om 9:45 vm
Voorwaar sjoe. Ek sal moet oplees? Van watter diersoort is hulle familie?
November 21, 2019 om 11:43 vm
Dit is ‘n soogdier, die enigste wat met skubbe bedek word. Orde Pholidota en Familie Manidae.
November 22, 2019 om 6:19 nm
My kleurryke verbeelding het hulle uit skilpaaie ontwikkel maar dan hak ek vas met die soogdier … Skillie sal moeilik dit kan doen.
November 23, 2019 om 4:35 vm
Hehe! Skillie het beslis nie tepels nie.
November 26, 2019 om 6:03 nm
Ja maar die dop lyk soos vasgegroeide skubbe… iewers het daar iets skeef geloop
November 26, 2019 om 8:28 nm
November 21, 2019 om 11:22 vm
Besonders, soos altyd. Dankie dat ons dit mag deel met jou
November 21, 2019 om 11:46 vm
Plesier, Positief…altyd lekker om vir by blogmaats iets besonders te wys.
November 21, 2019 om 9:21 nm
Wow, mooi fotos wat jy geneem het. Ek moes dit net op my blog share. Ek het ook jare gelede een naby Potgietersrus gesien vroeg een oggend. Dis wonderlike om so n besonderse dier te sien. Bly jy kon hom sien en selfs aan hom voel.
November 22, 2019 om 8:39 vm
Dankie dat jy dit gedeel het.Dis so besonders om te sien.Jy was ook gelukkig om een te sien.
November 23, 2019 om 7:05 vm
Ek het lank telkens die spore na sy gat gevolg totdat ek een oggend betyds was om hom raak te loop. Gelukkig was my honde baie gehoorsaam en ons het hom gladnie gepla in sy stappie nie.
November 23, 2019 om 7:42 vm
Sjoe dis ‘n ervaring…fantasties!
November 24, 2019 om 6:53 vm
Is beslis iets wat mens nie vergeet nie. Daar was toe nog nie selfone om gou n foto te neem nie.
Wow, dis ongelooflik dat jy een kon sien!!
November 22, 2019 om 10:00 vm
Ja, dit was besonders en so ‘n geluk.Dankie vir inloer,Aletta.
November 22, 2019 om 2:36 nm
November 24, 2019 om 6:14 vm
Darem onverklaarbaar dit wat hierdie en ‘n klomp ander diere toegedig word en hulle daardeur in gevaar bring. Nog nooit die voorreg gehad om een van hierdie diere in lewende lywe te sien nie. Kyk deur jou oë
November 25, 2019 om 4:41 vm
Die mensdom is kastig modern, maar bly steeds in baie opsigte barbaars.
Ek stem,,, SJOE!
Januarie 6, 2020 om 6:55 nm
Ja, my asem was skoon uit, toe ek dit sien.
