Danger...

Back in Kruger - to be precise, the Lower Sabie Area.

 

We stopped at a big termite hill. At least 6 little Dwarf Mongooses were popping in and out of the holes in that hill. We thought it was quite cute, until we figured out why they were so agitated....! It slithered around at the base of the hill. Our ranger Jan whispered "Spitting Cobra!".

 

What seemed to us like an adorable playground, was in fact the scene of a battle at life and death in Dwarf Mongoose's territory...
