My youngest nephew Kyle keeps asking me if I have seen a black mamba yet. The answer is still "No and I DON'T WANT TO!"
But today there was a visitor in the yard. He was scoping out the fruit trees for his band. It is so dry and it is the middle of winter (remember that I am still catching up on pictures from July). There is nothing in the bush for them to eat.
When I startled him he ran off FAST (I have noticed all the critters here are really fast including the house spiders!) and then stood on his back feet and barked/hooted to all of them. There were about 5 I saw.
But me and my camera were just not fast enough. Note how easily he blends into the dry tan bush even with his darker brown color. There are a couple more hiding up in the bush there.
(I say he- I am making an assumption from what I have seen in animal documentaries- I didn't get close enough to ask his name or gender!)
