Fungo

Although I have yet to see an aardvark, I was very lucky last week to see an African civet. I was with the owner of the ranch coming back from town in the dark and as he was giving me a lift to my house, the headlights found a civet on the road. The owner of the ranch has lived in Tanzania for 30 years and worked as a safari guide and he was amazed. Apparently this was only his third sighting! Yay. I got to see something rare... even if it isn't an aardvark. Here's a picture scrapped from the internet (http://www.stanford.edu/~siegelr/RSA/civet.jpg):
