Field Notes

Description:

Small and agile, 25-35cm long plus 17-25cm tail, weight around 700g.

Habitat:

Deserts in south part of Africa. This one, with at least another 10 like him, feels like home at Zoo Brno in Czech Republic, where the keepers replicate really well their usual habitat.

Notes:

This one is shameless... :)
