Sore tooth

...at least, that's what this little guy is going to have if he keeps eating this thorny branch! :bg3:
Here's your dose of Monday morning cuteness! :5

Taken a couple of years back in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park.

Neat shot Morkel, crop works well to amplify the scene. Interesting colour, likewise Markus BEF habitat.

In an ideal world the small twig in the FG would not be there. :bg3:

That park is amazing, was there in January. Also saw those little guys but my shorts are not nearly as good as this one. Great BG, light, color and composition. The thorns are great!

So......what is this cute little fluff ball, a Squirrel of some kind ? All looks great to me, 10/10 in the cuteness department

[Rachel Hollander]

Very cute Morkel. Great comp and I like the pile of rocks as well as the color. Those thorns look painful.

TFS,

Thanks Rachel - should have mentioned that it's actually a pile of "camelthorn acacia pods". :S3:
