OCTOBER 6, 2011

Approximately 2,300 bird species inhabit Africa, however as impressive as that sounds, much smaller South America boasts nearly 1,000 species more. Madagascar’s mammals are equally remarkable; over 100 species of endearing lemurs and bizarre carnivores amongst them!

This species was common as muck at Mweya, a safari lodge in Uganda’s Queen Elizabeth National Park. Lake Edward with the Congo behind. There is a lot of wildlife around the lodge. I don’t really know much about the species, I don’t even know if much is known about them.
