⚠️(DOR) It is unfortunate to have encountered this on the road tonight. 🫣

The striped polecat (Ictonyx striatus) 🦨 is a small carnivorous mammal endemic to sub-Saharan Africa. The distinctive black and white stripes and bushy tail serve as a warning to predators, similar to a skunk. A strong, musky-smelling fluid can be released from its a**l glands as a defense mechanism. They are primarily solitary, nocturnal animals that mainly prey on rodents, insects, snakes, and other small animals. Snake Relocation - Cape Town

🪾🪵 I’m not uncommon, you just can’t find me.

Indian walking stick (Carausius morosus) is a common, wingless species often kept as a pet and has been introduced to the Cape Town area.

Isn’t nature so full of word and wonderful things…

𝐒𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜 𝐧𝐚𝐦𝐞: Elaiophis inornatus.
⚠️Harmless constrictor.

Safely relocated this stunning, decent sized Olive snake from Constantia, Cape Town, they are totally harmless and very good to have around for the mice and rat population. That said, this one had a huge rat that it unfortunately regurgitated, I'll post a video of this soon.
