Dassie-tastic

We saw some great wildlife this weekend including penguins, sea urchins, baboons (which nearly got run over), hummingbirds and starfish, but my personal favourites are the dassies. These are creatures like large guinea pigs who are lie around on rocks in the sun and are too stupid to be scared of humans. On the rocks near our hotel in Hermanus was a whole colony, with baby dassies skipping around, and big daddy dassies who were rather moth eaten and not moving off the rocks for anybody. Dave took some great shots...
