Damara mole-rat
Sighted on: 25.July.2024
During the game drive, we chanced upon a rarely-seen creature – the Damara mole - rat. Though rarely seen, the Damara mole - rat is present on our reserve as we come upon traces and evidence to confirm its presence. They live in a network of tunnels, which they dig with their front teeth. These tunnels have no connection to the surface, but their presence can be inferred from the dome-shaped molehills of excavated earth that are pushed up to the surface. As a result, the tunnels develop their own microclimate, containing warm, moist air with low oxygen levels.
