9. did you see the fox?

THAT was cool!

He/she was so timid he could barely get up enough nerve to stick his nose in the water.

10. I saw it, guess she thought there was a croc in the watering hole

absolutely scared to death. I thought it was a dingo or something but it would make more sense if it was a fox because they are solitary I think.

17. I don't think there are dingo in the veld

16. long bushy tail, long pointed stand-up ears

and long legs and lean frame -- definitely some kind of a fox.

21. I just can't understand why it was solitary like that

so strange. Dingo would have been in a pack I think, right? I don't know much about jackals/hyenas...it's so strange to see a lone animal like that
