Good evening everybody, (Well. Here and now is evening!)
I'm new to this forum. 
I'm an italian graphic designer and photographer from Milan, Italy.
Some here ago I decided to move my life here in Zambia. Now I run a little lodge in the southern part of the Kafue National Park.
Every day, and often at night, I drive or walk in the Zambian bush with my camera.
I start this evening (here and now!) to show you the results of my wanderings.

Tonight an Arvaark 
Three years and hundreds of nights for him!!!

Ciao!

Welcome Andrea!

I can understand your feelings for Zambia, I have happy memories of my time there. You did well to find an Aardvark, we found many places where they had been but never saw one. I look forward to seeing other wildlife you have found in Kafue!

This is a really unique photograph of a unique animal. Like Carol, I have seen "handy work" of aardvarks, but never had the opportunity to actually see one. Your image of it peering from the brush in cross light is really nicely done.
regards,
bruce
