It's 6.41pm
and on a recent trip I had the privilege to witness and document a rare melanistic male Black Serval, believed to be one of only 4 in all of Africa. It's difficult at the best of times to locate your normal "garden variety" Serval so finding this small cat was never going to be a simple task, and one I specifically spent 3 weeks tracking. Such a rare and special treat to witness this magical small predator hunting, gotta love those piercing golden eyes! "Manja" was first spotted by guide and naturalist *Manja* of asiliaafrica and has since adopted his name! With an incredibly high concentration of cats in the area, Manja the serval is so far faring well in avoiding predators and threats.
