Carnivores far north5/29/2023 The tabulated index on the right (unfortunately not viewable on mobile) is in loose taxonomic sequence. A photo of that cat now replaces the previous ‘record shot’ and hopefully I’ll be able to make some similar updates and/or additions to the list as time progresses. The situation was much the same with the Serval until we had our first proper sighting in 2019. Then it would be the Bat-eared Fox as I've only had one photographable encounter with that species. Similarly with African Wild Dog where my only sighting has been an extremely early morning distant view of a small hunting pack on the opposite side of the Luangwa River. CARNIVORA is split into two major suborders - FELIFORMIA for all the ‘cat-like’ famalies, and CANIFORMIA for the ‘dog-like’ species which, in respect of this list, include the African Wild Dog, Black-backed and Side-striped Jackal, Bat-eared Fox and the Honey Badger.Īlthough this listing is pretty comprehensive for the areas we’ve visited, there are always species that either elude you or that you want to encounter again, but with better views. I'd start with the very elusive Caracal, which I've been fortunate enough to have seen and photographed, but where the conditions for getting any decent shots was poor. The carnivores or, to be more specific, carnivorans, are members of the taxonomic order CARNIVORA of the class Mammalia. This personal records page features all of the carnivore species that I’ve seen and photographed while on safari in Kenya, Tanzania or eastern Zambia.
