This one had me totally baffled:
Any ideas?

Looks like it may be the tail of a buffalo, given this image from a couple of minutes earlier:

A bit of a guess here, but I think it might be an aardwolf tail or bat-eared fox tail. I'd probably go for aardwolf if I was classifying this image.

Ohhh... ignore my last comment. I think you might be right with buffalo.

@dms246. Sorry - looks like we posted at the same time. I agree that Aardwolf was the best guess from the first image. Thanks for trying!

No problem. It happens sometimes. 😃 The one thing that was bothering me about my suggestions of aardwolf or bat-eared fox was the apparently smooth section of tail above the hair at the end. I decided it was probably an optical effect created by the flash, but as soon as you posted that second photo, I realised you were spot on with that. 😃
