  It is a Springhare (Pedetes surdaster). It is about the size of a rabbit and is strictly nocturnal. It spends its days in extensive systems of burrows. It feeds on the green parts of plants, roots and other vegetable matter and will occasionally consume insects.

  This is an unusually good picture of one.

  I was thinking we had been short of rodent type creatures in recent seasons, very nice capture.
