Default Mongoose?

Just had a load of pics from when I was travelling whacked on CD, and came across this:



Pic was taken in Pulau Weh, Aceh - Sumatra. If I remember right it is a mongoose baby. The guy in the photo, Hari, found it abandoned.

Reminded me of good times, and I thought some may like the pic.

Haha, don't let that put you off! Seriously, travelling was the best thing I have ever done, makes you realise how capable you are to deal with any situation. Plus the wildlife, nature in general and people that you get to see and meet is breathtaking! Met wild and rehabilited Orang Utans in Sumatra, simply awesome. Glad you liked the pic!
