A fascinating creature, its dark colour imparting a sense of mystery. I see - from your link - they live at low densities but hunt during the day. Did you see this species often, or were you lucky to get this photo opportunity?

What a unique looking animal, a Mustelid is it? Beautiful almost haunting expression on its face. A superb portrait. V
