Informações sobre a espécie
Recorded year-round
Recorded in every month, so no month is the wrong month to look. We would rather say that than invent a best time.
Curve from 682 national iNaturalist observations, not from one property and not from this province. Single-month spikes are discarded as upload artefacts, and below 50 records we show no curve at all.

Os meses mais escuros são a melhor época de cada parque, quando a vegetação mais rala ou a água escassa facilitam a observação. Nenhum avistamento é garantido.
Melhores horários do dia
- Depois do anoitecer e por volta do amanhecer. Cape Genet: ativo sobretudo à noite, então um safári noturno oferece a melhor chance.
- Durante o dia, em repouso. Geralmente fora de vista, abrigado, numa toca ou na água.
