EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the moment of a Noki, or Dassie Rat (Petromus typicus), as it sits calmly on a sun-kissed rock in the breathtaking landscapes of Namibia, Southern Central Africa. The Noki, a unique and endemic species to Africa, is a fascinating mammal that belongs to the family of Old World rats and mice. With its distinctive bushy tail and small, rounded ears, this rodent is a must-see for wildlife enthusiasts. The Noki is well adapted to its arid environment, with a thick, waterproof coat that helps it to conserve moisture. Its agile and sure-footed demeanor allows it to easily navigate the rocky terrain, making it a common sight in the cracks and crevices of boulders and cliffs. This photograph, expertly captured by renowned wildlife photographer Geoff Trinder, invites us to appreciate the beauty and resilience of this remarkable creature in its natural habitat. The warm tones and intricate details of the image transport us to the heart of Namibia, where the Noki thrives among the rugged rocks and vast, open plains.
