Finalist – Earning his Stripes – On a very hot day in Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, on our way to the Nossob Rest Camp from Mata Mata, we spotted this four-striped grass mouse looking for something to eat. It was so cute to see how fast it ran up a thin stick like this. - Ilna Booyens, Centurion, Canon 7D MkII, Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6, ISO 400, f/6.3, 1/2500 sec
