I was returning from the Maternity at about 3am and as I turned the corner onto the mill road I saw a largish animal on the road. At fist I thought it was just one of our dogs coming to great me but then realised it had white markings on its head and tail.
The africans in our area call it a "chikayi" and the dictionary definition is "of the badger or skunk family. It stood for a few minutes looking at the car and then decided discretion was the better part of valor and ran off the road into the bush. Still it was interesting and proves that there is still some wild life around. I would prefer not to have a difficult maternity case in the wee smaa hoors in order to see them !!
