Vlei Rat?
I saw this rodent close to our camp on the bank of the Orange River. The closest permanent human habitation is ±5km away. The rat was snacking on some green leaves.

Very interesting. Does not like human food so it is not dependent on human habitation.

Re: Vlei Rat?
Excellent photos. I can only imagine this rat species has fallen victim to some of those monster Orange river sharptooth catfish.
