Mongoosing Around

"Patience is the key to photographic success is a lesson 15-year old Wynand van Wyk learned while watching a pack of Mongooses in South Africa's Kruger National Park. 'We were driving along a gravel road when I caught sight of a group of Dwarf Mongooses,' explains van Wyk. 'We inched closer, cameras at the ready, and when we were within range we turned off the engine and sat quietly. After 30 minutes or so, when the shy animals had grown used to our presence and started behaving naturally again, I was able to capture this image of two youngsters play fighting."
