TABLE MOUNTAIN / TABLE BAY

A NICE CLEAN TABLECLOTH

THE VIEW FROM THE TOP

The Rock Hyrax, or "Dassie", is a resident of Table Mountain, a loiterer wherever folks congregate to eat and, by all accounts, the closest living relative of the elephant.

Phespirit failed to find any of the Himalayan Mountain Goats which allegedly roam here, but did see a pair of Lesser Doublecollared Sunbirds, as flash as their name suggests.
