fascinating creature

Apparently there were many different species,the largest of them about the weight of a small horse, the smallest the size of a mouse

I have met a few.

They live at the top of Mount Kenya and I wandered up to see them when I lived in Nanyuki. They mostly lived near lake Hohnel
