The striped mouse is active mostly during the day at Addo Elephant National Park in South Africa. The four stripes that give it the name run the length of the back.
OK, so you can’t see the stripes in this image. And why am I taking photos of a mouse. Because I thought this little chubber quite cute.
Little mouse stepped on an elephants toe. Elephant said with tears in its eyes, “Why don’t you pick on someone your size. Boom boom, ain’t it great to be crazy….” Old Girl Scout song I was reminded of.
Just a little fun for April Fool’s Day. But I really did see this mouse.
Haven’t thought of Boom Boom Ain’t it Great to be Crazy in years. Brought a smile to my face and so did this cut little chubber. You’re right, no stripes here.
Happy to know someone else has heard of this song.
So cute almost like a Chipmunk except for the big round ears. MB
I found this to be the cutest mouse ever.
Agree with Sherry about the song, but I think my granddaughter has it on a cd.
Cute little guy.
And here I thought nobody would even know this song.
Big smile all over my face . . . cute and funny, great post.
Thanks. Always nice to bring a smile.
Are you sure you saw that mouse?
I love how you are photoshooting everything in sight. Good thing you are not shooting film.
Thank goodness for digital. And yes I did see that mouse.
You actually get to see them quite often in Addo if you keep your eyes open. The problem is getting them to sit still for a picture.
True. I got lucky with this little chubber.
LOL!! I am glad you sang me that song Gaelyn. 😀
I I hadn’t you’d really be sure it’s me who’s crazy.
The very minute I saw the title of your post I thought of that Girl Scout song. ;>)
I am so surprised that people actually know that song.
