Plant Thieves

All over Table Mountain National Park, one finds holes like this in the ground -- often along the footpaths. Is it plant thieves? Well, yes, although it may not be human ones. This is what porcupines do, too. OBSERVATION: Porcupines were a part of wife E's diet on the plateau where she grew up, and still provide an occasional feast for the family. A porcupine may easily weigh as much a a car tyre, or a dozen chickens.
