I visited my little #gundi friends last month, so here's a #WhiskersWednesday and #WildlifeWednesday two-fer. If you're into the sad beige mum aesthetic, this is your spirit animal. 😬

Gundis are about the size of a guinea pig and native to North Africa. They're also known as comb rats, because their hind feet have comb-like bristles between the claws. And, just like last time I saw them, these little shits expertly hid their hind legs so I'm starting to think the whole comb thing might just be a crazy marketing idea.

I didn't know we have a #WhiskersWednesday and I had never heard of a #gundi until Sunday, so two firsts in one post! 🐹
Gundis are the size of a guinea pig and live in Northern Africa (and tiny zoos close to Magdeburg). They are also called comb rats, because the two hind feet have comb-like bristles between the claws. I didn't see the bristles, because this handsome gundi was chilling on the log, but the #whiskers are #cute too 😸
