Show-Stealing Critter Poses With Tourists At Table Mountain

It may have got in the way of this tourists' photo, but at least this little creature was polite enough to show its best smile for the camera. The rock hyrax (Procavia capensis) popped into view just as Briton Nadine Dougherty posed with her Spanish friend Laura Molina on top of Table Mountain in South Africa.

Guido Del Solar, who took the picture, said: I was taking the picture and suddenly this animal appeared right in front of the camera just as I pressed down on the button. I thought it would keep in running past but it stopped and looked at the camera.
