Description: Macroscelides micus study site in eastern Goboboseb Mountains, northwestern Namibia. View from the northern end of #4947M home range looking south across home range area of #4020F. White flagging on top of rock in foreground is a day shelter of #4947M. Boscia bush in far middle of image was used as a shelter at night. The alluvial plains between the Boscia bush and the sand dunes in far distance, beyond rust-colored rocky Macroscelides micus habitat in foreground, were rarely used by M. micus, but are likely habitat of M. flavicaudatus. Wooden handle of radio-tracking antenna on right margin of image is 30 cm long.
