The maned (or crested) rat Lophiomys imhausi is a distinctive, nocturnal, rodent present in scattered populations in woodlands and montane forests of northeast Africa from central Tanzania to east Sudan. Maned rats are herbivorous.
The aardwolf Proteles cristata is the smallest member of the hyaena family (Hyaenidae). Although this insectivorous carnivore resembles the striped hyaena Hyaena hyaena in appearance, it has black feet, lacks a black throat, and is much smaller, being about the size of a jackal (9 kg). Two subspecies are recognised; P. c. septentrionalis in eastern and northeastern Africa and P. c. cristatus in southern Africa.
During 24–26 June 2016, Steve Collins (Director, African Butterfly Research Centre), Bennie Coetzer, and Andre Coetzer (butterfly experts from South Africa), visited Lolldaiga Hills Ranch to join Mike Roberts (General Manager, Lolldaiga Hills Ranch) in advancing the Lolldaiga Hills Ranch Butterfly List. Together, they added 13 species to the Lolldaiga Hills Ranch Butterfly List, bringing the total to 135 species.
