Geocache Description:

Easily accessable location, beware of lots of small muggles.


The very first cache placed in Capri, hidden inside a nifty container cleverly disguised to blend into the surroundings. Part of the green belt in Capri, this piece of land is owned by Capri's Cape mole rats. Everywhere you look there are mountains of sand piled high by these creatures, mind your step and don't fall trap to their many burrows.

Cape mole rats have cylindrical bodies with short limbs, and large feet with leathery soles. The eyes are very small, and external ears are absent. Adults are around 16 centimetres in head-body length, with a 2 centimetres tail, and weigh around 180 grams. Cape mole rats can most easily be distinguished from other species of mole rat by their fur. This is russet in colour over most of the body, with clearly distinct, silvery-white underparts. The head is darker, sometimes even a charcoal grey shade, with prominent white markings around the ears and eyes, and a smaller amount of white fur on the muzzle. The hair on the feet is also white and their fur is thick and woolly in texture.

But just so you know, this cache has been kept above ground and way out of reach of these critters
