Meerkat guarding his 'mob' at the Houston Zoo. It was amazing to watch him constantly move with every sound he heard. The 'mob' was busy building and digging below. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by today. I always appreciate your visits. Anita

That is an excellent shot of the Meerkat! You caught him perfectly in his guardian role! I love the soft green leaves behind him, too.

It's all about perspective and perception.
He's just posing for you (a ham?). Very interesting and I agree with Patty's comments about the background.

Great shot of this meerkat. And, like "Keifer" above commented, my mom is addicted to "Meerkat Manor" on Animal Planet. She gives me updates every time I talk to her. Thanks for sharing this picture.

Wow, Anita!! These guys are so cute. I love their faces and those of prairie dogs. The colors in here are terrific; the rust of the meerkat and the soft green of the foliage hanging behind him. The contrast in lighting is superb. A wonderful shot!

Super image Anita, animals are so difficult to shoot, but here you have outdone yourself.
I see the animal has a dutch name, Meer Kat, translation would be in English:

Just an old "Grampa" who still has a Kodak "Box" camera kicking around the attic ... learning and enjoying the wonders of modern digital photography.
Lovely picture Anita. Perfectly captured the moment and a very nice background too. Thanks for sharing. Andy

I just love meerkats and I really like the foliage behind him that almost looks like green fur. Nice composition with the critter more to the left since he's looking to the right. So cute. anne :-)

Just downright excellent! I love the slight blurring of the leaves in the background and yet that cat is perfect! It's reminds me of a slighty toasted marshmallow... just perfect. :-D
