A Meerkat striking a pose and soaking up the sun on a cold morning. This photo was taken at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado Springs. One of these days, I'd love to travel to South Africa and see them in their natural environment. Apparently, meerkats are believed to protect against werewolves. Good thing to know during the full moon...Skip over to Camera Critters for other pictures of animals.
Edit: Fixed spelling of Meerkat (thanks Abby!)

love the posing. he looks quite noble and this is a great shot!
You used the lighting and shadows to your advantage and to enhance the image beautifully... my focus goes directly to that nose and eye - fantastic photograph.

Fantastic photo with great detail and lighting. He looks like he's perplexed and wishing to ask a question. hehe
great up close picture of merekat
I really like this. I feel like it should be wearing a monocle or a pearl necklace. :)
cool! Did you know that's not how you spell meerkat?
Hi Abby! Thanks.
That is the problem with lazily trusting the web. I saw some stuff that used Merekat instead of Meerkat.
Good eye!
