Just took a look at Sentinel and he is sooo cute! I think your guy is my guy’s brother… LOL. I loved painting the little fellow… felt sorry for him too as he was not having any fun while his family foraged.

Every time we visit a zoo we go to see the meerkats … last month we saw some in Barcelona zoo and there was a little baby meerkat who was standing to attention copying the adults … really sweet … and really sweet describes your excellent painting too.

Hehe..they are the cutest!
I remember seeing a David Attenborough documentry, one was sitting like that on his shoulder.
