A bit different to my last few uploads..
This little guy took a moment from his busy digging schedule to allow me to take his photo. As you can see he is very shy…....not! These guys have soooo much personality and are happy to pose at anytime.
the meerkat is part of the glitterbugs range of cards by Flaming Rhino
Lino cut print / Artist’s Proof / 2007 “Meerkats” was inspired from encounters with these little creatures in Southern Africa.
Who’s watching the watchers? / There are up to 4.2 million CCTV cameras in Britain – about one for every 14 people… / London has 10,000 crime-fighting CCTV cameras which cost £200 million. But analysis of the publicly funded spy network, has cast doubt on its ability to help solve crime. In fact, four out of five of the boroughs with the most cameras have a record of solving crime that is below average.

A Meerkat portrait taken at the Adelaide Zoo in South Australia. Meerkats fascinate me and this little chap seemed equally fascinated “by” me as he obligingly sat and stared straight at the camera whilst I took this photo.

! The Meerkat….Suricata suricata Family – Mongooses (Viverridae) Range – Dry grassland (often hard or stony ground) in southern Africa. Diet – Insects, spiders and other small animals, eggs and bulbs. / Status – Secure. Notes – The meerkat is a favorite display animal because it demonstrates a high level of social and other interesting behaviors. Members of a group take turns standing guard in a characteristic standing pose on high ground, such as a termite nest or rock. Active during the day, the animal enjoys stretching out and basking in the sun near its burrow, / ever ready to dash below ground on the discovery of a predator approaching on the ground or in the air. A colony averages 15 individuals, which represents several families, and larger females dominate the males. / Offspring number 2 to 5 and are born in December after a 77-day gestation. / Members communicate with over a dozen kinds of calls, and with scent from anal glands. Meerkats so closely resemble ancestral carnivores that their teeth and bones are scarcely distinguishable from fossils 50 million / years old. The family is placed between the cats and weasels.

Meerkats are one of the cutest animals to watch and this mother with her three young were even more adorable to watch. Luckily I remembered to capture a few images as well.
