Here is another from Meerkat manor at Tswalu.
Like Dumay's image, these Meerkats are photographed early in the morning as the group warm up in the sun and I can assure you, there were not alone!!! When we set off from the lodge it was -4 at 6.00pm, temperatures I'm more used to in Canada's winter whilst skiing. The overall colours are a lot more redder because of the soil & location.
Thanks to those who posted or viewed on the last posting.

I personally like the crop and detail is stunning, love the silky look of the fur. And yes the subject is leaning backwards, but they often do that and don't fall over like us humans, LOL. The tail gives them balance and support
