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.
