Default Those Wild and Crazy Meerkats at the Wild Animal Park

I took these shots at the San Diego Wild Animal Park, the lookout guy was on top of a mound while at the bottom his friends were huddling up together. I could just imagine the little lookout guy saying:

"You guys down there keep trying to break the world's record for the biggest Meerkat Ball while I, Habusu, keep my out on this suspicious looking guy with the funny white lens"

Thanks, doing some internet research on this I found out that the meerkats do this for warmth in the everning right before they go into their burrows underground fot the night. This shot was taken around 5PM as I was leaving the park on a failry cold day by SoCal standards.
