Nice catch and nice coloring with the Meerkat , And last time I was there one of Meerkats had an attitude and was scaring the others.

Thanks. Yes, their was one on the other side of the mound that seemed to be chattering and bullying the others a bit. I got photos of him too, I just have to publish them to my website and I will throw one up on here of him.

I took a look at your site and that is a very cute little horse. And I'd like to see more of that little terror that was bullying the others Meerkats when I was there.

Thanks, I am guessing you mean the handy capable Llama/Alpaca by the little horse. Here is a photo of the meerkat I think you were talking about. He was a bossy little character. My Son kept on making fun of his chattering.

That does look like him, every time I'd take a picture of the little guy he would start making sounds at another Meerkat like it was it's fault . And that is a cute capture of him.
