Mum, with her baby meerkats seen at Orana Wildlife Park. They were so cute! Dad was up a tree keeping look out.

They are such interesting characters I couldn’t stop at one picture.

    Michelle, great photos! One meekat is never enough, we have several in Leeds. Oddly I only found out when friend in Minnesota asked me if I had seen them. Small world.

    What would the world be like if all families, especially human, had parents as good as these. I wonder.

    Your photograph is, by the way, excellent.

    Meerkats are fascinating. What a privilege to see them up close and personal like this. Super shots of this family.

    I hear these loveable little critters have a decent bite on them if you happen to put your fingers to close 🙂 Great set of photos!

    I suspect they are good parents. I could have stayed and watched them for hours, and was just about to go when they all finally stopped running around and grouped together like this. Probably because a zoo keeper had entered their enclosure to fill in the burrows they had made (they were watching her every move)!
