Lovely, that taken with my lens?

I've only ever seen meerkats stood up or running around on the ground, never seen them in a bush.

Lovely shot, just get feeling he didn't stay there for long as he doesn't look to steady lol

Apparently I've just been told by the parents in law that this meerkat is the "guard". He sits in the highest point possible - usually in a bush or a tree as a lookout and he alerts the rest of them when danger is on the way. Apparently it was on Meerkat Manor.

I like this - a different take on the usual meerkat shot!
