| Meerkats (or suricates) are very smelly, but turned out to be some of my favourite animals at the Zoo. They are apparently very smart and are able to build and find their way around complex networks of burrows. The two individuals shown here, standing on two feet, are actually on guard watching for predators and will alert the other group members in the event of any danger. The tallest of the two does not seem to mind my presence too much but is still keeping an eye on me... | ||
