These guys are cute

The one that was looking up was following Life Flight overhead.

I like the last one. Sunbathing, varmint style.


What kind of animal is that anyway?

Meerkats are great subjects! Always willing to pose for ya.

I assume these guys were at the Houston Zoo?
I could spend an entire day at their display. These guys always put on such a great show.
The poses you caught are great!

Very cute!

Yes they were at the Houston Zoo. Spent a hot and muggy Sunday morning there with some kiddos.

You're right about them doing great poses. I did find it interesting that the one was so currious about the helicopter flying over head.

They may be cute but boy were they muddy...

In their natural habitat, hawks and eagles are predators. They can come swooping down and carry off a small meerkat, or baby.
Instinct causes them to be very concerned about large "predators" flying above their habitat.

They are cuties and almost human like in their behavior. Love Meercats.
