Meerkat... could it be Aleksandr Orlov?

With work I recently went on a trip to Whipsnade Zoo. I came across this lovely Meerkat, which just reminded me of the "compare the market / compare the Meerkat" adverts here in the UK. The children all had a great time and found it very funny when when the Meerkat's kept standing up!

Lovely shot - I was watching a programme about Meerkats and they're not as cute as they look

Amusing shot. I was lucky enough to go to Namibia a few years ago, and I was the one who was always looking in the opposite direction when one popped up at the side of road!

@colie Thank you, I was quite lucky with his stance as I think they were waiting to be fed! - Louise

@purplehaze12 Thank you Hazel - Louise

[Fisher Family]

@malc Thank you Malc, The way these Meerkats were going after anything they thought was food did make me wonder if they had a different side to them! - Louise

@bkbinthecity Thank you very much - Louise

@angelat Thank you. I think I was just lucky, as you often have to be with animals! - Louise

@dolphin Thank you. How frustrating for you on your trip. At least they didn't have too many places to hide when I was looking at them in the zoo! - Louise
