"What it's like to fly?"

My Zoology teacher says he's looking out for hawks, I say he wants to be the hawk.

Oh! This sort of looks like something you'd see in a National Geographic magazine, in one of those "nature as Canon sees it" ads. It depicts the animal doing what they do best, in a picture with great composition. I think the little guy's pose is the best of all. You got him at just the right angle, showing off the characteristic meerkat wares: the twitchy nose, the claws, and the lovely brindle coat. Very nice shot, my friend!

And on a total sidenote this sort of makes me miss that Meerkat Manor show. I wonder if they're still playing that...? ;_;

:lol: :wow: Awesome shot here :heart: Love how close you got to him, that you can even see his little teeth XD I think I'm with you on the he wants to be a hawk thing too =3 Once again, amazing shot! Perfect!

Thanks :) I'm amazed I got this too! If I recall the day correctly, I was running late to meet my class, but the meerkat called to me! :XD:

*thinks of a flying meerkat*

Thanks! :D This particular meerkat is always sitting on that rock of his, but his pose was something special this day for it made me stop even though I was in a hurry :XD:

Meerkat Manor's still running, but a new season featuring Flower's daughter :3

My, well it sounds like this little guy really loves attention from people. I'nnit cute when semi-wild animals are like that? It's a shock that he didn't notice you and flee. Hahaha!

Oh! It's still on the air? Cool! After Flower died the show went on a short hiatus and I thought that they had decided to end it with her death. How sweet! I'll be sure to keep a look out for that now. <3

He's a favorite with the kids because of that. They all call him Timon =P

I missed that episode. All of a sudden it was Flower's daughter calling the shots!

Thanks! :) You should post a photo or two! I'd love to see more than one meerkat in action! :D
