Meerkat (Suricata suricatta) on guard duty on a dead branch from where it can see predators, especially vultures. The meerkat lives in colonies in desert regions of southern Africa and feeds during the day, mainly on insects. A shrill warning cry will send the colony fleeing to its underground burrows. Photographed in the Kalahari regions of South Africa and Botswana. | |
