They look weird. They’re necks look too thin.

looks like a “do re mi” kind of pose.. from the biggest to the baby in the pack!

wonder how you “bribed” them to sit still…

The moment is the king in this wonderful photograph. Good composition. The larger meerkat looking to one side is nicely balanced by the smaller ones looking to the other side. Not very often one gets to capture so perfect a moment. You will definately treasure this image for a long time to come.

You have captured an amazing moment among meerkats. A lovely shot–you could not have “ordered” a better pose for a meerkat family portrait!

Looks like a typical morning – Mom & the kiddos heading out for the day. Very nice shot, Giampaolo.

What a great shot! Excellent contrast between the red earth and the gray fur. I don’t think this could have been timed more perfectly – the elder looking to the right and the youngins off to the left!

oh – I take that back… too bad they weren’t in a “see no evil, hear no evil, say no evil” pose! ha

Kudos!

I love the way three are looking in one direction and one the other way.

They are so funny… How long did it take you to get them to sit still
