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

    This is a wonderfull picture.As a guide in Namibia, meerkats is one of my favorite animals to show of to customers.The light is perfect.

    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… :)

    good one!!

    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.

  8. Alex Says:

    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!

  9. Paul Indigo Says:

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

    Waiting for the bus :) )) The decisive moment…
