Thanks Bob. I didn't know meerkats were around Pretoria. I've only seen them around the Kalahari.

Thanks for the comment John. Meerkats can be quite friendly in the wild once they get to know a person. My choice of a telephoto had more to do with where I was shooting from with respect to them. In South African National Parks, you are not allowed to leave your vehicle except in certain areas, and this wasn't one of them. So, I had limited options for where to shoot from to get this guy.

It's quite ironic I have just come home from taking photos on a golf course in Pretoria where I got some nice pics of a friendly little meerkat, I get home, log on to usefilm.com to see what's new and low and behold, this pic is the "Featured Critique of the Day" - great shot, it just embodies the little buggers, my shots pale in comparison, fantastic..........

Unusual pose for a Meercat James,well captured,It would appear from your use of a tele photo that they are very timid in the wild.

James great to see you on the front page and a treat to come back to this beautiful meercat. I think when I viewed it before in ws medium, it popped up this morning in full size and it was even more life like practically leaps out the screen - Am putting in my favourites

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww its unbelievably adorable!!!!! The cutest mearcat image!!!
Its not just cute but it takes a while to get over the cuteness to appreciate the outstanding photography skills shown here!
All the important details are sharp! we can even see the hair on his belly, excellent moment it seems as if hes grinning looking with curiously at the photographer or maybe the huge lens lol
The background is perfectly blurred but what makes it really special is the composition with the upper and lower branch framing this cute little guy!
Well done my friend! very impressive work :)
