It's Saturday so it must be time for Camera Critters!
One of my favorite animals at the Houston Zoo
is the meerkat.
I could watch them all day long.
Here he is on sentry duty.
He caught me taking his portrait!
He turned his head as I snapped.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend.
Be sure to visit Camera Critters to see other wonderful critters.

The meerkat or suricate Suricata suricatta is a small mammal and a member of the mongoose family. It inhabits all parts of the Kalahari Desert in Botswana and South Africa. A group of meerkats is called a "mob", "gang" or "clan". A meerkat clan often contains about 20 meerkats at a time, but some superfamilies have had 50 or more. Meerkats have an average life span of 12 to 14 years.
