I have been to this Meerkat cage no less than 5 times since '06 and have never left there with a Meerkat this pretty! I came close only once, which was on my first visit. But as it turned out, it didn't have a tail! This is one beauty! The lighting is perfect, the entire photo is sharp, crisp, details galore ... and it's pose, to be sure, is only for you! Hold your head high, Valarie!Carol L. Fowler October 13, 2009
