It’s been awhile since I posted a meerkat. This guy was running straight toward me while I was down on the ground. The sun was getting a bit higher in the sky, but still providing nice side light. As with all my meerkat shots, this was photographed in the Makgadikgadi Pans of Botswana. Nikon D300 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 340mm) ISO 400, f/5.6 at 1/800th of a second.
That’s a perspective we don’t usually see in photos of meerkats, as few photographers “git down” low enough to successfully capture head-on shots. It happens to be one of your best tricks of the trade, Sean. Nice eyeballs on that kat!
No matter the pose, these guys are always entertaining. Thanks for sending a shot to bring a smile out today, Sean. Hope he knew he was running toward a friend!

Might be one of my absolute faves.
