Meerkat Manor, a photo from Dublin, South

Photographer's Note

As soon as you enter the Dublin Zoo on the right hand side you would see a gift shop. Proceeding furhter will lead you to a wonderful place called Meerkat Restaurant.

There is a good variety of food and when you are having food there would be some people around busy digging their sand. There is a family of Meerkat which live in that restaurant. They are inside a glass protection with some rocks, lot of sand and a branch. they keep digging the sand. They will come near a glass and run from one end to another. It was fun watching them.

Unusually I saw the whole group in one place. They were all standing as we see in Animal Planet and I took this shot. I waited for the fourth one you see on the left side of the photo to join them and stand but then it didn't happen.

The note is interesting but you can shot this photo almost everywhere, in each zoo even in Riga.
And quality could be better.

Hi Priya
A good shot of these Meerkats and in a familiar upright pose. The picture could do with some extra sharpness though, and a bit more brightness. Nice effort all the same.
