The Straw that broke the Mountain Zebra's Back

[Pumbaa]

Awesome bird shots, Mel,

plus bokkies quite a couple of different ones plus those adorable meerkats - Love the playful ones - A more than successful morning for sure

[Flutterby]

Those meerkats are just too cute...great pics!!

The black wildebeest may not be too pretty but I do love their colours.

And the morning is not done yet, Pumbaa

Flutts, which wildebeest do you deem prettier of the two ugly ones?

[Mel]

While we were watching the meerkats, there was the mongoose still foraging quite close by. But I had to make a choice and at the end of the day, the mongoose came only second. Also, because it was only one while the meerkats were a group of eight (the rest was entertaining the SO on the other side of the road...) Once the meerkat ran further into the field the mongoose got all my attention though



Alert and very cute





Always checking the sky above for possible attackers...

[Mel]

We proceeded to the main road, getting ready for cheetah-o'clock... but no cheetahs

Instead a familar chat looking a bit ruffled, but posing nicely:

[nan]

indeed cute Mongoose

not easy to make a choice... glad the others run away

[Mel]

Further on a family of zebras with another cutie pie with them

Nice mongoose shots Mel.

Cute little chat too.

Love your zebra pics.

I kinda was glad, nan Otherwise I would have stuck to the meerkat and the mongoose might have been gone... Plus, it was on the other side of the road, so I had to climb into the back of the car, so the SO didn't have to turn the car around. The climbing also made sure I left it to the very last minute

[Mel]

Agree, Dewi! The chat is cute too, looking a bit unkempt
