Once again a sad sight -- an animal in confinement.
Meerkat (Suricata suricatta), aka
suricate or
sticktail, is a small, burrowing, carnivorous mammal of southern Africa, related to the mongoose. Needless to say, such a frisky creature is a tricky subject for photography.

Oh, what a tragedy - to see Meerkats in cages such as this! They truly belong to the desert.
