Hi again,
as threatened in my previous contribution, here is the full body shot of
that yellow mongoose sweetie living in Schwerin Zoo. The mongoose, by
the way, share their burrows with the meerkats and seem to get over
pretty well. of course, I have also taken a few meerkat shots but I am
too tired to scan them today :-) Tomorrow's another day and you'll
eventually get the meerkat pics (if they are usable for scanning which I
have yet to check).
Good night -
Ralf
