Meerkats Revisited - Roundhay Park, Leeds

Leeds Meerkat

On the theory that you can never have too many meerkats, I revisited them and got some better meerkat portraits. You can see one fine fellow posing for me in the above photograph. Then again it could easily be a girl meerkat, I really cannot tell them apart.

Coming from Southern Africa, both South Africa and the Kalahari Desert in Botswana the meerkat or suricate Suricata suricatta is a small mammal and a member of the mongoose family.

Leeds is home to a gang of meerkats, living as they do at Tropical World, Roundhay Park in North Leeds.

Tropical World, Roundhay Park, Leeds is open daily except Christmas Day and Boxing Day.

  2. You should put a link to your earlier photos, then we can 'compare the meerkats'! (NB: Joke that only people familiar with UK TV ads will get!)
