Kristina spent the entire month of May travelling around Southern Africa. There were many highlights of course, but one of my favorites has to be walking with the meerkats in the morning. Shortly after sunrise, they emerged from their burrows and immediately took up position in front of the sunshine to warm their tummies, huddled together. They simply ignored us and went about their own morning activities as if we weren't there. This troupe has been habituated by the camp staff at Jack's Camp in the Makgadikgadi Pans in the Kalahari, Botswana. When they were warm, they set out to find breakfast. They dig for such delicacies as scorpions, their favorite food, snakes, frogs and other creepy crawlers.
