Barbara Dudley
Talk about an incredible family pose...:) v
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Barbara. I'm watching four groups to see if anything like this could happen again!
Craig Carter
Great capture! How much did you pay them to pose? lol
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Craig. They did it for free, but perhaps they expected some mealworms!
Christy Usilton
They are so perfectly posed - it's not easy to get human subjects to be so cooperative - haha. Such a wonderful family portrait! VF
Wanda Brandon
Oh my. How sweet is this. f/v
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Wanda. There are five young ones at present but I don't image they will be so co-operative!
Chris Scroggins
Excellent stop-action animal photo! So challenging to get a photo of 5 animals all looking in the same direction. Bravo! **voted**
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Chris. There are two groups with baby meerkats. I must train them also!!!!
Melissa Alleman
Fantastic capture! Fav
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Melissa. Maybe some of the young ones will learn how to provide another opportunity like this!
Dale Ford
Oh come on, this is just not possible! This is what can happen when timing and opportunity combine with talent. Just perfect! f/v
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Dale. I guess it's being in the right place at the right time, with a quick responding compact camera ready for such an opportunity!!

Lil Taylor
Margaret, thank you very much for your nice comments at my site. I LOVE this photograph of the meerkats. Oh my gosh, how cute and what a fantastic capture with them all piled up like that looking in the same direction!! FAV/Vote!
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks Lil. It's amazing, but yesterday I saw five babies just out of the burrow. Perhaps they could be trained to do that, too!!!!!
DiDi Higginbotham
Outstanding! Favorite
Margaret Saheed replied:
Thanks DiDi. I'm hoping to be able to see a new group soon. Maybe they will be good 'posers' too!
