For the love of Meerkats
Ever since I watched the program Meerkat Manor http://animal.discovery.com/fansites/meerkat/meerkat.html I have fallen head over heels in love with the little creatures. So instead of being perpetually disappointed that they don't roam the streets of Edinburgh I thought I would make my own...
Meet the Meerkat
I think it's quite clear that this is one of the naughty Meerkats, not a clever one like Flower...but the sort of Meerkat that would forget he was baby sitting then run out for food...leaving the babies all alone so another Meerkat tribe could come and steal them.
I still like him though...
You are a true artist!

Great job - he's very cute and so realistic! I think he needs a name though...

That is so cute. I absolutely love Meerkat Manor - this one looks a bit like Youssarian, especially the last photo.

This is so incredible! One of the best crocheted items I've ever seen! I'm dying for a pattern, but nervous I could never do it justice - that face is darling!
