Are you open to learning about one of the world’s most beautiful creatures? It’s Meerkat time! The mongoose family includes these adorable little carnivores, known for their timidity and ability to stand up straight. In this photo essay, we’ll examine the meerkat world through the eyes of Japanese photographer Mamekoro.

The Kalahari Desert in Botswana, Namibia in South America, the Namib Desert in Africa, and the southwest of Angola are all home to meerkats and small mammals. They typically live for seven years and are found in over twenty different groupings. When meerkats are young and dine on insects and other animals, they mimic the eating behaviors of adults to learn.

Despite their small size, meerkats have an incredible ability to stand on their hind legs, which makes them very photogenic. They are also known for their shyness, which challenges capturing their photographs. Mamekoro, the Japanese photographer, recently did a fantastic photoshoot of a shy-at-first baby meerkat, which has become quite popular on social media.

Meerkats are a fascinating example of nature’s tricks for better species survival. They have evolved genetically and biologically to survive in their harsh desert environment, such as their ability to eat evil creatures like scorpions at a very young age by observing and imitating their elders.

Meerkats are undoubtedly one of the cutest creatures in the animal kingdom, and their shyness and cuteness make them all the more endearing. If you plan to visit the zoo, visit the meerkat exhibit to catch a glimpse of these adorable creatures in action.
