Mere thoughts....


Captured in National Zoological Gardens, Dehiwala, Sri Lanka

This furry mammal known as Meerkat (Suricata suricatta) is a member of the mongoose family. It is a desert dweller living in packs which can contain up to 50 members. Its iconic posture is standing on its hind legs to scan the surrounding for predators.

I found this very thoughtful creature in a cage with three other adults and a baby. It seemed to be reflecting on the free world that lay beyond the confines, inside which it was put for an uncommitted crime.

    That's truly a thinker. Fantastic capture!!
    I like to go to zoos, but feel guilty in the same time because I feel sorry for the animals...
