This picture shows an alert meerkat that is perched on the very top of a tall monolith rock, where it is able to enjoy excellent views of the surrounding landscape. Meerkats often find elevated spots or stand upright to attention, so that they get the very best views possible when watching out for any potential threats and predators, calling out loudly if they spot trouble.
