Description
This was captured in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park on my recent visit.
These critters (Ground Squirrel or in Afrikaans Waaierstert Meerkat) are very tame in the camps and would eat from your hand. This one is having a raisin! One of them has mistaken my bright pink toenail polish as something to eat and bit a little hole in my nail and at the bottom of my toe... It was freaking painful but hilarious at the same time!
Thank you for popping in and and for your very welcome comments and favs on my last upload "The Babysitter".

What a cute little critter. Sorry about you toe though. Thanks for sharing. :)
A grand shot of this cute little critter.
Hehehe!! Little toe rag. To coin a brit phrase I find it hilarious what you described, but at the same time I say OUCH! Wonderful clear capture my friend.
He/she is a cutie alright, brilliant image Carin.
What an experience! My parrot attacks nail varnish too. A super cute pic!
Superb capture Carin. God bless.
So close and so wonderful!!
Wow...awesome close-up!!!
Just love his whiskers. Xx
What a cracker shot with lovely details
Adorable Image,
Great shot of this cheeky little fellow .
Ground squirrels are hilarious but I've never seen one who looked this happy. A superb capture of this little fellow.
Very cute capture hope your toe is doing better
cute but naughty I am guessing. Make sure you take care of that toe as well !!
very sharp
Adorable! I hope your toe is okay, Hun. Ouch!
They are cute and I notice no external ears - unless someone had mistaken it for a snack! :) :>)
yes cute, close and clear! perfect for the january challenge!
Lets hope he didn't have RABIES!!!!!!!!!!!
O dear Andrew - is that why I'm foaming at the mouth!!! :):) - Just kidding! I nursed the toe and apart from a piece of nail breaking off, I've had no infection and it has healed 100%!
WoW Wonderful !!! It is very nice!
That is a fantastic shot Carin, sorry to hear about the toe the shock when it happened must have been something else !!
Excellent capture!! He might have been after the toe ring...smiles!
LOL... She might have been Bruce but I think it was most likely the pink nail polish! :)
Sweet little girl! She seems to like her raisin...next time take more things to distract the little critters or wear closed toe shoes! Wonderful shot!
Top notch in all aspects of photography in this magnificent portrait, Dierbaar. And, wear combat boots next time you're at the park.
AMAZING WORK!
Yep! Thats sure is cute! lol Wonderful shot. Rob
