Meerkat Pup

On the arid, dusty earth, a meerkat pup sits alone, its eyes wide with the innocence of youth and the wisdom of ancestral vigilance. The earth around it is marked by small holes and burrows, a labyrinthine refuge from predators. The pup’s fur is still scruffy from its recent entrance into the world, a little creature learning the ancient art of watching and waiting under the African sun.
