Meerkat
I'm often asked about the little creature sitting at the top of my blog. You'd be right if you're thinking he's a Meerkat living in the Kalahari Desert, Southern Africa. The reason he's here is because of the superb example he gives of good posture, relaxed, upright and free. This cool dude who's only around 30cm tall with a 20cm tail has featured on the cover of my brochure for over eight years, as you can see here.
Meerkats are part of the Mongoose family and live in large 'families' or groups. They inhabit burrows like rabbits, and when above ground they often huddle together. One of them will always keep a lookout for predators by climbing a tree or standing tall. They will stand on their hind legs and use their tail as a support, rather like a tripod arrangement. Wish I had one too...
