Sentineling Meerkat, Hefei, Anhui, China
Meerkats are one of my favorite animals. They’re not native to the continent where I live, but the zoo has brought them here and worked hard to create an environment that feels as close to their natural habitat as possible.

The birds caught here are passing through shallow water, chased by their shadows. I thought the combination of the two was a […]
