A pile of very cozy Sun Angels.

In some regions of Africa, the meerkat is called a Sun Angel. The belief is that they have been sent by the gods to protect the people from the moon devil.

Soooo, we prolly shouldn't eat them in that case.
Gravdigr Friday Sep 23 11:24 AMI don't know how protected I'd feel what with meerkats weighing in at right about a pound and a half. Moon devils are werewolves after all.

footfootfoot Saturday Sep 24 12:41 PMInteresting? Ohh, I think not. Fascinating perhaps, but not at all interesting.
Sundae Saturday Sep 24 12:47 PMThere are a whole series of them now - adverts I mean.
I got a toy meerkat (dressed like Alexander) from playing the camel derby on holiday.
It doesn't make me buy the product - having no car! - but it doesn't repulse me the way some adverts do.
footfootfoot Saturday Sep 24 02:14 PMHave you bought a Petite Lap Giraffe or would Diz be jealous?
Sundae Saturday Sep 24 02:22 PMDiz would wallop that.
Crunchy, crunchy.
Trilby Saturday Sep 24 03:00 PMI LOVE that commercial!
Opulence...I haz it.
footfootfoot Saturday Sep 24 05:01 PMI also love the one with the giraffe running on the treadmill

How fun! I want one, too!
Sundae Sunday Sep 25 07:59 AMI would have sent him to you!
Or at least taken a picture.
But Mum insisted on a clearout of my room before I went back to school - yes it's as infantile as it sounds - and I gave him to a charity shop. I like to think he would have been immediately snapped up and the money is already on its way back to Africa.
DanaC Sunday Sep 25 08:25 AMThe meercat ads are starting to get a bit creepy in my opinion. Ever so slightly disturbing.

Why, thank you!
Moms are like that. Dads, too. Which is why I WILL NOT let dear hubby do that to MY kids!
I'm sure someone is benefiting from the dear meerkat. He's too cute to not provide benefit to somebody.
