meerkats venture into the snow

Sayuri and Möfzi - meerkats at the Mundenhof animal park in Freiburg/Germany venture into the snow on January 10, 2010. Möfzi collects some treats but is irritated by some sheep that are led past the enclosure.
These scenes were recorded with the video function of a sony cybershot TX-1 compact camera. under conditions where you don't want to operate a lot of buttons and carry only a lightweight camera with you this delivers quite acceptable results, within the limit of the only 4x optical zoom. my rather old panasonic GS-8 camcorder is about to crap out, time to get a proper HD camera I guess...

Nice to see Sayuri & Mofzi are doing OK.

Möfzi didn't look good at all during summer, she had lost a lot of weight & seemed apathetic.

But she has recovered well although she doesn't like running. (she is at least 11 now)

Sayuri is just unstoppable.

Next spring will probably show who will become the new dominant. It's not impossible that this will be Sayuri despite her handicap.
