I told you, I had a lot to eat yesterday!

Matilde is a volunteer at the Kalahari Research Center, where groups of habituated wild meerkats have been studied for several decades. The meerkats have been trained to step on a scales several times a day, enabling researchers to collect individual data on their foraging success. This meerkat found the scales the best place to enjoy the warmth of the morning sun!
