Cool - what is he? A meercat or something? Excuse my ignorance of wildlife.

That is what I thought at first, but it is a mongoose. Slightly larger and I reckon a lot faster.
It is in a zoo in Fuerteventura (canaries), hence the wire background. The light was bad. This was at 72mm (432mm eq), f3.3, 1/30th, ISO400. Hand held and braced. Lumix LX5. Canon 350 D.+ 18-55 Kit lens + Tamron 70-300 macro. + Canon 50mm f1.8 + Manfrotto tripod, in bag.

NT73,
Nice capture and your patients paid off. My wife gets frustrated with me because I will sit for long periods trying to get a good shot...and if I don't see it I don't snap the pic. God Bless...keep shooting. In Christ, Brad For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty. 1Peter 1:16
