As winter arrives, animals in parks across China are taking advantage of sunny days to enjoy some warm sunshine. Among them, meerkats are stealing the spotlight. A group of meerkats at Chishan Lake National Wetland Park, located at the border of Jiangsu and Anhui provinces, have been basking in the sunlight, delighting many tourists.
Native to the southern African plains, meerkats, also known as suricates, belong to the mongoose family. These squirrel-sized creatures are renowned for their sentinel behavior, often standing on their rear legs to vigilantly survey their surroundings.
The adorable postures and social interactions of these meerkats have attracted numerous visitors to the park, making it a popular destination for nature enthusiasts and animal lovers alike.
