Runner-up, mammals: Meerkats on the move – Ann Toon (UK). “The image shows members of a small mob of meerkats ( Suricata suricatta) dashing across the sand in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier park, on the South African side of the reserve. They are headed to their sleeping quarters to spend the night underground safe from the Kalahari’s predators. I had been shadowing this colony for several days, photographing their behaviour. They were always on the move while at the same time keeping the tight social bond of the group. Here, I used a slow shutter speed to convey this behaviour”.
