It is always great to find a group of these delightful creatures, especially early in the morning when they come out to play.

Likewise, I've never seen one of these. My dwarf mongoose gaps are rather large. sad

Very nice. I like the alert pose.

Nice detail for 560, Ken. I like the lifted leg pose.
