My best-selling line! I've been doing careful research (watching reruns of Meerkat Manor) and have worked out my own pattern for a mob of these adorable little creatures. They are all knitted in the round, with head and body in one piece, in a soft hardwearing acrylic.

This listing is for an adult meerkat dad. He is taller with a longer, slimmer body. Like the mum meerkat his back legs and tail have been wired to allow him to stand freely in the typical "tripod" stance.

Approximately 7" tall, standing, he is on alert for all possible dangers.

His flexible limbs and tail can be posed to suit you - he can sit and sprawl, his tail can be worn erect.

Not suitable for tinies due to seedbead eyes and wiring.
