So photographer Will Burrard-Lucas was just minding his own business while snapping photos in the Makgadikgadi Pans region of Botswana. And that's when he stumbled upon a group of viscous, blood-thirsty meerkats!



Just kidding, the meerkats were super cute. And lucky for him, they were just as curious to find out more about Will. He even managed to get close enough to shoot a three-week-old litter of babies. He described the experience on his blog as:
‘These meerkats are completely wild but over time they have become habituated to humans,’

‘Sometimes they just decide that sitting on a warm human is more comfortable than sitting on the coarse sand!’
Will even got a chance to take a selfie with Timon! Here's a couple more snapshots from Will's meerkat encounter.
