Jerry,
Suricata suricatta is the scientific name. Meerkat is more popular i think.

Andreas,
GREAT PICTURE! I've seen these critters on animal shows and documentaries. They were referred to as Meerkats. Neat animals, very family oriented and playful. I think they are related to the mongoose.

It's a Meerkat!! The only ones of these that I've ever seen are standing on their hind legs and look so sweet! This fellow looks rather menacing and it didn't register. Thanks for the link Andreas!

"guenon"
This is the LEO translation for Meerkatze (I know, German - close enough?).
MW says:
Main Entry: gue·non
Pronunciation: 'gwe-n&n; g&-nOn
Function: noun
Etymology: French
Date: 1838
: any of various long-tailed chiefly arboreal African monkeys (genera Cercopithecus and Erythrocebus)
Does kind of look like a monkey.
