This meerkat lives in Animal Kingdom, one of the Disney World parks in Orlando, FL. Since Timon is a meerkat in Disney's The Lion King, I thought the title fit.

The subject is supported by a diagonal swath of rock that is big enough to frame it on the bottom but no bigger, which is good because it's just a rock after all.
The OOF background is very nice, probably the best part of the picture, nice curving shapes that move the eye around without taking it out of frame. The colors match the meerkat very well, as if he had evolved to be camoflaged in this very environment.
Your subject is well focused and has twisted around to look over his shoulder, allowing us an idea of what both his back and front look like.
If anything, the picture is too perfect. Everything is so well-placed, with no distractions, that it becomes rather static. So if someone were to give you a 4, for example, it would be because of that staticness and because he's sick of meerkats. But as you know most people saw fit to give you 6 for a skillful photo.
Right then, joke's on me as I now have to plough through 564 images and bump them all (yes, all of them) up. There'll be a third run through for fine tuning. It's day two three four now and I'm running late, sorry.
