Wildlife photography duo Ann and Steve Toon are known for their dramatic shots of lions, elephants, rhino and other species they encounter in the African wilderness. We particularly love their photos of meerkats, the strange mammals belonging to the mongoose family, that hang around in groups known as ‘clans’ ‘mobs’ or ‘gangs’.
