Meerkat Figurines
What's the difference between a meerkat figurine and a meerkat ornament? We were a little stumped by the difference too, until we did the decent thing and reached for our Concise Oxford Dictionary, which says:
ornament: an object designed to add beauty to something; decorative items collectively.
figurine: a small statue of human form
So, there you have it: since figurines should be in human form, it figures that meerkat figurines must be anthropomorphic to fit the description. (That long word means to attribute human characteristics to an animal. Like Aleksandr and Sergei, for example.)
In short, our selection of meerkat figurines are either dressed or holding mottos, so they are cute, decorative, add beauty to any home, and can be yours with a click of a mouse. Phew!
