Meerkat in a Photoreal Portal Lab

A photorealistic meerkat standing upright on its hind legs in a high-tech portal lab. The meerkat is alert with crisp fur texture, visible individual hairs, amber eyes, and a twitching nose. In front of it sits a circular portal framed by a brushed metal ring, emanating swirling cyan and violet energy with tiny sparks. The surrounding lab is filled with glass display cases, holographic data panels, illuminated control terminals, steel benches, transparent test tubes, and dangling cables. Cool white overhead lighting mixes with the portal's glow to cast blue-purple reflections on metallic surfaces. Shot at eye level with a shallow depth of field, focal point on the meerkat and portal, cinematic, ultra-detailed, 8K-ready.
