Meerkat in Dense Fog: Photorealistic Sentinel

A photorealistic image of a meerkat standing upright on a small sand dune in dense fog. Ultra-detailed fur showing individual guard hairs and damp texture, warm tawny-brown coat with subtle sunlit highlights, bright amber eyes and twitching whiskers. The scene is a misty desert edge at dawn; thick fog swirls around, diffused soft light creating volumetric light rays and muted shadows. Ground is sandy and slightly damp, with tiny water droplets on the fur and whiskers. In the background, silhouettes of sparse grasses and scrub fade into the fog with a shallow depth of field producing a dreamy bokeh. Color palette is cool grays and desaturated tans with a faint amber glow. Composition is natural, realistic, cinematic, and atmospheric.
