Stunned Pamela Warriner, 75, had to ‘compare the meerkat’ when she saw the faces of three of the weasel-like animals engrained in her new garden fence.
The knots in the grain of the wood appeared to form the beady eyes, pointy nose and grinning mouth of the inquisitive creature.
And the thin cut of the wood for the fence panels meant the impression has been repeated three times over.
Her son Marius took a snap of the fence when he recently visited Pamela’s home in Dover, Kent.
Marius, 38, a railway worker, said: 'The fence actually belongs to my mum’s neighbour, it’s just a normal one you can buy from a DIY store.
'When I went round to visit my mum I saw the markings on the fence for the first time.
'I couldn’t believe it when I saw these three faces that look like meerkats.
'Mum and I compared the other side of the fence but that was normal.”
Meerkats - Suricata suricatta in Latin - are from the Mongoose family and come from central and south Africa.
