Meerkats live together in large communities and are very friendly towards each other. They work as a group to look out for one another, with some meerkats being posted as lookouts to watch for predators and others being used to hunt prey or nurse the pups. Often pictured ‘standing up’ on their rear legs, these inquisitive creatures are alert to every movement around them.
The dark patches around their eyes help to reduce the glare of the sun, making them even more effective lookouts. They communicate by chirping and make shrill sounds to warn each other of potential dangers. Captive.
Hello Bob, cute Meerkat photos. Have a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteTo see one catch and devour a scorpion is an experience you don’t forget.

ReplyDeleteI've never seen closeups of meerkats before - these are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI always think meerkats look adorable, but also a little melancholy. They remind me a lot of our Columbian ground squirrels in terms of their behaviors. Great shots!
