Meerkats

A Meerkat is a small sociable animal that lives in colonies. It is active during the day and shares in the work of the colony. Some Meerkats go hunting for prey and others tend to burrows or warm in the sun but there is always someone on guard duty. Sentries will take a high spot and watch the skies for potential danger from predators. If danger is spotted warnings are sounded through barks or cries of alarm. In captivity, Meerkats have mistaken planes and helicopters for predators.
