Aww, meerkats are awesome animals. I really hope Eric likes them. You've described them and their habits excellently in this poem. Has he ever watched the lion king? I think he would enjoy those movies.

They are cute little things. Cute but I'm sure deadly. Those claws and teeth I'm sure the critters can do some damage. It's interesting about them being so smart, how they solve problems. I guess being as little as they are with so many predators it's probably wise to stay in large groups. This is very well-written, interesting, very educational. I look forward to reading more.

    They are fun, aren't they, I couldn't use any other animal knowing how much everyone likes the meerkats. Thank you, Barb, for another lovely review. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)) Sandra xx

What a marvellous episode Sandra, you are a prolific writer, I love this series, so thank you for them, and Eric must be blessed out of his ever loving socklets. My wife loves these meerkats, but from human perspective eating the little ones isn't great. Wonderful post my friend, blessings, Roy

    I thought that part was awful, but there was worse that I decided not to put in. It's difficult to gauge where to draw the line when it comes to facts. Thank you so much, Roy, your reviews are always so kind. Have a lovely week, my friend. I hope you had a lovely Father's Day. :)) Sandra xx

    We tend to look at animals though a human lens, which is wrong,

Ok, this one older kid that found this really interesting. When ever I run across something like this, I'm always amazed how animals are so versatile, and how they work together. This was so much fun to read, and thanks for sharing.

Awe, Sandra, this is just so interesting. I have to say that I don't know the first thing about the Meerkats, but you have taught me a great deal about them. How clever they are when the go haunting and kill the scorpion. Yikes. I love this series. A big hug. Ulla xxx

    I only knew that they were cute to look at, all the rest was new to me. I don't know about the youngsters, but I'm enjoying learning about all these animals. I'm glad you are too. Thank you so much, Ulla, for the six stars, and another of your wonderful reviews. Big hugs, my friend. :)) Sandra xx

This is a great chapter, Sandra. The info was well-researched. I enjoyed reading and learning about the meerkats. You did a great job interspersing the pictures, too. Your poem at the beginning sets the tone for what follows Thanks for sharing.

Meerkats...such funny animals! I have seen a video showing meerkats popping up suddenly and almost standing up on the hind legs, or maybe sitting upright, I could not see that right. Good and interesting descriptions again, Sandra! Really enjoyed it.
