Meerkat-Suricata suricatta

Can live in the wild up to 10 years and the a Meerkat community is called a mob gang which can consist of up to 40 individuals with a dominate male and female. The dark circles around the Meerkat's eyes act like sunglasses to help them see better in the sun. Found from Angola, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. I would love to say something dramatic that this Meerkat was scanning the sky looking our for a bird of prey but in fact it was looking up at a police helicopter.
