738. Meerkat
Meerkats (also called suricate) are small mammals living in the Southern African plains. They are famous for their alert standing posture on hind-legs. Their little ones are afraid of predators from above like eagles and hawks who lift them bodily. The groups communicate very well, and always keep a few male members on sentry duty. Even at the sound of an aircraft the little ones seek the safety of their burrows
