These gregarious animals are often seen in groups, and several families may live together in a large community. Squirrel-sized meerkats are mongooses famed for their upright posture. They often stand on their rear legs and gaze alertly over the southern African plains where they live. Mothers can even nurse their young while standing.
Meerkats (also called suricates) work together in numbers. A few will typically serve as lookouts, watching the skies for birds of prey, such as hawks and eagles, that can snatch them from the ground. A sharp, shrill call is the signal for all to take cover. While a few individuals guard the group, the rest busy themselves foraging for the foods that make up their varied diet. Meerkats will eat insects, lizards, birds, and fruit. When hunting small game, they work together and communicate with purring sounds. Meerkats are good hunters and are sometimes tamed for use as rodent-catchers.
Meerkat groups utilize several different burrows and move from one to another. Each burrow is an extensive tunnel-and-room system that remains cool even under the broiling African sun. Females give birth to two to four young each year in one of the group's burrows. Fathers and siblings help to raise meerkat young, teaching them to play and forage and alerting them to the ever present danger from above. Young meerkats are so fearful of predatory birds that even airplanes will send them diving for cover.

The national Weather Service has issued a Nipple alert for the Upper Midwest United States.
Current temperature is 31 F, and with gusting winds...... Giving it a 6 F feeling.
Possibility of rain that may turn to slush or snow.
But ground conditions are so that accumulations shall not be a problem. But roadways may be slippery.
My advice would be to warm body before heading out.
Preferably human to human contact under covers. This saves the planet from greenhouse gases caused by the burning of fossil fuels to heat room.
With this simple act. We can lick this problem and add a little love to our day. (Of the planet of course. Fiddley dee.)
But spreading a little Pre-Christmas love is not a bad idea either......You can never give enough love. So have a warm cup of coffee. And bottoms up........
This was a National Weather Nipple Alert.
You may now return to whatever you were doing before, Hopefully it had nothing to do with chocolate and body........
That is all.
As soon as we pulled up (behind trees) this whole mob of roos kept an eagle eye on us. Pretty sure the big guy in the centre was the pack leader.

Got up this morning. And those girls were standing erect like rockets at that Elon Musk launch site. All gassed up and ready for lift off.......
And then I looked at the temperature, I did...... And it was 1' F. With a wind chill of -17 below... With a high of maybe +5 F forecasted for remainder of day........
Well............... Scratch laying outside in a bikini soaking in some sun rays today.....
And winter doesn't officially start for another 9 days.....
So....... Remember what I always say....... Yup...... Keep things simple.........
Think I'll crawl back in bed and get some shared Sandra heat... And maybe some of her massaging fingers to get a little blood circulation......
Can never have enough blood circulation fiddley dee !!!!!

One from yesterday's trip into the hills. The snow was melting and there were only patches left, so I had to be creative with the composition.
