Meerkat $2.25 Meerkats are highly intelligent social creatures. They instinctively know how to use teamwork to survive living on the ground and in burrows.

While a group of adults are actually out hunting (they eat insects, small rodents, reptiles, etc.) the young are taken care of by other adults in the colony. At the colony, there are always members who act as sentries, standing guard and alert to any predators.
