Meerkat staring at my camera
Such a cute animal. I had to capture this photograph as the animal stared into my lens. It was beautiful.
The meerkat lives in a clan of 20 to 30 individuals, gathered around a dominant couple. These animals are known for their developed social organisation: while some individuals hunt, others stand guard. Standing on their hind legs, these sentries sound the alarm as soon as a predator (snake, raptor, jackal ...) is spotted.
The whole group participates in the breeding of young people, who are born underground after 11 weeks of gestation
