ow! You really know a lot about meerkats now! You know where they
live, what they like to eat, how they raise their families, and what
animals they have to look out for. Let's see if you can use all the
stuff you know to figure out how meerkats solve their problems!
eerkats have the same kinds of problems as every living thing. They
have to find enough food to eat and keep from getting eaten by other
animals. They also have to raise families so there will always
be meerkats. All animals have to solve these problems, but different
animals do it in different ways.
hen you get hungry, what do you do? How do you get the food you eat?
Can meerkats get food the same way you do? Help our friend the meerkat
decide how he can get something to eat.
o you remember what animals hunt meerkats? Some, like the jackal and
the serval, try to sneak up on the meerkats. Others, like the
martial eagle, swoop down from above. How do meerkats keep from
getting eaten? Help our meerkat friend figure out what to do.
eerkats live in big family groups. Can you remember what some of the
jobs in the family are? Living in groups helps the meerkats to raise
their families. How do you think it helps to be in a group instead of
by yourself? See if you can tell our meerkat friend why he should
live in a family group.
u did a great job helping the meerkats solve their problems!
You sure know a lot about meerkats!
