They do have a community!


Will somebody help me identify what these animals are? I forgot their names but little and fragile as they are, they do have a community!

It was in Curumbin Wildlife Sanctuary where I saw them...group themselves, communicate...as if they have something to accomplish.

If each citizen will do his part, agree and work in unison to finish a particular task then...

hahaha :) those cute creatures really are adorable...reminds me of the two annoying, rude, but funny brothers of the lady mammoth in the movie Ice Age 2. i've read some quite info about these animals, they are called "possum" when threatened or harmed, they will "play possum", mimicking the appearance and smell of a sick or dead animal, very clever huh!

Tama si James. Meerkat nga yan. Suricate, also called meerkat, slender-tailed meerkat, or zenick, small member of the mongoose family that inhabits the Kalahari Desert of southern Africa. Suricates or meerkats are known for their upright posture and highly sociable behavior.

Suricates typically live in dry, open areas and savannas. Their range extends from southwestern Angola to South Africa, and includes Botswana, Zimbabwe, Mozambique, and Namibia. These social animals live in colonies, usually in desert places with sandy soil where they can dig elaborate underground burrows.

Colonies can number up to 30 or 40 individuals, but smaller groups are also common. Social hierarchies often exist in the packs, with a dominant male and female breeding pair in a family group that includes nonbreeders who help care for the young. Individuals in a colony usually cooperate peaceably, sharing pup-rearing duties and taking turns standing guard to watch for predators.
