Poto keindahan dunia dari mata lensa kamera - March 03, 2015 at 05:40PM



@mattiasklumofficial for @natgeo in the Kalahari. Two juvenile meerkats play-fighting, learning all the tricks in the book...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 forage 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 efficient hunters. Go to @mattiasklumofficial to check out a meerkat baby with poor "table manners"... Females give birth to two to four young each year in one of the group's burrows. Fathers and siblings help to raise the meerkat babies, 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. My first meerkat assignment was back in 2002. Since then I have enjoyed many moments with these incredibly entertaining creatures! #meerkats #kalahari #baby #instagood #conservation #fun @natgeo @thephotosociety
